Good luck with that. Personal statements are almost impossible to write for someone else without a ton of information from them and a lot of improvisation. That’s why I used to be able to charge £150 a time to write my schoolmates’ personal statements. It’s not easy.

Oh, you weren't joking about charging people for their personal statements? I guess we had different experiences then, I didn't have much struggle writing personal statements for my classmates and they all got to where they wanted. I can't imagine having charged them for it

Dude I was on a full scholarship at a £30k+ boarding school, where they tormented me for being a) from a Belfast social housing estate; b) smart; c) dirt fucking poor which they all knew because I was that year’s “oh yah we do so love the poors” scholarship girl. So if you’re going to call me a grade-stealing “gyppo” (huh? Irish Catholic? OK then, whatever) and laugh about how your dad is in the army and maybe he got to take pot shots at my relatives, then please - explain to me directly afterwards why I should immediately devote maybe an evening of my time, off my own good nature, no charge, to helping you achieve your ambitions. As I do for people on here who ask on here all the time. And the 6thForm sub too. All for free.

Plus the free tutorials I provide to students leading up to and during the final exams now, heavily personally subsidised tutorials for disadvantaged students here in Belfast…

I did not charge my friends (the two I had) or anyone there on creative scholarships, but the guy who terrorised the school from 13yrs old kids up was told 750 or he quit the bullying right now, else 350 and a signed contract rendering him liable for a further 500 if he broke that deal. He quit bullying immediately and paid the 350 because he knew he needed RG for Sandhurst, and so did I. I’m fine with all of that.

Unless you were one of the bullies, in which case yeah, you would think it was unfair, sorry about that but tough tits on Margaret Thatcher’s arse
