University specific personal statements

Many applicants who were kind enough to donate their personal statement to our library have supplied the details of the universities they applied to and whether they were offered a place or not. You can browse our selection of university specific personal statements for your chosen universities and view statements from applicants who applied there.

Please do remember that there's more to the university application than just the personal statement, so your grades, references and any interviews you attend or written work you submit will all be considered as part of your application. There's plenty more information on all of these topics in our applying to university section.
