Hi everyone,
I'm from Sheffield and applied to uni last year to do modern languages. I applied to five unis (including Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam) and got offers back from all of them. I decided to go to University of Nottingham, but throughout my time there my mental health got worse and now I'm having to move back to Sheffield for more support.
I realise the deadline for equal consideration has already passed, but I want to apply to modern languages courses at Sheffield and Hallam for 2017 entry. I have 3 A*s at A-level (Chem, Spanish and German). I know a lot of languages courses were in clearing last year so I'm hoping I'm still in with a chance.
Should I mention my time at Nottingham in my personal statement? I have mentioned it in my education history, but I don't know if it would harm my chances to talk about mental health problems/leaving another uni. Should I just write another statement similar to my previous one and ask my referee (a teacher from sixth-form) to explain that I need to study in Sheffield for personal reasons?
