Comment on Studential

Well done Loftx for creating such a great site! I emailed it to my head of year, so she can recommend it to prospective University students.

would be cool if when ppl updated their statments it deleted the old one.. or at least if ppl could chose to delete old one... would be a great improvement

sorry, what I want is to comment. I'm new, I find the lay out a bit 'overloaded' may be with some BIG titles to click in, use of different colour or shade of colour(as you are doing).
I can't find a link to the forum on the 'homepage' either - I might be miss out, but it's quite an important part.
on your 'homepage', it may be a good idea if you 'expand' the sitemap area and explain a little to users on several pages, coz I'm quite a slow learner
it's a good site with lots of info.
some overseas advice may be nice.

I just want to inform any potential law applicants about the ridiculous level of competition for places on this course. Although I'm sure you're all well aware of this fact already (because of the current trend in grade inflation)I for one was stunned (admitting an arrogance of sorts) when I received four rejections for my chosen course after a plethora of extra curricular achievements and work experience, a good personal statement, ten A*'s and four A's. It really can be a destabilising experience when you have confidence in your ability to achieve great heights. I just want to make sure that all others applicants don't go into the process with the complacent mindset that I had - remember that in life, nothing is certain!

Hi Tom,

Simply wondering if there's any place where you can edit your details? Although I log in with my username, in the community section with my profile, et cetera, it comes up with my real name and I'd quite like it everywhere to be deianra but can't find any place where I can change this?

If that makes no sense absolutely, I mean when you click on a university to check the community. Anyhoo, this is a great site and my Personal Statement has been sent off today, after very useful help from Studential! :)

Hi Tom,

Just been updating the UEA profile, however when you click on the UEA page it still says there is no information posted? Although when you click on 'edit this section' it comes up with the stuff i've written...is this just because i'm down as a UEA student or because I haven't submitted it properly?

Also, how would I go about uploading a few pics that I have of UEA?

Cheers,

Sarah

hi
i want to delete my account
how can i do that?

I'v only recently decided to apply to British universities and am racing to figure out the whole UCAS system. I'v been stumped by the problem that is The Personal Statement. I must admit, in my race againt time, studential.com has been a most valuable resource, other sites leed you the "Visa or Mastercard?" question. That boils my blood.

Hi, this is the only web site that I found useful when I was writing my personal statement. You have no idea how much help I've gained from reading this site, I wrote my own unique personal statement and had successfully impressed the professors from my university. Thank you!

I really love Studential and I'm not saying it to suck, since the beginning of the year I've been using it for guidelines on my personal statement.

I'm from South Africa, and no I can't make you that international dish yet, but I've been writing tons of drafts for my personal statement and would appreciate it if you could read them since seeing your notes, I can tell that you know what you're talking about.

I'm applying independently, w/o help from teachers or anyone, so I feel like I might do something wrong...

Thank you...

Well im quite new to studential i hope to find it helpfull.From all ive read,i know it will.

It's a good idea that students will be having their own blogs or diaries. For best content about their blog they can also seek help to their
teacher .

Your site helped me as well as a handfull of my mates - great work. KEEP IT UP MAN.

English personal statement

From a very early age, I have always had an extremely vivid imagination, so I believe that my passion for writing stemmed from the fact that it became my outlet and allowed me the freedom to truly express myself. Growing up the subjects I wrote about vastly changed along with my subject preference in literature, from short stories about thrilling adventures as I ventured into the realms of Enid Blyton and The Famous Five, to magical stories after immersing myself into Roald Dahl’s fantasy world. I am also fascinated by the way that literature can influence people with its ability to make people think and expand their imaginations as books are open to the reader’s personal interpretation. I am an avid reader and I have read a wide selection of poetry and novels from different genres and periods however, I particularly enjoy nineteenth century poetry such as the work of Sylvia Plath, a few of my favourite poems written by her are ‘The Bee meeting’, ‘Morning Song’ and ‘Tulips’. The reason why I love these poems is because I believe that they truly highlight Plath’s own vulnerability and I think that they reflect the true influence that the English language can encompass on peoples emotions. For as long as I can remember, I have always viewed Helen Forrester as an exquisite author, and ever since reading her volumes of autobiography, I have thought of her as a huge inspiration to me as I believe that the way she writes about her tragic past experiences during World War 2, so humbly and without any bitterness or regret, truly helps me put my own life into perspective and realise how much I have to be thankful for.

I am aware that their are also many people in this world that don’t have many things to be thankful for, and for many years I have been dedicated to trying to change this. Throughout my school years I was a member of our Amnesty International group where we planned many fundraisers to try and raise money which would go towards helping to protect the human rights of people less fortunate than us, I also participated in various fundraising activities from ‘sponsored walks’ to ‘cake sales’ to raise money for various charities. I believe that my willingness and participation in these activities truly reflects my kind and giving nature. In School I also keenly participated in a Creative Writing course, I feel that I learnt a lot from this course, mainly how to reign in my emotions and feelings and then convey them through different forms of writing.

My choice of diverse subjects for A-level supported my aspirations to further my knowledge and understanding in all different aspects of education. Alongside English Literature and Language, I chose to study Biology because I wanted to learn about life itself, particularly the origin of the world. I think that studying the Sciences, absolutely compliments my study of English as my studies in the sciences acquainted with the facts and figures, whilst studying English meant that I dealt with rather more emotional topics. I am also extremely interested in the study of the society that we live in and also the effect that today’s Media has on the public, this led me to study Media Studies at A-level where I valuably learnt to analyse a variety of different texts and also to further my studies on the subject, I seized the opportunity to study AS Citizenship this year, which I find extremely interesting and thoroughly enjoy being given the chance to debate a matter, I particularly enjoy this as I believe that like English, the subject is open for peoples personal opinions and interpretations.

Outside of college, I take pleasure in a variety of pursuits. These include reading, writing, shopping, socialising with my friends and listening to music. I also enjoy photography as I believe that along with writing, it is another way to translate my emotions and feelings in a visible way that people can see and relate to. I also participate in a photography course whilst at college to pursue my passion.

I have never felt as passionate and enthusiastic about another subject, as I do for English. I have always been completely captivated by the subject and it is a great source of enjoyment to me, and this is why I want to take my passion to the next level and study English at degree level. I am eager to gain more knowledge and understanding on this wonderful subject and I truly believe that I would be a great asset to your university.

Today the world revolves around business, but in order to do well in this sector you have to achieve the right training and skills to be an affluent business person.
From an early age, I knew I wanted to become successful in life. This in turn influenced my passion for business studies. Business is a dynamic and challenging subject which I love; it has enabled me to develop a critical understanding of how organisations work.

Watching programmes like the apprentice and dragon’s den has showed me how competitive this industry is, and encourages me to aim higher so I can become a big time entrepreneur like Richard Branson one day. Seeing my mum working up the business ladder; from the bottom where she started up her own business in my grandma’s spare room, to finally opening her own hair and beauty salon that has now been lucratively running for less than ten years, has influenced how I feel about starting up my own business in the future. Having a part-time job in an established, privately owned retail company has given me more knowledge about working at different levels of a business. I see myself contributing to the growth of good business practice in a few years’ time and leading successful projects.

Despite having only picked up business at the A-level stage, my education has not only reinforced my ambitions but also given me the relevant knowledge to exceed most of my competition. Having chosen my A-level subjects with business in mind, textiles and sociology were my other options. Sociology is a very interesting subject which has a big impact on society and business pays a big role in society. Textiles is a creative and innovative subject that allows me to devise new ideas at a competitive level.

I have acknowledged the demanding requirements of university, yet I am ambitious to reach my full potential. I would describe myself as a reliable, honest and hardworking person, who is keen to gain skills to strengthen my status in the business world. I know it is going to be difficult yet I am up for the challenge

how do i add my personal statement on here

De lega lata and de lege ferenda is Latin for what the law is and what the law ought to be. These questions come into my head, many times. This passion for the law, started from an early stage of my life when in 1996 my brother was murdered and the defendant was convicted for the offence of manslaughter. It made me think about what the law is and how it works. I started to read and examine cases of a similar nature and why this man wasn‘t charged with a more serious offence of murder. However, the understanding and truth of the law came clear to me on why such cases like these occurred and why people are charged with particular offences instead of what we think the law ought to be. Even though it was a devastating time in my life, it also gave me direction and ambition to pursue a career in law. The passion went on further when I started to read books and watch documentaries on miscarriages of justice such as The Guildford four (which I found to be an inspiration) and about notorious serial killers.

At school, I did not have the opportunity to study law and at college, I decided to do business as at that time I thought that it would be a good career path for me. After leaving college with just a pass in my vocational a level in business, I knew that the only subject for me was law. In 2007, I became a single mum. Being a mum has given me many of the social skills and experiences I have achieved. It has made me more terminined that ever before. In 2008 I started doing an AS level in law. As a single mother, I was not able to go to college again to do these qualifications, so instead I attended evening school in order to be a mum as well as being a part-time student. I completed the course and did not achieve the grade I was capable of; this was due to the disappointment that the evening school not running the A2 & other family matters. As the A2 course did not run, I could not complete the A level. However, my knowledge and love of the subject has expanded as now I have other understandings of different concepts and stems of the law. Not only do I have broader knowledge of criminal law I also find law of tort fascinating and the procedures of the English legal system intriguing.
I decided to start an AS in Psychology while I waited for the evening school to run the A2 law. As soon as I started the course, I was hooked. I found it fascinating with all the theories and research studies into memory, with the multi-store model, attachments with Bowlby’s continuity hypothesis, conformity and obedience with Milgram and Zimbardo. It made me look at things in a completely different light, it also gave me some understanding of why people behaviour the way the do. With this I understood more about criminals and why some committed the crimes they did. Being a determined and so dedicated to my studies a completed the AS with a grade B and continuing to do well in the A2 with the core subjects of relationships and aggression. As well as doing my A2 in psychology I had the opportunity to start my A2 law but unfortunately the AQA specification had changed which meant my AS results were not valid. So now I am undertaking my AS and A2 law at the same time. I find this a challenge but I do enjoy and strive on this challenge and I am doing well in all three qualifications achieving Bs for all my law homework’s and activities.

I do not have that many hobbies as my spear time is taken up with being a parent and my studies, but I do enjoy rock climbing and go once a week. Rock climbing is a very challenging sport which you require inner strength and real determination. This sport has helped me face my fears, to be strong and to never give up it has given me a lot of confidence, which I had little of and now I have great confidence in public speaking and giving presentations.
A unique point I have is that I speak two languages fluently. Obviously, my first language is English but I can also read, write, speak and have an understanding of Spanish. With this I would like to expand my knowledge of international law as I think I can benefit from this.

Completing my A levels would be a goal achieved, one of many. The next goal in my life is going to university and completing a degree. As a self-motivated, hard working and dedicated in everything I put my mind to, I know I can gain the degree I have always wanted. In the future, I want to become a forensic psychologist, but I do want to expand my knowledge through the degree on Family and international law.

Please tell me your opinions about my pesonal statement for M.A graphc desgn.
I need your help

I first realized I wanted to pursue a career in landscape architecture during a trip to Europe in the eleventh grade. Barcelona, in particular, caught my attention with its pedestrian friendly layout, vibrant “La Ramble” and the easy access to parks, cathedrals, markets, and restaurants, on foot or by transit. As is the case with the atmosphere of most locations, it is never just one aspect that sets it apart, but the sum of all its components that makes that place special. Since that formative first trip I have returned to Europe again (Austria and the Czech Republic) and remain fascinated by its rich variety and the efficiency of its urban history. These experiences have persuaded me to constantly look at every aspect of the urban environment and ponder my potential contribution it.
My passion in life has always been to draw, and my background in visual arts has helped prepare me for the rigors of an MLA degree at the University of British Columbia. My concentration in drawing and photography has provided me with both the technical and artistic skills and insights to be able to excel in this program. Most of my undergraduate work has explored issues surrounding cognitive science, psychology, and philosophy of mind as they relate our objective and subjective realities. In many explorations, ethical and philosophical issues are raised surrounding societal conventions (laws, religion, moral panic) and how easily those conventions can spin out of control. In the realm of urban design and landscape architecture, I think it is important to address both the aesthetic and psychological needs of the population being served. Thus I feel these interests are helpful in addressing how people will interact with their immediate surroundings.
Besides visual arts I also have a diverse interest in geography, philosophy, climatology, music, exotic flora, and traveling. During my undergraduate degree I took twelve credits in philosophy of mind and now reflect upon the theories of David Chalmers, Daniel Dennett, and Hilary Putnam (among others) as source material for my artistic practice.
In terms of work experience, I have participated in, and organized, numerous gallery exhibitions, doing everything from judging applicants’ work, to promotions, to curating the shows. Additionally, my summer work experience in both irrigation and landscaping has given me an appreciation for, and understanding of, the labor, materials and technology that go into make every design a reality.
For me, the University of British Columbia presents the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of urban design, landscape urbanism and sustainable, green design. My primary interest is in green urban design and UBC has an excellent focus in this area. Daniel Roehr, with his participation in the “Greenskins Lab” as well as his focus on visual representation and fieldtrips abroad, make him a highly desirable professor to work with. Green building facades and roofs are one of the most intriguing and sustainable ways to improve air quality in cities. The fact that UBC has a significant research centre focused on such initiatives makes the SALA stand out among its peers. Susan Herrington is another professor of interest, specifically because of her interdisciplinary nature (architecture, environmental design, landscape architecture) and her research on the psychological effects of space. I hope to work with these and other faculty during my time at UBC.
As alluded to in my opening statement, I have a passion for travel and I expect that while at the SALA I will participate in either a year-long exchange program, study abroad summer course or international internship program.
Considering that more than half the world’s population now lives in cities, it will be up to the designers of the built environment to ensure that the results of this mass migration do not end in misery and catastrophe. I believe urban design and landscape architecture need to function as catalysts for a more sustainable urban framework, as well as an aesthetic end in and of themselves. Interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts with others should be encouraged to help facilitate greater unity, functionality and environmentalism in our cities. I intend to play my part in this urban revolution in several ways. After my MLA, subsequent internship years and LARE exam, I hope to pursue a PhD in Design or Urban Design. I then intend to start my own interdisciplinary design and creative firm merging landscape, planning, urban design, architecture, art, graphics, and furniture. The founding principals of such a practice would be environmental sustainability, pushing aesthetic boundaries and facilitating the ever-improving, holistic connection of people to their immediate surroundings: spaces designed for the population, not for the designer. I also intend to return to academia at some point to teach at the either the graduate or undergraduate level after a sufficient amount of professional experience and literary publications in the field.
While such a plan may seem both ambitious and subject to change, the basic premise of improving the human experience and our understanding of that experience is my unifying, grounding ambition. I find that our most tangible experiences are the physical and sensorial ones, and it is with this knowledge and ambition in mind that I intend pursue an MLA degree at the University of British Columbia.
