Essay character limit

Is it recommended to use the entire character limit for a personal statement? I have a limit of 5000 and my essay is slightly over 3000.

    Most schools either say 2 pages or 2-3 pages. I think 2 is typical, so maybe aim for that.

    If you can get everything you want to say across in 3000 characters instead of 5000, adcomms would probably appreciate it. They've got tons of essays and files to go through. That being said, you have more space to maximize your essay, so think about if you can add anything something that's meaningful? Basically don't just use it for the sake of utilizing it.
