I need help with my UCAS form. I've been putting it off for the past 3 months, and I really have to get it sent off.

Help me, please.

What bit are you stuck on?

[hollikins]

I've filled in most sections except the course choices, personal statement and I don't have a reference yet.

It's the personal statement that's getting me :S

[katums]

You'll be fine, the personal statement is the easiest bit. Just sell yourself like a bitch. Are you the first in your family to go to university?

What courses have you put down to do? I'm sick of my course, mainly because I have an infant development test, it's a bit of a pain in the arse.

English with Creative Writing. :p Hehe.

I've finally written it, yay! I've gotta go see Goffik on thursday for a reference! :S

I think the above gave the best advice: self yourself like mad! Exaggerate everything you've ever done (positive things mind you!) and you'll be fine. Everybody does it. Best of luck to you.

I would help, only my UCAS form form last year is buried in my wardrobe as I've given up on that dream & have no idea what to advise. :D

[hollikins]

Thanks for the advice :)

I've written it now, yay! It's shite, but hopefully I'm gonna get it proof read today. I have to go and see the head of 6th from, meeep! Scary woman she is!

"self yourself like mad!" - oh, dear. I did mean 'sell' but I'm sure you guessed that :p

Yay for the completing and more Good Luck for the meeting with the scary woman :)

E-mail me your personal statement at sastrugi@gmail.com and I'll see what magick I can work ;) Otherwise, am always around, brandishing a red pen, and waiting for our coffee date!

Good luck with it x

Tell them you have no standards, no morals, and give blow jobs for free

[hollikins]

Hmm... that aint a bad idea.

[ostego_undead]

You know me...I'm just full of ideas
