Who has written an Additional Personal Statement?

A little off topic, but is anyone else seriously obsessing over the photo bit of the SAQ? I don't even know why, really, as it's obv not part of the selection process. I just took 28 photos and am now scrutinising each one individually, trying to find one in which I look pretty, personable, and suitably academic...

Surely if you're trying to pick the one you look most academic in, you're going to pick the one you look worst in?

I think I'm just going to write about my subject, there's no real merit in talking about the University as a whole as it's the same for everyone really.. I don't think it will really make any difference in your application.

I'm stuffed

Seriously, I can't write annythingggg

I applied for Philosophy, but Maths and Philosophy elsewhere. I'm certain they'll notice this on my PS so I talked about why exactly I applied to their course and why I think it'd be sick (because of the sheer amount of logic i'd be able to do).

But it could be the picture on your uni card that you will show everywhere to get discounts

I took a similar amount of photos but didn't really obsess. It just took me that many attempts to figure out that i was actually going to have to gel my fringe away from my eyes and that my normal smile made me look like a looney.

As long as you look presentable, not disgruntled but not cheesy I wouldn't worry about it.
