About this title

Synopsis

About the Book

Your UCAS Personal Statement can cause you nightmares. You have to show who you are, you have to show your skills, you have to show why you're better than all of the other applicants, and you have to get it all under 4000 characters. Just uttering the words "Personal Statement" can cause quivers of fear and dread. Yet, it doesn't have to be this way.

With planning and preparation, research and structure, it is 100% possible to write a winning Personal Statement that puts you at the top of the applicants pile.

The Personal Statement Method is your guide and mentor to take you from your first thoughts about what to write, to submitting your polished and pristine application.

Following it step by step, The Personal Statement Method will help you to craft a Personal Statement that admissions officers fight over, yet without the stress and fuss on your part.

It's time to stop procrastinating. It's time to start preparing. It's time to write your Personal Statement.

The Personal Statement Method: The Fuss-Free Guide to Writing a Successful UCAS Personal Statement will make structuring and organising your Personal Statement a breeze. Following the 5 Steps, you'll be able to produce a UCAS Personal Statment that is clear, focused, insightful and perfectly tailored to your application. The Personal Statement Method is there to take you from an average candidate, to one that truly stands out in the minds of admissions officers.

Each chapter brings you a new step in your journey to Personal Statement success

Step 1: Understanding Your Course - This chapter will help you to uncover not just what admissions officers are looking for in general, but what the admissions officers at your university and for your course are looking for. Starting here, you'll be able to tailor your Personal Statement to their exact needs.
Step 2: Organising Your Experiences - From Personal Statement structure to choosing and planning the examples that you'll use to illustrate your ideas. This is where you provide the evidence to show that you're the best applicant.
Step 3: Reflections - Where you go from average, to next level. Using the Authenticity Questions in this chapter will help you to think critically about your activities and experiences over the past few years and bring interesting and relevant insights to your Personal Statement.
Step 4: Writing the Statement - Putting it all together. Introductions, conclusions, what to do, what to avoid, structuring paragraphs...everything you need to get your first draft onto the page.
Step 5: Editing - Taking your Personal Statement from first draft to final version and submission. Ideas to add sparkle to your language, quick tips and tricks to fix any spelling or grammar slips, and guidance on getting it checked. After Step 5, you'll be ready to submit to UCAS.

Inside the book you will also find:

Each chapter laden with genuine examples from past successful students.
11 complete Personal Statement examples from a broad range of subjects.
Worksheets for each chapter, to help you plan and organise your ideas as you work through the book.
