I would like to know if it would be possible to apply to aerospace engineering at one university and mechanical at another and if it is, does anyone have any personal statement advice? this is stressing me out quite a lot and I thought it might be a good idea to get some advice so any is appreciated!

Hmm I did the same but haven't had any decisions so I'll just keep watch of this thread.

Can't really say how it's structured, but it contains why I like the course, some experience in engineering, and what I hope to do in the future -

but like have you talked about aerospace/mechanical more or talked about both of them, thats what i can't figure out how to do
In hindsight, I regret applying for two courses like that. Stick to 1 if you can -

Left mine as purely Aerospace. I'd rather have a good go at 4 than a mediocre go at 5.

yeah i considered that but i really cant figure out which one to choose, did you get an offer for mechanical? -

Got 0 decisions thus far. I'll let you know if I get it. I've asked around though and apparently I'm very unlikely to get it so -

Thanks. Honestly man, it is a herculean task to do it AND do it well. I wouldn't recommend doing it because most likely, it'll end up decreasing the quality of your PS. Is there no other Aero course you can find? -

For anyone who stumbles across this thread later, thought I'd give an update to say I did get my offers at both aero and mechanical unis with a completely aerospace based PS. This might be because the Mechanical uni I applied to (UCL) isn't ranked very high, but it is possible. So you can interpret that how you wish

why don;t you write a different personal statement for each course if that is possible. Taylor is to the course you are applying for,
I am doing a general engineering undergrad degree but when I go on to do my masters I'll have to pick mechanical or aerospace.
please let me know how you get on. -

It's a personal statement, unless you're applying to Oxbridge or Imperial no one will care if you write it for aerospace and apply to mechanical.

And Cambridge allows you to provide an extra PS in their SAQLast edited by Doonesbury; 02-01-2016 at 16:43. -

my main reason for choosing both is i want to pick unis that will give me a range of offers, and if i dont do very well im not sure i want to be doing aerospace engineering as it is alot harder, so i thought mechanical would be an easier alternative
