You'll have a word limit imposed on you by the UCAS form (or at least I did). It's usually not too long, like 3/4 page. Start off with a short paragraph about why you want to do medicine and then go on to talk about your extra curricular activities. I think I just talked about playing in various orchestras for most of mine, and I know a girl who got into Cambridge medical school by talking about her flute (in her personal statement and pretty much all the way through her interview!). If you have the grades they can see you're smart, your personal statement is a chance for you to show them how you have lots of interests and are well versed in things other than studying. If you think about it, most of the applicants for medical school are going to have 3 A's at A level so there's not much to tell between them, so you need to stand out and show you have other things to offer them than just your brain. You need to be a well rounded human being. Good luck

i think if you go to a private school they more or less can chuck you out if you dont comply to their standards, i have a friend who isnt allowed to wear make up/dye their hair/paint their nails etc. but if it's a state school im not sure they can even make them wear your uniform, you'll get into a lot of crap but still, technically they cant force you

Answer 2
They have done it before, my friend told me they knew someone that died thier hair red and that wasnt allowed. umm..... cant help but mention. That "small gelled fringe at the front" thing. Its a little .........dated. You should go for a more gelled allover look, if you have the type of fringe i think you have. It was popular in the early 2000's. Try growing your hair out a bit more!! Sorry i, didnt want to sound rude, just trying to help!! :D

If I came to the UK on a highly skilled worker visa, are my children eligible to attend a state school?
If I came to the UK on a highly skilled worker visa, are my children eligible to attend a state school?
I am thinking about working in the UK for a year or two, and using the UK as a base explore Europe. My husband and two kids aged 6 and 9 would come too. We are Australian. There should be no problem for us to find work, we are health professionals and there are plenty of positions advertised. Can my kids attend the local state school? Also, approximately how much are the return airfares to major European destinations from London?

yes, your children will be able to go to a state school for free, and you would also be eligible for NHS medical treatment however your visa will probably specify "no recourse to public funds" which effectively means you can't claim any state benefits such as unemployment benefit, disability living allowance, incapacity benefit, etc etc air fares around Europe is a fiercely competitive market with many cheap airlines (e.g. Easyjet, RyanAir etc) offering cheap flights ... the prices vary and usually if you book early or if you book for an "antisocial" time, or book for midweek then you get cheaper flights I've found that around Europe the flights are the least of your problem ... you spend far more on accommodation at the other end

I flew London Venice for minus 1 pound once. The company effectively paid me 1 pound to travel and I only paid 14 pounds airport fees instead of the 15 pounds. That's RyanAir. I then went back for about 10 pounds + the fees with EasyJet. They are the two best ones, bar none. As per state schools, there are 100 of thousands of africans/polish/pakistanis/indians who go to the UK with no qualifications and get a free home from the government, including free money to live. The first is called housing benefits, the second is called being on the dole. Dental care, health care etc etc all comes to you for free when you are on the dole. With you being qualified, logically speaking there shouldn't be any problems, however the system isn't as kind to tax paying people. Just find a home in a good location, next to professionals and you should be ok.
