Hi @Raghad511 !
My advice would be to set your statement aside for a day or two then come back to it with fresh eyes. I always find that this helps a lot with being able to spot mistakes that you may not have noticed before. I also found it helpful to ask some trusted family/friends to have a look and spot any errors. It can be easy to miss these things when you are reading something over and over again, so an extra pair of eyes is always helpful!

Thank you so much 🙏🏻
If you can ask a friend or family member to read it out loud to you. That’s the best way of checking if something is poorly worded or not well written.

Current students rarely have any insight into what makes a good PS.

Well then that’s subjective because I found that it really helped and I did that over the summer. When I went back to school teachers really liked my PS. So yeah, it’s subjective

Hi @Raghad511 ,
For correcting and editing it, the best advice has already been give! Getting other peoples perspectives on your personal statement is valuable as they can point out errors you may miss. If the person knows you quite well, they could even give you some examples of what to write about yourself.
When it comes to general personal statement advice I recommend this UCAS personal statement worksheet and this UCAS personal statement guide.
Good luck with your application, please feel free to ask me any questions 😊,
