It’s now 02:18 in the morning and I am pleased to say I have finished my first draft of my personal statement! However, the bad news is, originally it was 2677 characters over the limit UCAS specify (4000 characters or 47 lines). I have spent a good few hours this evening giving it a good jiggle and poke around and have managed to shave off about 1150 characters.
I am majorly pleased with myself, however, as I beaten the beast of procrastination and have something tangible I can work with when I start my UCAS application in a few weeks time!
Hopefully with a little TLC and a few helpful eyes reading it over with me, I can get it polished enough to send in!
Keep your fingers crossed for me!
