Personal Statement Tips!
Personal Statement writing is in full force! So I thought I'd post some tips for Do's and Don'ts when writing your Personal Statement.
Do's:
Explain why you are applying
Demonstrate your strengths
Be concise (you only have 4,000 characters!)
Use formal English, good structure and correct grammar
Don'ts:
Only talk about one university/course if you are applying to multiple
Plagiarise, copy or use AI to write it
Waffle
Overlook the subject that you are interested in
If you ahve any tips please add them!
