Acing your UCAS statement

Description:

“I like math because it’s easy for me.” “I’ve always wanted to be a businesswoman because my mom is.” “I’m applying to the Engineering course because I know I will be paid well.” You know these responses won’t get you admitted, but do you find yourself staring at the empty boxes for UCAS’s newly reformatted essay responses and struggling to fill the space with a unique and meaningful personal statement? Do you not quite know what you want to study, or you have absolute certainty about “what” but don’t know how to make the case for why - in such a competitive admissions environment - you should be accepted into your dream course?
Your Hermiona guide in this course - with a track record of acceptance to Princeton and Oxford - will lead students through a process of discovery of their unique academic autobiographies, prepare them to tell their story convincingly for UCAS admissions in UK, and show them what additional steps are necessary to repurpose their UCAS responses for university-specific supplemental prompts in the United States.
