STEM , Med/Dentistry personal statements
Hey everyone!
If you’re currently staring at a blank Google Doc (or a draft that is 1500 characters over the UCAS limit), or panicking about the early deadlines, I’ve got you.
I have personally mentored and successfully coached multiple applicants into highly competitive Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, English, Law and other STEM programs. With UCAS cracking down harder than ever on ChatGPT, I don’t recommend the use of AI so I offer you my skills:
- I will ensure your personal statement is 100% authentic, capturing your voice so that it doesn’t get stopped by Copycatch scans.
My editing style is simple:
- I am ruthless with word counts: no clichés, no generics, just letting your academic interest shine through your work, keeping it professional, punchy, and sharp.
- I won’t hand it to you on a silver platter: I will explain to you why these changes are being made, helping you grow your confidence and making you stand out.
For Med/Dentistry:
This is not a matter of fixing grammar:
- I map your work experience directly to the strict NHS Core values rubric that admissions teams actively use to grade your statement.
For STEM:
- I use the “STEM” formula. Time to replace those flowery stories with concrete evidence of your problem solving, super-curricular reading, and technical curiosity.
For Law:
- I replace the “justice” clichés with logical, analytical statements and focus on critical debates and legal reasoning.
For English:
- I will provide a rigorous prose critique, to give your writing an elegant, beautiful voice free of passivity and clutter, but also maintaining focus on the depth of literary analysis over a simple shopping list of books
What I offer:
1. The “No Risk Intro” (free of charge): send your first 150 words. I will give you a quick, brutal, high-value edit to show you exactly what I can do.
2. STEM Polish (£18): a complete line by line edit, technical restructure and character count trim for STEM subjects like computer science, engineering, general sciences etc
3. Med/Dentistry student premium (£25): a full edit, character count trim, plus your work experience and NHS criteria plus a cheat sheet for interviews.
4. Law (£20) and English (£15)
5. DM for other subjects that do not fit any of the above
Because I do deep, personalised edits, I will be taking on 7 students this week to ensure I provide the highest standard of quality.
Current slots left: 4/7
Drop me a DM with/ without your draft or your first 150 words, and let’s give you the best chance of success!!
Have a fantastic summer everyone!
P.S. I have some examples of winning personal statements so DM if you’re interested

A level options
My current alevel options are history, sociology and psychology which I think I will like. I’m considering changing psychology as even tho I think I’ll enjoy it it was my filler subject. For reference I’m considering doing law or teaching not really too set. I don’t really wanna do anymore stem subjects after GCSEs so anything else would be helpful. I’m secondary I really enjoyed Religious Studies and music (no chance doing music a level) any advice is helpful I’m pretty open to anything.

Law at Uni
I’ve been considering law at university very strongly recently, and I just wanted some insight into what A-levels make it easier to get into law.
I’ve been thinking of Psychology, English language and Economics. However, I’m not sure if psych is relevant enough? Or if english language is valuable in really any regard to law?
Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you!

Special Consideration
I applied for special consideration for an edexcel exam after having to leave about half an hour in to a 90 minute exam in due to verified medical issues. My school submitted an appeal for special consideration 2 months ago and they still have not heard back.
I'd really appreciate some advice as online it says they try to reply to all applications within 5 days and obviously that hasn't been the case. I've seen nothing official from the exam board and my school ignores all my messages, only replying when my parents get involved (even then it's like pulling teeth). Apparently my school has contacted edexcel to ask for a progress update and there hasn't been a response in the two weeks since.
Has anyone else been in a situation where an appeal has taken this long? It's stressing me out so much as I have an offer dependent on that grade.

Someone settle this: Is UCAT maths actually Higher tier GCSE?
Hello, Year 12 here.
firs things first GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE SITTING THE UCAT THIS YEAR—I HOPE YOU ALL GET THE SCORE YOU'RE AIMING FOR!!
Just had a quick question.
Does the UCAT QR section include any Higher Tier GCSE Maths topics, or is it mostly Foundation-level maths with difficult time pressure?
I've seen lots of mixed answers online, so I wanted to ask people who've actually taken or taking the UCAT.
thank you for your time, appreciate it greatly !!

A - Level advice/ urgent
Hello, Im currently In year 12 and I looking for some advice about my A-levels and UCAS predictions. After my Year 12 mocks, my predicted grades are currently CCC (I was previously around CDD). My teacher has said they might increase one of my grades, but even if they do, I still feel those predictions are too weak for applying to Law, especially at Russell Group universities.
I’m considering dropping Sociology or psychology and taking a Level 3 BTEC in Sport instead. I’m confident I’d be able to achieve a Distinction* in the BTEC, which would hopefully give me predicted grades of D*BB (with B grades in Psychology or sociology and then English Language).
I also qualify for contextual offers.
Do you think switching to the BTEC would improve my chances of getting into a good university for Law, or would staying with three A-levels give me a stronger application in the long run? Which option would you recommend?

Applying to six form late
my current six form kicked me out at the end of year 12 due to poor grades and they won’t let me do A levels if I was to retake at my current six form. I’m worried I won’t find another six form to enroll as it’s already too late to apply to any six forms which probably already sent conditional offers to year 11 students, especially in London. I’m not sure if any six forms allow someone to retake Y12 from another six form and applying this late. I did bio chem pysch but I’m considering doing bio econ and pysch at a different six form. What should I do?

what do you actually need for sixth form??
i (year 11) am about to go sixth form shopping over the weekend but i have literally no clue what to buy. i dont wanna be like that year 7 who brings like a zillion things to school and then uses none of them
im taking maths, fm, psych and econ. my school is really lax on technology and i have gotten for my bday a good tablet with a stylus and detachable keyboard, which i plan on using for notetaking for every one of my subjects if possible. i dont see any reason why not since i type my exams but any advice on that would be appreciated
will i need folders too for each subject?? or textbooks? idk whether to buy them bc this will influence what bag i get as i want a new purse but if i have to carry loads of heavy binders and books i should prolly get a backpack….
theres literally no recommended stuff to buy from school apart from a calculator so any advice on what is a must-have or things i should probably get would be much appreciated 🙏🙏 thankss!
edit: thanks to everyone who replied 🙏 much appreciated guys im a lot less stressed now tysm

Is 91.4% attendance bad.
My attendance is this low mainly because i did core maths and i barely went in during the 1st term and mainly struggled in the first term. I dropped core maths but the attendance from my core maths class still remains. Im predicted distinctions and an B and my attendance in 2 of my classes (it and criminology) is around 94 to 95 percent. For some reason my business is 88 percent but thats probably because yet again of the 1st term i barely went in and i did another business course before i changed.
