What is the best personal statement?
Your personal statement should share something about who you are, something that can’t be found in your resume or transcript.
- It should paint a picture for colleges to understand who we are and what we bring to the table.
- It should complement the other parts of your application.
What unis look for in a personal statement?
Tell the reader why you’re applying – include your ambitions, as well as what interests you about the subject, the course provider, and higher education. Think about what makes you suitable – this could be relevant experience, skills, or achievements you’ve gained from education, work, or other activities.
Can you submit different personal statements?
Students sometimes ask us whether or not they can submit different versions of the Common Application essay to different schools. So yes, you can absolutely change the essay, submit it to a school, change it, and submit it again.
Can you write two personal statements?
No, you only write one personal statement that all of your choices see. The same goes if you apply to further universities, or courses in Extra or Clearing.
Can you reuse your own personal statement?
You’ll need a new UCAS account, but you can reuse your personal statement – but make sure you update it to include anything that has changed since your last application. Some universities also have courses starting in January, which you normally apply for directly rather than through UCAS.

How do I apply using Clearing?
- Ask for advice. Talk to an adviser at your school, college, centre, or careers office – they can talk you through alternative courses/subjects.
- See what courses are available.
- Talk to any unis or colleges you’re interested in.
- Add your Clearing choice in Track.
How long does a clearing decision take?
Most of the Clearing process happens over the phone – it’s only the last step that requires a Clearing number and the ‘Add a Clearing Choice’ button on UCAS Track. If you had to be released by either your firm or insurance, you will need to wait for confirmation that this has been done, which may take up to 2 weeks.
