University Personal Statement

[Lights]

Has anyone done one? I've done 2 paragraphs and I don't knwo what else to put. I have barely any work experience but should I still add it?

I've mentioned education, reasons for the course and that I did 40 hours at a leeds met university making a website

should I add work experience or interests, or carry on with education or whatever

Talk about yourself where you see yourself

Liam, if you wasn't my friend, I'd disown you for being useless.

WHY YOU CHOSE THIS COURSE

[Lights]

:l I ALREADY SAID ALL THAT

what do I say after !

[Kyle]

where you hope the degree will take u, areas of it that appeal to u, your hobbies, things u have achieved

[Red]

I would do education, reasons for the course, what you do inside school, work experience and what you do outside.

[Lights]

I added interests, hobbies etc but still its only 474 words and just over half a page, it seems like I am missing something

Is there any point in adding work experience, although I only did a week of it?

I can still add where i hope the degree will take me... but still.

[Kyle]

just write more on those topics. ~800 words per topic =]

[Red]

Yea the more you do the better Dan. Put it in. How long does it even have to be? When I was doing it we were really constrained with a word limit? I had to cut so much stuff. :S

[Lights]

4000 characters or 47 lines is the limit

I have 2100 characters and 30 odd lines ¬.¬

[Kyle]

4k characters max. i believe

tbh, just keep it as it is. If you feel you have more to add to it then you can do it later. You've done enough.

[Lights]

I think i'll add one more paragraph to it, I thnk i know what to say, then I'm done, I'll hand it in at college for them to read and give me any improvements they feel is neccasary.

[Recursion]

Seriously, it's early days, in a month or so you'll be trying to cut crap out that you want to keep to get it within the limits :P
