Mark my personal statement!! for medicine

I'm applying for the undergraduate medical course in the University of Oxford. I need advice on my personal statement, would someone be so kind as to give me advice on it? Preferably medical students in the Oxbridge sector.. :biggrin:

Where is it?

The student room has a load of previously used personal statements here:

And quite a few of them have detailed feedback. Have a looks through and make sure you're not making the same mistakes as other people.

The student room also runs a personal statement review service and you can find more info here:

It's generally a good idea to get a teacher to look through it and give feedback, and maybe get your parents or friends to read it as well to look for spelling/grammatical mistakes.

I assume you already know this, but don't post your draft anywhere public like the forum, because UCAS will flag you up for plagiarism.
