Come back here at 5pm on Thursday 26th November to join in!
Does your personal statement content have to match what is written on the reference? E.g: My teacher is writing that I am an Ambassador, do I have to mention this on PS if I don't have space.
Would work experience and extra-reading be classed as an extra-curricular? Would an EPQ be classed as an extra curricular? How do you start a personal statement?
I am currently a Student Ambassador here at Surrey and studying a degree in Psychology. If you have any questions about Surrey, university life or questions in general, I would love to answer these for you!

Hi, I got my personal statement done, it's not 60-100% perfect, but as long as I can get into a good uni, I'm fine. I've currently lost 3 places, but I have 2 more to go. If I don't get into any universities, I will come back to you.
