personal statement

[charlieboy]

in the process of re-doing mine, but was just wondering, is it worth putting anything about why you chose the subjects you did at AS/A - levels?

or just replace it with more info about intrests related to the course being applyed for?

need to do mine aswell

Found out today that everythin needs to be done by thursday.

****in teachers do my head in.
They said that we were told this 4 weeks ago and have had all that time to do it.
******** were we told this. But nooo, we were told this because the teachers are always right
I wasnt even told anything because they make me go to a different college for the other course im taking and they were sorting everything out while I was at the other college. Nice to know they inform me of important information.

Dr Watling, don't worry, that's just a "in school" deadline and can be ignored - although it's best to get it sorted ASAP. The Oxbridge/medics/vets dadline has only just past so only a small number of people have completed their UCAS forms.

Charlie, the PS is a very personal thing, I would definitely advise focusing on you rather than telling the tutor what their course has. You can focus on yourself and show that.

ok, so my course is automotive engineering, i need to tell them about my enthusiasm involving cars and working on/with them?

and the skills i have for using CAD/CAM programmes!?

IMO they not only want to know what you CAN do but a willingness to learn in the future. I could do a **** load before I went to uni - my ability to learn was lower than I thought.

Infact, Charlie, go to www.thestudentroom.co.uk and look for the PS section and I believe a group of people will give you advice
