When is the best date to start the personal statement.


Hi Infrastructures,

I wouldn't say there's a definitive 'best' start date. My best advice would be to start as soon as possible (as long as you know what course you want to apply for). Personal statements are rarely perfect on the first attempt so the sooner you start the more drafts and edits you can have, which would hopefully make a better personal statement. There's no need to panic about it very early on, but maybe start drafting ideas of what points you want to bring up. I think it's better to have one finished super early than panic last minute trying to get one together.

I hope this helps!:smile:
