Well if there was a 6000 character limit on personal statements I'd be fine now...

I'd have been fine with a 2000 limit tbh, I'm finding it hard to write 4000 characters at the moment. :s-smilie:

I don't think I will be able to fit everything I want to into 4000 characters :frown:

Although I've not properly looked at it yet.

I'm trying to do a joint physics and music one, but I think I could write 4000 about either and just can't seem to get the balance right! I have 2600 characters on physics now which is fine as this is the main part, but the music bit is about 1900 and then there's the extra stuff on top... Good luck with yours though!

I am infact Above.The.Empyrean and someone else before that. I was one of the first members here, and existed since the year 10 thread. :biggrin:

They both have the same interests:
Maths, Theoretical Physics and Philosophy, and both took the exact same AS Levels :colonhash:

I don't envy you having to do a two subject personal statement, that must be really difficult. Have you considered using the TSR PS service? I'm sure the PS helpers will be able to point out what could be cut out? :smile:

I think I'll do that in a day or two, I'll go back through once more tomorrow and make sure it's all as concise and possible, then give it to them to have a go at while I make a start on my EPQ :smile:

I was indeed, unfortunately I was hacked on that account. That is why there was a lot of confusion. (I had been keylogged via TSR), and that is why both accounts are now banned. :tongue:

Always good to have the thread legends back, first CharlieBoardman and now you. Although, you do seem to have toned down the language a bit now, which is good because I have less difficulty understanding you :lol:

Yes, it is worth it, but re-sit at least one chem module, and make sure your predicted grade in it is good.

Where were you looking at applying?
