Personal Statement Help

Hi
I've been pretty unsuccessful with my applications, getting rejections all round without interviews (apart from my 5th) to fairy average unis boundary wise. Since I've got a predicted A*A*A and 2740 B1 ucat I'm assuming this is because of my personal statement and having spoken to some people they agreed that my PS could've done with a fair amount of work.
I was wondering if some people whom have been invited to or attended interviews for dent would be able to send me their successful PS's as it would be extremely helpful for me in reapplying next year. I understand that UCAS are changing the system to questions however the content and the manner of writing alone would be very helpful with ideas for my application in October.

Thanks!

Hello. This depends if you applied strategically. Could of applied to low ucat unis like Plymouth , Cardiff if excellent GCSEs. Remember there are unis that don’t look at personal statement they may tell you say it in interview like Bristol or Plymouth or more.


Strategise it. For PS I would suggest you go to this medicine group in what’s app (Myucat) but I’m not sure if they accept late or not maybe it’s a fee or something
