Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

messed up the intro to my personal statement

I wrote 'after visiting family in Hong frequently' instead of 'after visiting family in Hong Kong frequently'. 3 teacher didn't even pick it up. Neither did some of my friends. HOW BAD IS IT?????? Help please. I'm going to contact ucas and beg them to let me edit it since im dyslexic

Maybe because they actually think 'Hong' is a country, or they just didn't read your PS properly.

I don't think it's too bad to be honest, and these admissions tutors look at like millions of these per second so I don't think they will pick up on it. They'll probably just think it's some kind of city or something.

I wouldn’t worry about it, as long as the rest of your personal statement is good then it shouldn’t be a problem.

It is not that bad, I mean they will probably think you were over the character count so thought to take the Kong out of Hong Kong, to get under the limit!
