If I am re-applying to uni this year would I need a new statement?

I applied last year and didnt end up going to Uni. I am trying again this year. Is it ok to use last years statement for uni? I really dont know who to go for this year so if I can't thats gonna make life difficult.

Why did they not accept you last year?

Did you inform your choices that you chose last year ? If you didn't, you may need to calll UCAS

Probably, I would rewrite it or at least update it as you can include your actual grades and what you’ve done on your gap year.

They did accept me. I got accepted for all five choices but I decided to not go in the end.

I just realised I worded my question wrong. Not my statement, you know when someone has to write a reference for you? Like a previous employer or someone, would my last years one be OK or would I have to get someone recent to fill one in?
I wrote statement but I meant reference- sorry.

Last year I got accepted by everyone. Only thing was Kent put me onto another course and not the one I applied to, but they still accepted me into a course either way.

my question was meant to be if I can use my last yeas reference, or will I have to ask someone else to fill in a new one for this year?

If they wrote a good one, I think it should be ok to reuse

I wont be applying to the same Unis as last year. Maybe I'll go for Kent again, but for the others I wont be applying there.

Alright, thanks for your help :smile:
Since last years reference is still in my account, so would I be able to use that?
