Hi guys I am all ready to put my application in for sept 2009 entry - even my personal statement is done! I just wondered when is the best time to send it off, I thought asap would be best in September but people have told me to wait a bit, the problem is I dont 100% trust these people as I think they are jealous that I am applying to uni in the first place as they are all stuck in dead end jobs with no way out! I know I can trust answers from you guys!!

I was just gonna say they didnt open till sept but you seem to know that !!!
If it is completely ready ( do please check it again) then there is no reason why yours cant be the top of the pile !!!
It does however mean you will have along time to wait from when you first submitted it to getting a repl but it will be done and out of the way. I am gonna start my p statement soon will poss just reword last years a bit !!!

This is too technical ......

Applications usually open aroudn 15th ish of September. I do believe the earlier you send it, the better with most unis. I was panicking as we didn't mange to get ours off til the last week in October but I still got 4 interviews out of 4! It also meant the wait between application going in and receiving interview dates was a little shorter than those waiting from the start of applications!

Word of advice... check, double check, tripple check and get someone else to check before you send it off!

I totally agree with the check, check and check again advice!

I would also send it as soon as you can. Why wait?

Thanks for all the advice guys. I think everyone is sick of me asking them to look through my personal statement but I want it to be perfect as it will mean the difference between getting an interview or not.

Good luck with the whole application process its along road but well and truly worth it when you find out you have been offered one of the very few places available.

which uni's have you applied to as I have noticed where your from. if you plan on applying to
Chester
LJMU
then I would make sure you try and put in something in your PS about the role of a Midwife, as this is what stopped alot of people being offered interviews this year. Hope this has helped and not confused you claire. x x
