Yes - universities base up to 80% of their decision on your personal statement.

Before, universities could look at your Year 12 grades and make their decisions from there.

But very few schools still do Year 12 exams.

So universities now make their decisions based on your: 

• Personal statement
• GCSE grades
• Predicted A Level grades
• Reference

Universities know GCSEs aren’t a good indicator for success at university. 4 out of 5 predicted grades are wrong. And references are heavily biased.

What does that leave? Yes, the personal statement.

That's why universities now base up to 80% of their decision on your personal statement.

So crazy as it is - your statement really matters. It’s not the only thing that matters, but it really does matter.

In the words of Director of Admissions at Durham University: "The personal statement is crucial in helping admissions tutors identify students with the greatest merit and potential."

Yes.

We now have trained Specialist Statement Reviewers in (almost) every subject.

If you're applying for an extremely niche subject (e.g. Viking Studies), let us know on chat to double check but for all other subjects we'll have trained Statement Reviewers on-hand, specialised in your target subject.

One of our Specialist Statement Reviewers.

1st Class graduates from Oxford, Cambridge and other elite Russell Group universities, our Specialist Statement Reviews have completed our 30-hour training course and are here to give you the most accurate feedback possible on your personal statement.

They'll leave detailed feedback on every possible improvement and make critical edits until your statement really is perfect.

Unfortunately, the support at most schools just isn’t good enough.

Recent studies show 75% of teachers' personal statement advice is wrong, directly contradicting feedback from university admissions tutors.

Teachers are trained to teach, not to give personal statement or university application advice.

You will receive detailed feedback from our Specialist Oxbridge Graduate Reviewers within 48 hours.

And sometimes even sooner!

We also offer a 24 hour express service if you're really in a rush! Speak to us on chat to organise.

No.

Pleaseeeee? 

No!

The Perfect Statement course gives you everything you need to write the perfect personal statement yourself - how to structure it, build narrative, what books/lectures to mention, how to reference them, make every word count...and everything in between.

Plus over 300+ super detailed examples and our interactive statement-builder.

But we cannot and will not write your statement for you!
