BRONZE

The dreaded PERSONAL STATEMENT is one of the key elements to UCAS success. It is a specialised kind of writing that you probably haven't been trained in, and Admissions tutors are looking for very particular things.

GET HELP WITH THE ONE THING THAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD!

But it is only one part of your application - the Personal Statement won't get you in alone: everything in your application needs to work together.

Testimonials

'I found the UCAS system very confusing at first, especially the personal statement and making sure I replied correctly to my offers, but with the support of Dr Karolyi and Dr Adamson the process was a lot less stressful. Their wealth of knowledge on the pros and cons of each University helped me decide where I applied to and their guidance with navigating the website was invaluable. I was successful with my application and gained a place at my first choice University and I couldn't have achieved this without the advice and support of both Dr Karolyi and Dr Adamson.'

Becca C, Leeds

'I applied for Ucas last year but I didn't get any offers that I wanted. So, this year I reapplied.

Julian and David were extremely helpful. First, I researched some courses myself. Then I brainstormed my chosen course, history, with David. David was able to be give some good suggestions about how to write the personal statement having studied history at University himself. This included suggestions for things that I should do to stand out on the personal statement. Things like going to the Archives to do a research project and reading original books rather than the standard books that everybody reads before University. After I had done this I came up with a very long draft of my personal statement. With numerous drafts being sent to both David and Julian we tightened up the writing, and made my statement stand out. Despite this intense editing my statement was still very personal and it was obvious that it was me who wrote it. One particular talent that they have is for cutting words and phrasing things in nice ways which is very important for the statement.

David and Julian have so much experience with UCAS and they know so many tricks that help you get into uni. For instance, I did not apply to straight history at all five of my chosen Universities. I applied to modern history and economic history at places that are harder to get into. It is important to take into account what you want from Uni and they will discuss this with you too. They are very knowledgable on a wide range of courses and they know which universities you should apply to so that you are guaranteed offers. Unfortunately, university applications are quite political at the moment but David and Julian will help you to make sure that you have the highest chance of getting into the place that you want.'

Testimonials

'Julian handled my application and I got into my first choice because he was so helpful and had a way of suggesting slightly different uses of my own words. He knew what the admissions people wanted to see and hear from an applicant. And also he always made time to help us even at really busy times: excellent service!'

Hannah M, Newcastle

'UCAS is a scary idea for anyone, and it was one of the hardest parts of my A-Levels. Though, with the tuition, support and help I received from Dr Karolyi and Dr Adamson I was able to achieve my goal and get into my dream course.'

Tabi S, Leeds

'When the time came to do my personal statement in order to get into university I had not a clue what to do, how to do it and what to write at all, thankfully I had Dr Karolyi and Dr Adamson near me ready to help and guide me on the right path. So I got in!'

Klava Z, London

'As statistics show, the Oxbridge application is getting more and more competitive every year. I certainly owe a great deal to David and Julian for my success in the highly demanding and nerve racking application process. Their advice on how to write a personal statement and how to make an impression in an interview proved to be extremely useful and highly erudite.'

Adam L, Cambridge

When I first started to work on my UCAS application, everything was a but confusing and hectic.

Luckily, I had Julian and David's assistance. With their built up experiences over the years in reading and writing personal statements, they helped me to complete my personal statement with the requirements the universities expected from an applicant.

Therefore, thanks to both of them, I got into my first choice university to study Law!
