HELP! Can I submit a similar Personal Statement to 3 different unis for MA?

I have 3 different MA Courses I wish to apply to, but I am only able to write 2 personal statements - can I use one of my statements twice (slightly altered) when applying to 2 different unis, or will they somehow know?

Usually, you use the same personal statement for every uni you apply for, I think.

For postgrad, you’re applying to the university directly, so yeah, you can use the same if you want to, with ot without slight tweaks. In fact, making it a bit more personalised for each uni might be in your favour. I.e. showing knowledge, understanding etc specifically about the uni.

It’s only for that specific uni and goes into their system, there’s no shared system between different unis for postgrad.

It’s not undergrad, where you apply through ucas to all the unis which the same application/ personal statement.

Just be careful to not be too generic or submit the wrong one to the uni. Lool you don’t want to be taking about Edinburgh when you applying to LSE
