Is it safe to send someone your PS via email or will it end up on the internet and maybe be in danger of turning up on UCAS's copycatch system as if you copied the whole thing from somewhere else, even though it's actually all your own work.

I would say be careful who you trust, you never know what might happen.

Don't send it anywhere near anyone who might also be applying in this round. There are numerous posts over the years on TSR regarding people who send a PS or academic work to a "friend" who then copies and submits it first.

Hi, I wrote my personal statement all by my self but I showed it to 4 people on the student room. Everyone I showed it to was at university. I had direct messaged them. I am getting really worried about ucas' copy catch. What do I do?

There's no real guarantee that the 4 people you showed your statement too were truly at university. Just because you private messaged them does not mean they can't recreate your personal statement or send it on to other people. Best to refrain from sending your personal statement to people you do not trust over the internet, and rely on family/tutors/teachers and only "friends" you trust.
You can't really do anything until UCAS process your application. If you're worried about their plagiarism check, you won't know anything until they send an email fully confirming that plagiarism has taken place.

If the recipients are actually at University and don't show it to their mates who aren't, then there will be no problem.
I assume you have submitted your statement. If so, there is nothing you can do so stop worrying.

I know, it's too late now. But is there anything I can do? I'm getting so much anxiety about it? I really don't want this to happen I worked so hard

If you've already submitted it go on to track and click on your application. Then under the personal statement it should come up with no similarities detected

There really isn't anything to do. Perhaps talk to your referee or the staff who organise the UCAS admissions about it and see what they say. Has your UCAS already been processed and sent off by your school?

No , it will be by the end of the month. I'm really getting anxiety. Everyone I messaged I found via TSR stalking page and before I showed them I asked them what their grades were, when they applied etc

Ah I see. There's still no real guarantee though. Best to rewrite some parts of your statements - perhaps there's a way you can improve it.
