They will appear in alphabetical order of institution code on your form and won’t be visible to other universities. You should have choices that are realistic with your predicted grades and make sure you have a back up for your insurance (lower entry requirement). My advice is one or two aspirational, one or two in line with your targets, and one or two ‘back-ups’ You have five choices Do your research before completing this section!

Personal Statement  Paste in from Unifrog/Word when you are happy it is the final version.  Do not add more than 4, characters as it will cut off.  Check special characters such as pound signs and accents in languages as they do not always copy across.  CHECK THIS WITH YOUR TUTOR/SIXTH FORM TEAM BEFORE YOU DO THIS. UCAS have very sophisticated plagiarism software and this does happen and they do notify universities so be very careful about this! DEADLINES 15 th^ October Oxbridge/Medicine/Dentistry 15 th^ January – all other applications. This is for us to send them on – they need to be sent to us by 30th^ September or 30th^ November respectively  When all the sections are ticked as COMPLETE, you will be able to PAY/SEND  This only goes as far as the Sixth Form Team to check. Not to the universities at this stage.  We will send it back if there are amendments; keep checking emails as the message returns to the email you put on the UCAS form.
