How to write the best kind of statement?

Writing a ps is tricky and usually requires quite a few drafts, but since you only have like 6 days I’ll give you the quick tips my teachers gave me.
1. You should constantly be speaking about why you want to study the course and why you are best suited for it.
Every paragraph should emphasises why you are the best candidate,e.g your skills, extra curriculars...
2. Usually structured with and intro, work experience/extra things you’ve done that’s made you interested on the course
A Levels
Conclusion
3. Be reflective on what you’ve learnt and how that’s helped you become the best person for this course
4. Have a catchy first sentence
5. NO QUOTES, they’re so cliché (everyone always uses them)
6. DO NOT LIE
7. Do not make it suited to one specific university, remember all your choices will end up reading it!

hope this helps a little, good luck with your writing!
