This happened to a friend of mine last year; three of her university choices asked her to submit a new personal statement, the other two did nothing :confused:

Unfortunately that won't be enough for PS purposes, as it can only check what's openly on the web - it can't check against the UCAS database, which is restricted.
That's slightly foolish of you.

Hi, a few weeks ago i sent my application off to UCAS. I have recently received an email from them saying that there are similarities between my personal statement and someone else's and that they have informed my University choices. My older brother sent his off last year and I used a few similar sentences to his. It says that 34% of the sentences are similar, which to me seems way to much considering only really 3 of the sentences are truly similar. I have applied to quite high ranked unis, including Imperial. Therefore I am wondering firstly what my next steps should be, should i contact the universities directly? Secondly I would like to know my chances of still getting an offer.


So did you get offers from any of the unis you applied to or did you have to rewrite your ps and reapply?

The user hasn't been online in 2 years, so I highly doubt they'll answer I'm afraid
