just done my one for my job application so i can remember it lol
I'll email you mine if I can find it. That might give you some ideas?
Write a really rubbish one, just get something down, then play with it lots.
If you want more advice I'll go into Admissions Talk to 6th formers mode when I'm more awake although I usually do sciencey stuff.
As far as I know they don't look at your Personal Statement as long as you get the grades and it's not a competitive course. That's what I was told in school anyway.
The personal statement was a phat mish to write and I hated it. You basically have to become a really stuck up, self obsessed fuck whilst you write it. It's basically you bragging about what amazing things you've done and how you're perfect for them because of this.
i'm freaking out a bit cos people are telling me that all the courses and the uni's i've chosen are crap, and i can't really be going out of london (well, i am looking at bath spa and UWE (bristol), but i know those areas sort of)
it's complicated...
How many go straight into employment, what fields they work in, average starting salary, common companies to work for, next steps, that kind of thing.
It sounds like the kind of course you are after is one that has only become a degree course relatively recently, so will be mainly offered by ex polys or new unis which is why some see it as 'crap' although what they see as 'good' won't offer your course.
PM me if you want some more help, or to look over your personnal statement.
