  1. Hi Ursula
    this blog has very good guidelines for preparing a personal statement. In a PS I try to explain what is motivating me to apply for the course, and show that I understand what's involved in the course and the commitment required. I try to demonstrate that I am right for the course, the course is right for me, and that it fits an overall plan that I have thought through.

  2. It would be great if the English teacher in the school would also be familiar with the requirements of the personal statement. A lesson on how to write one correctly would be an advantage to students. That would be real cross curricular learning
