Yeah I have, although I don't really agree with most of the edits because it wouldn't sound like my writing if I implemented them and there's a few nuances in meaning that are lost. It's still good to get a second opinion but I haven't changed my ps much as a result if I'm honest!

So I love six unis. And I have five choices. I'm looking at Oxford, Edinburgh, Manchester, Warwick, Durham and Bath. I think I'm stuck between Durham and Bath, but I love the course at Bath, but I love Durham. Any help would be much appreciated! :smile:

I'm going to start revision soon, as I have 1 AS exam to revise for, 6 A2 exams and 2 GCSE exams. I know we've literally just started back at school but I want to go from DEE to much higher grades. I know I can do it :smile:

I just need to make sure I have this mindset all year round :smile:

also I need to make sure I'm on top on any homework and coursework I need to do, as that will definitely help :smile:

In form today my tutor said that universities are more likely to look at your application if you apply early, so you're doing the right thing!!!!!!

Any advise on writing a personal statement for a science foundation year
(Want to pursue career in pharmacy afterwards )
Do I talk about both on why I want to apply for the foundation degree or my career aspirations?

I'm no expert but more about the foundation degree - career briefly, but remember they're reading your PS for that particular course, not the job to potentially come in a few years.

Pretty much! If all the unis you're applying to have a same common unit, you could briefly say that this has inspired you because ...

Also make sure your opening is good - nothing cliche or boring :smile:
