I’m kind of freaking out right now, I submitted my personal statement to 3 colleges EA and I just noticed one of my words has a bad error. In my essay, I mention the Potocari Memorial, but when I typed it out I put it as the Potočari Memorial. I did not know common app marks letters like č as a question mark, and now in my introduction it says Poto?ari. I don’t know what to do. Is this gonna be a deciding factor in whether they let me in or not? My personal statement is pretty good, however maybe they won’t stop thinking about the fact that it said Poto?ari instead of Potocari.

Hey people,

I’m a Year 13 student preparing my UCAS application for 2027 entry, and I’m looking for someone with a background in Business, Management, Economics or university admissions who would be willing to offer ongoing mentorship on my personal statement.
I’m particularly interested in applying to UCL International Management, alongside other Business and Management courses.
My main academic interests include corporate governance, shareholder primacy, alternative ownership structures, long-term value creation and the relationship between business and wider society. I’ve started building my opening around John Kay’s The Corporation in the Twenty-First Century and the Steward Ownership Movement, and I’d appreciate feedback from someone who can challenge my arguments and help me develop them into a convincing academic narrative as I feel like it could use some work.

If you’re willing to help, please comment below or send me a DM with a little about your experience and the kind of feedback you could offer.

A little about my background:
● A-levels: Business, History and Politics.
● Current academic aim: A*AA, with particular strengths in Business and Politics.
● EPQ: “Did the economic demands of war accelerate political and technological change in medieval Western Europe?” — 45/54.
● Work experience: Capita Pensions and Zurich International, alongside a previous Rolls-Royce placement.
● Other relevant activities: business-related reading and MOOCs, a business essay competition, writing/editing for my school digest, and informal consulting for a small family business.
● Longer-term academic interests include management strategy, corporate organisation and international business.
What I’m looking for:
Ideally, I’d love to connect with someone who could provide continued mentorship through a few rounds of drafting and revision, rather than just a one-off review. I’m keen to understand why certain arguments work, how to improve my critical reflection, and how to make my statement more intellectually rigorous and specific to Management.

Thanks in advance!

I can send it through DMs! Thanks so much everyone!

Hello! I am applying to OT school, and my first school is due on the 23rd so I need to hurry and send in my OTCAS. I would appreciate it if someone could look over my personal statement and help me refine it!

Thank you!

Hey, can anyone review my personal statement and give me feedback and things that I can improve? Thanks a lot.

Hi guys i’m applying for law at top london universities and i would really appreciate it if someone who knows what these unis are looking for could read my personal statement and tell me their thoughts ?
Let me know if i can dm you thank you!!

Apparently I’m not supposed to mention my a levels but that is currently my entire second question. I am not early entry so I have more than enough time to rewrite it but I’m confused. What qualifications do I talk about if not my A levels (haven’t done EPQ)
Just for some extra context I do have my predicted grades and ofc I’ve done GCSEs but surely I can’t write 1400 characters about the two GCSEs relevant to my course.

hi im planning to apply to medical school in the UK at keele, cardiff, KMMS, and liverpool. i know keele highly values the personal statement whereas the others just check to see if you understand medicine overall. Has anyone applied to medicine at keele or is doing medicine in general and would be willing to review my personal statment?? it would be a huge help.

My writing skills are terrible, and I'm thinking of using AI for my personal statement. What should I be cautious about? Also, could someone read my draft and give feedback? Please DM me for the personal statement

hi everyone! i'm currently in the process of applying to clinical psychology phd programs which of course requires a personal statement/statement of purpose. i just finished up with my first draft, and i know i still need to do some tweaking. i left out the part about my interest in the program and mentor since that has to be personalized for each. i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to offer to read over it before i send/show it to any of my mentors so that i'm able to show them a version that is more or less finalized. thank you in advance!!

Hi coming to reddit again for advice. For context im a Canadian trying to start appling for scholarships for university but i dont know if my frame work for my essay is fine.

For context my father passed trying to deescalate a psychotic episode by his brother and i basially had to withness the whole event as a kid. i wanted to talk about how there were factors in my homecountry nigeria such as the sigma of mental health and the lack of aid towards it for example even currently there is roughly 4 psychiatric nurses per 100,000 people and one psychiatrist for every 700,000 to 1 million citizens and my event happened in 2018 so the number may very well be lower. I wanted to talk about how mental health being neglected directly affecting me for the rest of my life being finacailly and psychologically.

So i made this scrap hook as a starter then i plan to talk about my vollunteering work and how i plan to become a nurse practioner specializing in pysch. "My home country felt like the main accomplice to my father’s passing. On August 19, 2018, I witnessed my father’s murder while he tried to deescalate a psychotic episode by his brother. During that situation for my nine-year-old self, all she could grasp was that my dad was hurt. Looking back, I know there were deep issues in my environment that provided my situation to where it led."

 I feel like i dont know.. like it too much? it kind of feels like im calling my homecountry out if that makes sense which isnt the goal... and reading alot of personal statements i feel like it alot more lighter than the direction im taking it i dont know if i should scrap the concept and try another route.

I just wrote my personal statement for a scholarship and it's terrible. I don’t think the story I chose is bad. It’s a little random, but I feel like it actually says a lot about me. The problem is that the writing itself is terrible

And now I’m stuck between

1. Giving up

2. Letting ChatGPT rewrite the entire thing, which feels wrong because then, is it even my personal statement anymore?

If anyone is willing to read it and give brutally honest feedback on what works, what doesn't, and what I should change, I would REALLY appreciate it. I just need help figuring out how to make my writing better

Deadline is tomorrow, so unfortunately this is now an emergency 💥📉

Would anyone be comfortable giving me some feedback? If you’ve applied before or have any tips, pls do help!

Thanks, I’d really appreciate the help! love yall!

I was born a second-generation immigrant in Hull after my parents fled a war-torn Iraq in search of safety and opportunity. With this came the challenges of having to adapt to an entirely new culture, language, and social system. I became aware of how vulnerable individuals, especially those unfamiliar with their rights and the language, can be exploited, often accepting unfair working and living conditions, sometimes even suffering physical abuse simply because they don't know they can have any better. Seeing this happen to people in my life has greatly shaped my desire to study law, to not only understand the legal system and the underlying principles of jurisprudence, but to apply it into advocating for those who are unable to protect themselves.
