Hello there, IELTS podcast listeners! Today, we delve into the significant role a well-crafted personal statement plays in accessing your dream university, particularly in the UK. Joining us is special guest Fedoua Jalmus, who brings her extensive experience from both academic recruitment and personal consultation.
During our discussion, Fedoua emphasises the importance of authenticity and sharing personal experiences over generic statements. She shared the story of Maya, a student whose genuine narrative about her passion for environmental science, illustrated through personal anecdotes like volunteering at beach clean-ups, greatly strengthened her application.
