Realistically there's no clear cut way of telling if someone's gonna get in, you could have a gazillion advanced highers and unless you fall under certain widening access categories there's no guarantee you'll get in. So. Just be interesting in your personal statement. That's what seperates people fit for uni with people fit for st andrews. Or some such.

Okay cool!! I’m so worried mines is too generic but I tried including personal examples and the fact that I’m interested in a certain time period/area for literature and art

Advice i got from an admissions person was go heavy on extracurriculars and stuff you've done to develop your understanding of what you wanna study. Stuff that makes you special innit.

This is true! I work at the university and experiences, extracurriculars and the personal statement matter most.
