Reach Edinburgh Online Personal Statement Workshop 2020
In this session, we cover the basics of writing a UCAS personal statement. We explore the different topics to cover in a Personal Statement for medicine and also look at some example extracts. We discuss the stronger and weaker elements of these extracts. You can download a copy of the extracts from the 'attachments' tab. As well as this, we help you get started on your own personal statement using our Personal Statement guide, which you can also download from the 'attachments' tab. This is an electronic PDF document, and you should be able to fill in the document on your PC (NOTE you may need to download Adobe reader to use this function).
A copy of the slides for the session are also available on the 'attachments' tab.
