WHY IS THE PERSONAL STATEMENT IMPORTANT?
• Their first and perhaps only chance to ‘talk’ directly
with admissions staff
• One statement for all their choices (up to 5)
• If called to interview, the statement will form the
core of the questioning
• Many applicants will have good predicted grades
and so the personal statement gives them a
chance to stand out from the competition
• If the course/university does not interview, the
personal statement is their ‘electronic’ interview
The Application ProcessCONFIRMATION OF PLACESExam results are published and (may be) sent to universities and colleges by UCAS.
