my PS is ok actually...

although I realise in advance how stupid I was to apply for a respected science degree that isn't medicine at Bristol when the premise of my personal statement was basically not being able to imagine not being a doctor.

*slaps head*

now if I want to cringe, try my BMAT essay. I managed to spell Hippocrates wrong. :frown:

How did you spell it? I suppose if you spelt it with a K instead of C or something, you're not too culpable as Greek transliteration is more of an art than a science.

I'll not read mine again until I have an offer! If I get an offer... :frown:

I wish English was my first language.

I only shudder because it was for Law for which I was accepted but...I graduated in History. Law urrggggggggh. Apart from that, it was very accomplished and well written.

Considering the amount of international students who attend LSE then clear off to their homelands I would have thought they wouldn't care otherwise they should stop admitting so many international students.

Mine was pretty good, I even followed through with the claim of "my blog I keep regularly updated".
Check it out in my sig. (Maybe not that regularly... but exams and stuff, plus lack of inspiration)

Mine was awful, and I showed it to my closest friend and she thought it was horribly cheesy as well... but my referee absolutely adored it so I'm not too worried. I was just pleased I stopped procrastinating and actually wrote it in the end. :p:

I spelt it with a 'y'! My mind blanked in the exam and, having just done the science section, had 'hypotenuse' on the mind!

I had no excuse, and they mentioned it in my UCL interview but I just told the truth and they told me they'd seen worse :p:
