Hi guys, I'm asking this favour on behalf of a very disorganised friend who has just decided to apply for a place on equine degree courses and her personal statement needs to be in by the end of next week.

If anyone has a personal statement that they used for an equine course of any kind I'd be extremely grateful if you wouldn't mind her having a look at it.

If you'd prefer to email it to me rather than put it on here then my email address is sophie.bigimage@gmail.com

Thank you! Friend will be forever in your debt, lol.
 
Im also having the same problem! anyone have any old statements i could please take a look at I would be really greatful. :) Or any tips??
 
I work in student recruitment and have personal statements coming out of my ears at the mo!

Firstly, keep it between 300-500 words, once printed out the UCAS application form is pretty small so try to keep it within this amount.

The Personal Statement is your opportunity to sell yourself to the admissions manager (who usually makes the decision on whether to offer you a place or not). Tell them why you want to study this subject, what you want to do once you have graduated (keep it trelevant to the subject choice) and why you would be suitable for the3 course.

Anything that shows you are motivated and interested - academics like an easy life and someone who wants to learn is always going to be easier to teach than someone who is not particularly interested.

Admissions staff get loads of applications, so try to make yours individual. They are also fully aware that many personal statements are not always written by the student, but there is little they can do about it. Just don't rub their nose in it. Try to make it as original as you can, and by that I mean relevant to you.

You've left it pretty late since the deadline is on the 15th, having said this given what is going on with tuition fees at the mo, universities are going to be desperate for students and it's a buyers market. Just be careful where you choose to study as with the withdrawal of government funding there will be a lot of smaller/newer universities going under/merging in the next couple of years.

Best of luck!
 
I have one that i have used to get onto a the 'Equine Science' course at Sparsholt, not sure if it will be 'show off' enough for you though?
