Hi Ursula and All
Personal Statements are an essential component of applying to Third Level for mature students as well. As 'other' applicants they need to complete the last section of the CAO form and how they fill it in can make a difference as to whether they are called for interview or not. A number of colleges also require mature applicants to complete their own individual application forms as well and these demand a personal statement type section be completed as well.
