Personal statements
Location: Homepage/Personal statements
These Ucas personal statements can be used as examples to give you an idea of how to write and structure your own. Choose a category from the list below to see snippets of personal statements for that subject.
Don't copy chunks from them or plagiarise them directly. Apart from possibly loosing your place at university, it's just nasty. If you are having problems writing yours use the personal statement guide rather than ripping of somebody else's work.
Some personal statements have been donated anonymously, but for others, the author has offered more information about themselves, such as what universities and courses they applied for, and whether they were made an offer. Use this information to give you an idea of the sort of things which get people accepted to top universities.
If you find the personal statements listed here useful, please consider donating your personal statement to Studential to help others in the same way. If you don't want to do that, at least leave a comment at the bottom of the page.
