Occupational Therapy Personal Statement Question.

I'm applying for OT on UCAS however, does anyone know if I can refer to Occupational Therapy as (OT) in my personal statement (after using the term Occupational Therapy)?
I've shown a number of friends, family member and even careers adivsors and sixth form academic coach and none of them seem to comment or show raise any concern towards the use of 'OT' instead Occupational Therapy being used.

Could anyone let me know ASAP please,
thanks!

Thanks. I have another question regarding university. I want to apply to Oxford Brookes university I meet all the requirements (with higher grades) apart from the science GCSE. I have a equivalent to a science GCSE instead and they won't accept it. Is it still worth me applying just in case or not?

I reckon if I take the risk & write them a separate covering letter, I could get somewhere....

You are going to be wasting your time. Universities are often much tighter on GCSEs than A levels, and you have already been told by them that they won't accept what you have. Don't set yourself up for disappointment. Your best bet is to enter yourself for the exam in the forthcoming May if you are determined to go there.

What exam? How do I do this and what will this exam get me? I have no idea what it is ah!!
