Does your school need help with personal statements?

How does it work?

Each of our services provides a comprehensive critique and edited version of an individual UCAS personal statement.

We’ll ask your school to upload each personal statement along with other relevant information about each university application, and within 5 days, we’ll return each statement fully edited, with a report detailing the improvements we’ve made.

What’s included in the editing process?

Each personal statement we receive is carefully reviewed against a number of criteria designed to ensure each pupil is presented to admissions tutors in the best possible light. From fixing single spelling mistakes to rewording whole sections, we will critique, edit and polish each line of all personal statements submitted in your chosen package.

Our editors will apply the same techniques used to edit books, newspaper articles and printed publications. These include:

• Correct any spelling and grammar issues
• Fix the misuse of punctuation and capitalisation
• Reword poorly structured sentences
• Prune unnecessary words and over-long sentences
• Ensure a consistent style and ‘voice’ is used throughout each statement
• Check paragraphs flow together cleanly and the statement works as a whole

Our editors will also focus on issues specific to writing UCAS undergraduate personal statements:

• Show pupils how to write a memorable introduction
• Ensure all topics for discussion have been adequately covered
• Check the correct proportion of the statement has been dedicated to each topic
• Help pupils articulate their strengths and skills to sell them to the reader
• Remove references to potential weaknesses or topics to avoid
• Help pupils round off their statement with a solid conclusion

What do we include with your order?

Once we’ve finished editing all personal statements submitted in the package, we will email you each completed statement along with a report detailing what changes we’ve made to it and why.

The report will contain the following sections to help each pupil fully understand all of our changes:

• A detailed critique of the existing personal statement
• A summary of the strengths and weaknesses
• A list of the improvements we’ve made and the reasons for doing so
• Recommendations for other areas of improvement
