PS is really important, if it's **** and you send it chances are that you will be rejected. Post your PS and you'll get opinions and advice.
do not post it here tho, post it in the private PS forum
Perhaps you could ask Paul to help you with it. :biggrin:

All the 'great' ps I have seen have been cheesy


I can tell you that a great PS is not cheesy, and I advise you to remove all traces of cheddariness.

I think my PS was fairly decent, and it wasn't cheesy at all.
Alot of personal statements i've read online have made me feel sick they are so OTT...but yeah in mine i've just tried to write in my own way and big myself up but not too much.
As others have said post it to the PS help forum..I did this last night and have already been told by someone they will look through it this afternoon.

For the record I have re wrote my PS and I'm quite pleased with it.
I have played it simplish (that is not a word), kept it babble free and been quite modest.

If you have that in every other sentence it is not cheesy - it is just bad! Is de-worming orphans relevant to engineering? I don't understand what you are talking about with "bernards watch" (sic).

bernards watch was a kids program years ago where the kid (named bernard :rolleyes:) owned a magical watch that could stop time... :rolleyes:

de worming orphans comment is quite simple, 'holier than thou' B/S easy to figure also sarcastic.

and my new PS is quite nice I think.

What if they actually did, and it was relevant to their course? (Don't ask for suggestions, I don't know enough about de-worming orphans or many other courses than the one I am applying for).

When you get angry writing about yourself = emo

Just never start it with 'Ever since...'!

Oh the cheese!
