Personal Statement writing resources
UCAS application deadline is 31st of January and while some of our students have submitted their UK application already, the majority of our students are currently working on their personal statement. This is a friendly reminder for the community to check out the Unifrog resources on Personal statement such as How to write your personal statement like a boss and past webinar recordings: How to ace your personal statement and Personal Statement Writing (links accessible ONLY from the student’s Unifrog Profile).
Furthermore please check out this personal statement resource with questionnaire tools and analysed examples, courtesy of University of Essex.
The Guidance Office operates as per the H-IS school calendar and in case you are planning to submit applications during the winter break and do need school documents for this purpose, please make sure you fill out the Document Request form this week so that we have time to produce the documents next week before the closure date of 20th December.
Wishing our community a wonderful winter break and a Happy New Year!
