optometry

[peaceful_blossom]

Hello

I personally havent apply for optometry but i can two friends that are in their first year of optomery...one of which I have close contacts with.

I can give you the general layout of the personal statement. But i cant post of give the real personal statement, since it is her personal statement...but i shall conntact her and see if she will allow you to see it.

I can remember that she got a offer from Bradford and Mancester (unsure about this one) and Aston to study optomery.

General layout:

First paragraph - Introduction..something to do with why optomerty

Second/third - work experience, care experience, skills, team working? Organisation??

Forth - Extra activities eg.. Duke of Edinburgh, clubs...leisure activties.

Fifth - Conclusion

Thats the general layout.

Tip for writing a personal statement -

Frist draft is always bad...so just used this chance to put down everything you want to write in the personal statement, dont worry about it being too much.

Actually I would start off with making a list or a mind map of everything you want to include in the personal statement before starting. Help organise your throughts.

Second draft try to group things up and make it flow.

But you think your happy with it, or cant think what else to do with it, get lots of people to check it for you.

Then act on the changes people give you.

Keep on doing that until your happy with your personal statemet.

Hope this helps.

All the best with your personal statement
