What about space after commas, full-stops?

You definitely need to put a space after full stops and commas.
Admissions officers want to be able to easily read your ps, not be confronted by a wall of text.

Is it acceptable to not leave lines between paragraphs in the personal statement? Otherwise I'm 4 lines over. How it's arranged it's obvious they are seperate paragraphs.

I had the same problem and ended up cutting text in order to have lines that would separate each paragraph.

It ended up looking and reading better too, but it sucks that I was unaware of the 47 line limit.

Eeek, I've only heard from Bart's, nothing from Warwick, Newcastle or King's.

Just out of interest, has anyone had any confirmation from Birmingham yet? I have emails from my other choices (Cambridge and Bristol)... :smile:

Hey, I'm meeting the line limit but not the character limit. What should I do?

Use shorter synonyms or cut some words out?

Anyone know when we are likely to hear about interview offers?

Depends where you apply really, just make a note of when the interviews are for the places you applied to :smile:

I think admissions tutors will be sympathetic to not leaving lines between paragraphs - they're well aware of the 47 line / 4000 character limit.

Finally submitted! Managed to bite the bullet and make a decision about my choices (oh and also finally get my referee to do my reference). Weirdly, my UCAS PID did not change from before, which I can only assume is because the first time I went through UCAS was more than a decade ago... so they had no original number to change it back to.

I've gone for:

Newcastle
Southampton
Nottingham
St George's.

Good luck everyone!

Good luck. :smile:

Sorry, I don't know anything more than last year's threads can reveal about either of those. However, I believe you are correct about the way KIng's select, so if you are keen on going there, applying to both 4 and 5 year courses is a wise move. (Assuming you have access to loads of money!?)

Thank you, I need the luck! Good luck to you too!! :smile:

Does your UCAS personal id change straight away after submitting your UCAS or upon receipt of the welcome letter?! Just submitted and my pid has stayed the same as before, is this the one I give to UKCAT?
