Does this make sense for a personal statement opening for psychology?

Sounds pretty crappy.
Hi,
You shouldn't post any of your personal statement online as it will may get picked up by a plagiarism checker. Please be careful when posting sentences of your personal statement online. :smile:

When I've giving my personal statement to my psychology teachers, one said nothing while the other said it didn't make sense.
I previously hadn't questioned it and neither had my friends, wanted some outside opinions please :smile:)


Please do not post any part of your personal statement publicly on the internet. It may get picked up by UCAS's antiplagiarism software

I'm afraid you now can't use this in your actual PS.
Is that all you have for your statement?

It doesn't really make sense, your statement should be about you, not a question.

I used this for mine and it helped

WHY do you want to study this subject instead of anything else?
A good way to begin is to explain the moment you realised this - ie. a topic in another A Level, an exhibition you saw, a piece on the news etc.

Start with that.

I agree, saying why you want to study the subject and how you are suited to study psychology is what you need to focus on in your personal statement.
