Personal Statement
Personal statements are a compulsory part of the UCAS application for almost every course of study in the UK (for 2025 entry), and application to Medical School is no different.
With a 4000 character limit, the personal statement is the student's opportunity to explain and give evidence for their suitability to Medicine, in a clear and concise manner.
We discussed the topic of personal statement on our most recent talk, which is available on our YouTube channel.
W2M Statement
At Way2MedSchool, we feel the personal statement is a great opportunity for the student's application to stand out; an area of incredible importance considering how competitive entry to Medicine is! However, the personal statement is often under-utilised and poorly done.
Medical Schools view the personal statement in different ways. Some consider it alongside your A-Level/GCSE/UCAT scores when making an offer, others state that they do not consider it at all. Numerous Medical Schools are in the middle, and although do not use it to make an offer directly, they may use your personal statement as a talking point in interview, or use it when comparing two students with similar scores. It's important to fully understand the entry requirements of the universities you are applying to for this very reason.
