Default Personal statement 'personal qualities'
 
Hey, just wondering, i'm writing a first draft personal statement, and i know in the guide it says you have to mention your personal qualities in relevance to the course.

i wanna do biomedicine at kings/ucl and anatomy at bristol mainly, with my other 2 unis i don't wanna target as much.

what kinda relevant personal qualities would there be?

all i have is interest in subject, and willingness for research.

i'm not saying i'm going to use peoples own qualities, i just need some ideas to get my mind going and get anything that matches.

Thanks!!! Nick

anything. I remember saying stuff about being hardworking , e.t.c. I think 'personal qualities' is a very broad term that you can take anyway you like, although a majority of what you say should be related to your course. An example would be someone going into nursing saying that they are compassionate about helping others or something.

the best way to do it would be to list all your work experience, activities outside and inside of list and list the skills you learnt and them weave them into sentences....or you could do one of those online tests....

Interest in variety of things, well organised, any work experience, why biology (and probably wise to mention chemistry too) interest you. Examples of any research you have done in the past. Why research is important.

http://www.studential.com/personalst...ts/default.asp has lots example personal statements. Here's an example biomedical science PS: http://www.studential.com/bio/getps....0&view=subject
