UCAS Personal Statement Masterclass with Adelina Pietraru

Every year, top UK universities like LSE reject over 90% of applicants - many of whom have straight A*s. So what actually makes the difference? Your Personal Statement.

​In this 50-minute masterclass, I'll walk you through exactly how to write a Personal Statement that stands out - based on my own experience applying to Oxford, LSE, UCL, KCL, and Queen Mary from a state school, and getting into LSE.

​Here's what we'll cover:

• ​The new 2027 UCAS three-question format - broken down clearly
• ​How to answer each question strategically with real examples from an outstanding Personal Statement
• ​How to use AI intelligently without getting flagged
• ​The mindset mistakes most students make that cost them offers

​This masterclass is for you if:

• ​You're applying to UK universities
• ​You want an honest, practical guide - not generic advice
• ​You're aiming for competitive universities and want to give yourself the best shot
