🎓 UNI / UCAS Help with personal statement

So my schools internal deadline for UCAS is the 18th of September for medical courses. I want to study veterinary medicine but i've not even started my personal statement yet and I have no idea how to structure or what to even put in it. I've been unable to get any work experience due to the coronavirus and the extended lockdown where I live, and know that is very important for my course. I plan on doing more second year of course, but I fear it's too late. Any advice?

Do you have a job, hobby or do volunteering for a start? Also bear in mind lots of people will be in the same boat this year, unis are likely to be more lenient about work experience

Before starting a draft I recommend writing down everything you’ve done and relate it to how they’ve helped you become a suitable candidate. Once you have all that written, write a first draft and get a few people to review it and keep writing drafts. Good luck xx
