Get your personal statement reviewed by a TSR PS reviewer before you submit

Original post by james27227

How do I find the review once it’s been done, I’ve already done mine but I forgot where I can find the review

Should be visible here:

Heard that personal statement format is changing next year.
Are there any suggestions regarding the new format.

Hi Everyone! I´ve read in the instructions you´re not able to help with postgrad PS, but just to check it out: could you not help even if the postgrad course being in Management like Supply Chain?

thanks!

Unfortunately no.
Universities are looking for different things in a PG PS, the application process is different, we wouldn't be helping you very much and our service is extremely busy.
Sorry I don't have the answer you're looking for.

Hiya, I work in postgrad admissions (and read a lot of PS's!) but am not part of the PS review service on TSR. If you have any general questions you can post them here and I can try to answer. But please don't post any part of your PS as this is a public section.

Hi, I just wondered how long you would be closed for over Christmas? Is it longer than 10 days wait at the moment, because there might be more people trying to upload their personal statements before Christmas?

Also, is it always best to write in the first few lines an overview of what you understand your subject to be about (eg I’m applying for computer science degrees and AI degrees- so would need to write what I understand computer science is and AI is?). I have just written specifically about a particular area of biological research and how machine learning is used within that, and why I specifically want to go into that area.

Thank you! 😊

Hello, it's 10 working days. Not 10 days full stop.

Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th are not considered working days, nor is 1st January. So for the purpose of clarity...
Submit today, guaranteed by Monday 8th Jan
Submit tomorrow, guaranteed by Tuesday 9th January
and so on.

Your other question I must answer later, please quote this post to remind me.

There's no need to explain the meaning/definition of a subject, it needs to be about you and your enthusiasm :smile:

You can try, and you'll be added to the back of the queue, but we may not get to you in time.
