    When you say "offers," does that mean that you apply to a school, then they respond with their financial aid offer?

    No, I dunno how much of how it works in England, so sorry if I'm explaining stuff you already know:

    Here, we can only apply to 5 universities, and you have to match their criteria (Like ABB) and then if they like your application, with your personal statement and references and previous grades and predicted grades, they email you with an offer to go to their Uni. shifty



    I don't think there is any financial aid offers, apart from the student loan and stuff haha

    Edit: Basically they offered me a place at the Uni.

    Yeah, but the earlier, the better as they only have a limited amount of offers, so it's easier to get offers earlier on.

    It depends what you mean by you've not signed up yet, and how efficient you are. shifty

    It took me like a month and a half of seeing my tutor twice a week to write my personal statement and get it to a point good enough for her to be happy. (That's probably just cos my tutor was really nitpicking.) It doesn't take long to fill out the application form if you have all the details with you, like your previous results and stuff.

    Crump didn't seem to take that long though, so maybe I just took ages

    I'm not boasting here, but it's quite simple Maestro, and if you've got some savvy you can do it easy.

    I don't know why people shit themselves over a personal statement, I just googled tips, wrote a 2 page statement, gave it to my tutor to cut down. Shortened it, add fancied words, bigged myself up and she said I've got a really well done statement.

    It took probably 30 days from deciding I'm going to University, pick choices, apply and send it off.

    I warn you, the education section to fill out qualificaitons is a massive ball ache.

    Cam yours is easily better than mine, but you should have included stuff about how you'll cope at university and more about a social life showing you're engaging. They just want someone who follows instructions, won't kick up a fuss and hands them money tbh

    Do people get offers on the weekend? I don't want to wait until Monday if I get another one.

    Yeah Cam yours is great, but you talked ALOT about the subject tbh shifty

    I put in how I have social skills, being able to adapt to different environments quickly and alot more about extra-cirrucular. They love that shit.

    Yours is great though, you'll be fine.

    Why do so many people use 'ALOT'? Laughing

    You do know it's not a word Crump?

    PS. This is not me saying anybody is stupid, simply asking have you not been taught in English there is no such word?

    True. You definitely ticked that box Laughing

    I put in like:

    Quote - About me

    Why I want to go.

    Why I made this choice.

    Personal achievements.

    Extra-cirrucular

    Personal Skills.

    Finishing paragraph.

    To be, or not to be. Those words were ringing in my head as I was searching the UCAS website to find my destiny. I find it here. At your university. This is my destiny and I must seize it with everything I have. Going to university means a lot to me. I spend most of my time browsing the Playmaker, interacting with my virtual friends, for example crumpet. This shows I have tremendous social skills.


    Got this far, how is it coming along?

    I would have moved personal skills up a bit, as well, but it seems fine.
