How do I know that my statement will suit my uni's expectations?

Writing a personal statements is one of the hardest tasks for a student. The fundamental point to do it is understanding which kind of subject you're applying to - an essay-based one, like Philosophy, or a more practical one, like Medicine or Maths. Consequently, the statement should reflect the nature of the subject, including essay-like reasoning or elaborating on any hands-on experience. To exemplify, if you're applying to read History, the statement should involve a piece of reading you've spontaneously been interested in, as well as your reflections and critiques of it. Conversely, if you're applying to something of the likes of Medicine, you have to include any personal experience like volunteering or training that shaped your interest in the subject and elaborate on that, expressing your views on it.Overall, your personal statement should convey your enthusiasm in studying the subject at the universities of your choice. Therefore, avoid any phrasing like "hopefully" or "I hope I can" and replace it with something strong such as "I am sure that". As selection processes are fiercely competitive, highlight why how you will benefit from attending the course at academic level and how universities will benefit from having you as a student. In doing that, remember not to mention any institution you're applying to in the statement and to limit your related extracurricular activities to a 20% maximum of the text.
