Personal statement plagiarism question

There are a few people i want to send my personal statement to get it checked and ask for feedback.


If i email my personal statement to someone in an attached Word document, will UCAS plagiarism software detect it?




Thanks :smile:

That is such a relief :smile: because i also did a few paragraphs at school, which i emailed to my personal email address so that got me worried.

Thank you :smile:
As mentioned, emails are private. Only if you post any parts of it on forums etc. will it come up when UCAS put it through the plagiarism software. However, be careful who you send it to, as there is nothing stopping anyone from plagiarising it from the email itself, so only send it to the likes of teachers and family. Always better to be safe than sorry
