Is it Legal and fair to get help writing my UCAS personal statement?

The simple answer is yes, completely legal. Obtaining help to improve the quality of your UCAS personal statement is a wise course of action, given the current competition for places.

Providing bespoke written pieces and editing services for existing UCAS personal statements is, in fact, a common occurrence in most secondary schools, with the student’s teacher providing assistance with the production of this important document. Fortunate pupils at some public and private schools do receive extensive teacher assistance with the writing of their UCAS personal statement. However, the vast majority of students do not have sufficient access to these resources, and receive little more than very sketchy and informal advice about preparing this crucial application statement.

We enable students dedicated to achieving their academic and career ambitions, to work with graduates and academics from the University of Oxford and other top ranking UK universities to ensure that their UCAS personal statement gives them their best chance at securing that all-important university place. Getting In can also provide you with crucial advice on how to improve your own personal statement, and arm you with the tools needed to write strong persuasive pieces in the future.
