Personal Statements...

[Fom]

Im gonna find out about these on Monday but im inpatient and want to know now.
What time of the year are personal statements ususally in for, im guessing end of October? I havent even started drafting mine yet... but no one even told me too until the other day. When do applications have to be in for uni?

Im well confused about it all, dreading all this uni jazz... My old college was rubbish at this stuff and now that ive transfered to a new college Im apparently really behind. Anyone who has been through it before want to shed some light?

Well in Scotland end of October is normally for Oxbridge, everywhere else I think is like January or something.. I'm in the same boat Fom, I've got to start writing mine, I really can't be assed though haha

My tutor said November. Best to make sure with your own college though.

Oxbridge have to be earlyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
my College started their personal statements for Upper 6th a week ago.

Oxbridge, Med, Vet and Teeth courses are for 26th Sep, all others about mid October I hear.

my teacher said that application should be in by end of october for uni but as i want to go to film school i think its january as most film schools i have looked at are still looking for people to start this year.... im dreading my personal statement casue mine needs to be 100% perfect as my gcses arent that great and apparently if your PS is great they will except

I'm applying to Drama school AND uni... so I am assuming Drama school will follow the same rules? Its just as hard to get into...

Oh its all very confusing! I dont fancy writing a personal statement =/

Explain why skills in other subjects/extra curricular things will help you in the course you're applying for. Try and do this often.
