Showing personal statement examples

Welcome to the ucaspersonalstatement.com website

Showing

You need to demonstrate that you show the events in your life rather than tell them.

Bad Example: " I am good at maths."

Good Example: "From an early age calculations have naturally always been easy for me. My first position, when I was a young boy was in a cake shop. At the end of my shift I added up the till each day - which only improved my problem solving skills."

Notice the difference between the two examples above? The good example clearly demonstrates that the student has experience of maths in a work place.

You need to show and not just tell to make you UCAS personal statement stand out.
