Pharmacy personal statement tips
Over the summer I need to write my first draft for my personal statement but I think I don't have much to write about. I have work experience in a community pharmacy and I will include that but I don't know what else about me will appeal to universities. If anyone can recommend pharmacy specific activities which could boost my personal statement it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
It's great that you have work experience relating directly to pharmacy. Regarding what else to write about, I would recommend doing some extracurriculars and supercurriculars. For example, since Pharmacy is heavily based around chemistry and maths I decided to do a Chemsitry Olympiad and Senior Maths Challenge; take a look and figure out if your school offer these. You could also do a free online course (a MOOC) on a subject relating to Pharmacy, futurelearn has lots of free ones you can look at.
In short, try and see what you have already done and alter it so can showcase skills that relate to pharmacy.
Good luck and I hoped this helped!
