How important is my personal statement, in the post age of Coronavirus?

How can I make sure my statement stands out?

What is more, or less, important to include in a personal statement has always been a debated topic. What is clear, however, is that a combination of your academic and extracurricular skills, as well as communicating how you, as a student, will contribute positively to University life, is almost always the best way to go. Your experiences are unique to you, and you should be proud and pleased to talk about them!

How much detail is required for a good personal statement?

The more detail you are able to provide, the more detail our writers will be able to include in your personal statement. Not sure of what you should be including? No problem — every personal statement ordered will come with a questionnaire. Simply fill in the relevant details, and leave the rest to us.

Are my extracurricular interests important?

The University experience is about more than pure academics; the opportunities to join societies, experience a new city or area, socialise, or even represent your University in a sport or venture, cannot be overlooked, and are viewed by many as an essential part of University life. Your University will want to know about everything you’re planning on throwing into life at their institution; certainly don’t be afraid to talk about your interests!

What if I’ve already written my statement?

Congratulations — the hard part’s done! Our writers are experienced with all stages of personal statement, from the composition, to the re-write, or a critical edit. If you’ve already written your statement, and just want it proofread; if you’re over the character count, and need help cutting out the nonessentials; or if you need an entire re-draft completed, our bespoke service allows for whatever requirements your statement has.

Do you only provide personal statements?

Not at all! Our writers pride themselves on their expertise across a variety of academic and employment-related fields, frequently completing drafts and re-writes of CVs and cover letters, as well as providing proofreading services for references, and letters of recommendation.

What are the different personal statement services you provide?

Our bespoke service for personal statements is split into three different categories, depending on what it is you need. Our ‘Gold’ service tackles pre-existing statements, focusing on editing and refinement. Our ‘Platinum’ service will guarantee you a statement written and edited in full, in line with the information you provide. Finally, our ‘Oxbridge’ or ‘Elite’ service guarantees you a full statement, written to Oxbridge standards, and a week of unlimited editing, ensuring you are fully satisfied with the finished product. If you are applying for Oxbridge, Medicine, Dentistry or any other course requiring a competitive personal statement this is the service for you to ensure a successful application. We also suggest upgrading to a Senior Writing Specialist or Director for the most competitive courses.

How much will it cost?

Our different ‘bands’ come with different price tags, each designed to be good value for money, in terms of the service provided. Our ‘Platinum’ service, for example, is priced at £109 — over £30 cheaper than the national average for similar services. But our most elite service the ‘Oxbridge’ service starts at £169.99 and can be used for all applications.

Will I have a chance to review my statement?

Absolutely; depending on the package you choose, you are entitled to either a one-off edit, following your feedback (‘Gold’), or a week’s worth of unlimited edits, until the finished article is exactly as required (‘Platinum’).
