Did you ' bend ' the truth in your personal statement

Nah I was 100% honest

Looking back over my PS and I feel bad cause there's quite a few things I mention which aren't exactly 100% accurate....

did any of you guys say things to make you look good or am I the only one lmao

What did you bend the truth about#?

going to a museum and seeing something ; i saw the things on a website but i haven't actually been to the museum in real life... read a whole book when i just read like an 1/8 of it

Yeah I did the same thing about the book though I read 1/2 but yeah didnt finish it before I submitted personal statement. What subject did you apply for

maths ... basically I read a bit of the book and wrote a few lines about this envelope paradox thing and said how it was interesting ect and then when i went for an interview at one of my unis i had to explain it to the guy... basically someone gives you two envelopes and one has X amount and the other one has 2X amount and you can pick one, but this paradox says that once you've picked one you should then swap as if you swap then the expected amount you;re gonna get will increase but once you've swapped then again its better if you keep swapping... the guy was like so ' how is that the case' and I'm like ' i don't really no ' and then he was just like yh i don't really understand I'll look into that further so maybe what i learnt here is put something really stupid on your ps that even the professor won't understand lmao

Haha fair enough. I did finish the book after I submitted my PS so dont know if I did something wrong or not haha

There may have been a few slight exaggerations...

Well, I may have exaggerated a few points, but I didn't exactly lie. It may have helped me get 5 offers :s
