Hi everyone thanks for sharing many of your personal statements. I know how difficult they are to do. I have got a personal statement whicearh got me an interview last year. I did not pass the interview. I am now changing some areas of my statement as I have done more voluntary work with midwives and have kept myself in education. I am so worried my personal statement is not so academically written but it worked last year to give you a chance to try and prove yourself.
