This one hour workshop gives a detailed look into the personal statement questions on the UCAS application, helping students write impactful answers that showcase their skills and readiness for university level study and giving them the best chance at receiving an offer to their preferred course and university. The workshop will guide you through each question and will have a Q&A portion at the end.
All workshops run from 6:30-7:30pm. See the available dates below.
This is a comprehensive guide that walks you through all aspects of the university application process, from application prep through answering the personal statement questions, references, and through submission. This guide pairs well with our personal statement workshop and one-to-one application planning service.
This service consists of support sessions that can be face-to-face or online. In the first session, Carly will walk you through the use of our application tracker and help you determine what factors or characteristics of different universities and courses are right for you. Additional sessions allow Carly to help you build your university list and make time to discuss possible universities and courses that you have added to your list. To get the most out of this service, it is advised to arrange at least three sessions. The outcome of these sessions is to build a university and course list for your applications at undergraduate, masters, or doctoral level. If you are not ready to purchase all three sessions at once, you can purchase a single session at a time, though there is a discount for purchasing three at once.
