Don’t pad your PS with soft skills that aren’t directly relevant.

Don’t tenuously try to link your extra curriculars if they don’t tie in to your course. Just have your referee detail them in their statement.

Everything in the PS should relate to your suitability and motivation for the academic subject.

(I’m a senior member of admissions staff and I read a couple of hundred PS’s a week at peak times.)

My roles as prefect, house captain and student ambassador have allowed me to represent others by providing a voice for those that cant speak for themselves
