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

Personal Statement

Going through the application process and my sixth form is pushing for us to have around 4,000 characters but I am on 2,700. I have gone through why I'm passionate about the subject, spoken about recent news stories and what I do outside my school hours related to the subject. What else could I say to push it past 3,000 characters atleast?

I talked about my year 10 work experience if you did that? That took up quite a bit of mine.

Talk about the topics that you are looking forward to studying in more detail.

Go into more details about the projects that you have done so far. What you enjoyed, what went well, what was difficult, what went badly, what you would do differently if you were starting again
