Service to rate your personal statement?

Does anyone know of a service or a company where I can send my personal statement for university, in order to have it looked through and offer any assistance as to whether it needs to be finely tuned a bit more or to start all over?

That’s great. It’s a shame they only allow you to submit once.

Well, if you don't take the feedback on board the first time your PS probably wont be that good anyway :smile:

But yes, it's to give everyone fair access to the sevice as it's in high demand.

Mine is only a rough draft as part of an access course; hence, I know it’s not great and requires additional information to be added upon completion of my course.

But ideally, I’m looking for someone just to read and give me some feedback based on what I have written so far. Due to being a mature student, I don’t have a lot of friends to ask lol

There's a lot of good guidance and advice linked from the Personal Statment Hub here:

Generally I would not advise to use external services, (who will probably be happy to take your money in return for general advice, but don't have a clue about how statements are actually scored), or to ever share your statement with anyone online, (as it invites plagiarism issues).

After reading the above you can ask specific questions in this section before sending it to the review service, just avoid posting segments of your draft.
