Here on TSR we have an extensive personal statement library for people applying to uni to read to get an idea of how to write a PS and what sort of things you should include in them.

If you have gone through the application process and are now at uni you can add your own personal statement to the library for others to seek inspiration from. Personal Statements which are being used in the current application cycle cannot yet be added.

Adding Your Personal Statements

So, you want to add your personal statement to the library. However you add your PS there are some pieces of information which are needed to help other people when reading it:

• the subject(s) it was used to apply for
• the level (undergraduate/postgraduate/Masters/PhD etc.)
• which unis it was used to apply for
• which unis offers were received from and what conditions those offers had
• which uni, if any, you ended up going to

You do not have to have your name associated with a PS and you may wish to anonymise any reference to names and places mentioned in your PS.

So you are ready to add your PS - there are two ways:

Important Note

Personal statements which are added to the wiki may be reviewed by one of our PS helpers. This is to help others understand what they need to do to write an effective personal statement. While the reviews will be polite some people may feel uncomfortable about this, so if you have any questions or problems please contact randdom.

Examples of names for Personal Statement articles include:
