You can only use the space on the personal statement form, how did you do two pages?

I managed to fit approx. 630 words in the electronic application version (Times New Roman, size 12). It's shorter now though because I don't see admission tutors wanting to read too much of the same type of thing.

You can definitely fit more words in the electronic version (compared to writing it or photocopying it onto the form). I found it really hard to cut stuff out, I only managed a couple of lines so it still uses quite a lot of space!

Talking about your a-levels and the skills they have given you/relevance to your course is always a good thing to talk about.

What subject are you applying for?

Im writing mine at the moment as well (around 500 words but I have MUCH more to put in), I too have talked about my reason from picking my A-Levels and how I think they will help me be successful at degree level.

What course are you applying to study and at what kinds of Uni's???
What were your AS grades???

Sorry for the questions but Im interested how other people are doing thier applictions (nobody I know seems to care)!!!
