Here i'l list them for u but it's only for question 1 btw :\n\nI'd rather stay in manchester bcos its wer ive grown up and so id have much more financial support here tahn at a university hundreds of miles away so going to manchester would be a lot more convenient \n\nI was already thinking of going to manchester anyway so teh MAP would be a gratefly appreciated boost into teh university\n\nManchester has all the courses i wanted to do so the MAP would be very useful in helping me get onto those courses\n\nI am very interesed in the team work and social skills building and meeting new freinds that the programme offers and the overnight stay\n\nThe programme would give me a much needed insight itno university life and consequently help me decide on exactly what path i would like to take in the future education wise ( or summit liek taht anyway)\n\nAnd for question 2 i have absolutly no idea at alli don't know if its things like just turning up to all teh classes, putting in additioonal hours and attending all things availiable or if it wants summit more specific than that . But anyway hope this helps not sure if this is what you or tehy are looking for bt its what im gonna put ne way

Your profile is extremely good and a good personal statement will be your ticket into both schools.\n\nIn regards to your personal essay, please: 1) do not submit what you wrote for the "college essay" assignment for your senior English class; 2) do not have your fellow students or your teachers proofread it; instead, ask your parents' coworkers or friends (preferably someone who went to UCLA or Cal), someone who doesn't know you very well to proofread it. The reason is that the essay is supposed to give the admissions officers a complete picture of who you are, what you have done, and where you want to go/how you want to get there. Only someone who doesn't know you very well can evaluate whether your essay has accomplished that.\n\nBerkeley publishes a guideline on how to write your personal statement which is applicable to all UCs: http://students.berkeley.edu/files/Admissions/Personal_State_07.pdf

I have a Master's of Social Work from a very good university.  What they are looking for is your personal experience with hardship -- either with yourself or others.  \n\nSocial Work is about helping other people.  It is a job that is difficult but can be very rewarding -- unfortunately, it is not high paid.  \n\nYour "personal" statement should be just that -- personal.  Draw from any adverse experiences you have had or known about.  Maybe you know someone who has a mental illness and you helped them, or just experienced the repercussions of their illness -- if you are a friend, for instance, to someone suffering from schizophrenia, and you have seen the dire effects first-hand.\n\nOr if you come from a broken home, or a good friend does -- what does that mean to you?  How would you work with people who need to have their lives put back together?  Surely you must know some people who have problems -- that is probably why you got into psychology in the first place.\n\nThe programs are generally not looking for people with social work experience, but rather with life experience -- in hardships -- either your own or someone you know.  How does that impact you, what have you learned from it, how could that help you to help others in the future?  That is what they are looking for -- a thoughtful essay about troubles you have seen and how you have the capacity for empathy and caring to help others.\n\nSocial work is really about helping broken lives.  You try to put the pieces of the puzzle back together.  Surely, you have had some instances in your life where you faced problems, and had to find a way to live through them.  They want to know how you handle problems, can you handle the stress of dealing with other people's problems, and can you be there and be supportive to those in need.\n\nYour personal statement should be that:  personal.  It is not about work-related topics, it is not about "experience," because experience comes in many forms -- not just a job or school.  You've probably heard the expression, "he learned through the school of hard knocks."  That sums it up.  They want to know what your personal experience with hardship has been -- and how did you help yourself or someone through that hardship?\n\nThink about it.  You may need to apply to several universities, because it is competitive, however, if you are determined, you can do it!\n\nGood luck!

Honesty really is the best policy. Let them know you had problems with motivation and give reasons why always follow up with how you've changed then go on to the importance of college life and experience, eventually moving on to what you want to do with your life (give specific goals) and how the importance of a college education from that particular school is detrimental to you not only now, but in your educational and career goals. \n\nI basically just wrote a very basic outline for you. Remember all things are in presentation and leave the paper on a positive note firmly telling them the importance of your education and that school. Good luck!

You can go back and edit any part of your application. What you could do is type the reference in putting all the info such as contact details etc...  send them also a copy (scan it) of the reference and don't forget to let him know what you've done.   Good luck with your application, I just sent mine (I'm a so called mature student!)

Hmm, I dont kno if there are sites that have that kind of stuff.  I wrote one for my masters application, it was a pretty vague question.  They just asked why I wanted to be in the program I was applying for.  The director told me they were just making sure that people were applying for the right major. \n\nI think if you are applying for a major that you are dedicated to and really passionate about (like I was) the letter kind of writes itself.  If you want to take a look at mine, I can email it to you. \n\nContact me...my email's chanda712 at yahoo :)
