University is not my first option, it is a backup I have completed my profile and my reference is in the works. I am yet to write my personal statement. How do I write a good one in a day? What structure do I use and what do I talk about?
A personal statement should include: - why you want to study the degree you’re applying for - what skills you have developed - what have you learnt when partaking in an extra curricular
A personal statement should show your passion for the subject.
Generally, a personal statement is 80% academic and 20% extra curricular.
I wrote mine in the structure of: Why I want to study that subject and what I'm interested in within it My 3 current subjects and how they all relate to my chosen course My EPQ and an online course I completed and how this confirmed my interest in my chosen course Extra curricular things (still relating it to uni) Then I ended it saying that I'm excited to study that subject further etc.
