I've just finished my AS exams and as I'm an early apply (medicine) my school pretty much insist we start drafting our statements now!
By the end of the summer I'll have over 320 hours of course-relevant work experience, plus 33 hours worth of summer courses, as well as all the usual further reading/extracurricular activities stuff.
Roughly 100 hours of my work experience are scheduled to happen this July & August, but I'm already on 3,300 characters on my (4th!) draft, with no conclusion yet either!!
I haven't used any super unnecessary sentences that I can find, and I've already had to really cut down what I've written about the experiences I've already got. If I cut any more, I'll fall into the "telling them what you've done not what you learnt" trap, which I'm keen to avoid.
Does anyone have any good techniques for bringing word/character counts down?
Thank you.
