Thanx so much for the advice!!!! And yes I was informed by Trinity's admission tutor that the deadline for Cambridge applicants are extended to 31st Oct, so I've still got a few days😅

omg.......I feel so betrayed lmao. My school's internal deadline was set realllyyyyy early!!!! Gah!!! I wish I had more time to refine my submission, oh well! I hope yours goes more smoothly than mine!

Awww I'm so sorry 😭 But at least your school has given you help with it (I hope) but I wasn't told about this until last week so I'll have to inform my school about it and write the ps etc in a rush 😂 And thank you!! I'm sure your application is brilliant!!!

This isn't a rule, but I think it would be wise to avoid repeating anything that you've already mentioned in your PS. So if you've already gone on a fair bit about your passion/goals for your subject, you shouldn't waste words trying to bring the point across again. I started off with a small paragraph about my personal philosophy, before going into detail about my extracurriculars, and tying it all back to my passion for psychology.

By the way, I don't mean to scare you, but hasn't the deadline for Jardine already passed (20th October)? Is the deadline for candidates from your country different?

Good luck! I had to rush my essay as well haha (wrote it in 2 days!! gah)

I had emailed the people there and they said if appropriate, it was okay to use parts of the personal statement. I mainly focused mine on community involvement and whatnot since that's mainly what the scholarship is for right? I'm not entirely sure but it's submitted so it's not like it can be changed anyway :P

Yay another Jardine applicant! I think what you've done is good bc they will have a copy of our UCAS form anyway so they'll see our personal statement there👍🏼 Btw which college have you applied to and which country are you from?
