Hello! Student applying for Law entry, title as above.
Any general advice would be lovely. More specifically about me, I had a bone disorder which left my GCSE/ beginning of Year 12 attendance at a mere 40% throughout the 4 years, and achieved A*A*AAAAABBBC at GCSE and would like any tips on how to bring this up on my personal statement?
Im aware having "reasonable" (Lower than average for Law courses I know) GCSE grades that were obtained through mainly self study is an achievement and demonstrates commitment, but I don't want to be overly cringe-y in writing this in a personal statement.
Any advice welcome!
Thank you.

I don't think it's something you should put on a personal statement, instead get the person writing your reference to mention it.

My reference will be mentioning it.

Ahh okay. In looking at pages that talk about tips for writing a Law personal statement, some mentions that a demonstrated commitment to your studies is valued. Is it still not worth mentioning?

Your referee can write about it much better than you can, and it also adds a layer of legitimacy. You don't have space to cover things twice, so don't include it in your personal statement too.
