Character count for PS and Reference

[Jip24]

Hey Guys,

Im kind of a noob here. Can you please let me know what is the exact word/character count for the personal statement and for the three references that needs to sent with the oxford application form for graduate entry medicine? I could not find this online.

Is it the same as the UCas one?

hey Jip24, there isnt a character count for the references or for your personal statement. I'm not 100% certain how the references were limited but the personal statement must fit into one A4 page. You can be sneaky with this and use a smaller font to increase the number of words you can fit in. This allowed me an additional paragraph in my oxford application over my UCAS personal statement. I think if your references stick to one page as well you should be ok with that - mine were all around 3 paragraphs - prob about 500 odd words. Good luck with your application.
