Lastly, it is also important to mention some of your academic achievements in and out of school. I didn’t mention my marks since that information has already been given to the university through UCAS and would be a waste of characters in my Personal Statement. Instead, what I chose to focus on, were academic endeavors outside the classroom. This shows my perseverance and commitment to always learning more and going above and beyond the prescribed syllabus. This is important since medicine is always being updated with newer research and technology.
