Progression and portfolio
To prepare for my UCAS application and University interviews, I have documented my process of creating a portfolio and personal statement.
Step ThreeWriting a Personal StatementNow that I have chosen my options, to complete my UCAS processes, I need to write a personal statement to support my application. This can only be 4,000 characters, so it is very limited. I started this process by reading through some personal statement guides, this gave me an idea of what to include and what a personal statement should look like. These guides then helped me write some notes to structure my statement. Using mind-maps helps me spread out and section my ideas, which I could later form into paragraphs. Reading through the course content of my number one choice, UO Gloucestershire, really helped me tailor my personal statement plan to the course. I then started to write up my first draft, using the personal statement guides to help.
Spelling and grammar has to be perfect in the personal statement, as once it's sent off, you cannot go back and edit it. As well as using words checking function, I also got my mum, who is a teacher, to proof read my work.
Each time I edited my personal statement, I created a new draft/ document, to highlight my progression.
Finally, I also got my tutor to read through my work, to ensure that it was what the university recruiters would be looking for. I learn it is so important to get feedback to help develop to the best of your ability. I finally edited my personal statement down to fit within the character count, I ended with 3,621. After three drafts, I saved my work, proof read it for the very last time and copy and paced it into the UCAS application form. Meaning my application was complete and I hap applied for university!
