The Ucas personal statement has long been a dreaded stage in the university application process for teenagers.
But from next year, the 4,000 character statement will be replaced by a set of questions on why students want to study their chosen subject and how they are prepared.
To mark the end of the personal statement, we would like to see your old ones. Were you particularly proud of your statement – or does the mere mention of it bring embarrassment? What does reading your personal statement today reveal about your younger self? Does it evoke any memories?
If you’re a university admissions tutor, do you have any old examples of statements you could share? You can let us know below.
