IF YOU HAVE NOT YET MADE A START ON YOUR APPLICATION DON'T WORRY-YOU STILL HAVE TIME!

THESE TIPS MIGHT HELP:

PERSONAL STATEMENT:Starting to write it is a stumbling block for many. Try:

  • Making notes of all the important areas, such as why you want to study that subject and how your experiences and achievements mean you would be suited to it
  • Think how you are going to make yourself stand out
  • Set aside a specific time each day to work on it
  • Write a first draft and get someone to look at and then keep re-working the drafts until you are happy with it
  • Lots of help and advice on-line. Try the 'Which University' website

WHICH UNIVERSITY TO CHOOSE-If you have more than 5 choices you are considering. 

  • Weigh up all the pros and cons and use some of the comparison websites
  • If you have visited the university you are considering, how did you feel when you were there?
  • Talk to other people about it but make your own decisions
  • Go with your gut instinct
  • Don't forget you have to be completely happy going to any of your 5 choices
  • Don't worry if you didn't get a chance to visit, as if you get an offer you will be invited to an applicant visit day

FINALLY-DON'T PUT IT OFF ANY LONGER-START TODAY!
