FAQs
Answers to questions that you may have about UniBoosts – and some you might not have thought of.
Do you have an example of a reviewed personal statement?
Of course. Please view our reviewed example here.
What subjects can be reviewed?
Will I be guaranteed a place in university if I follow your advice?
University applications rely on many other factors, such as your grades and interview performance. In addition, different people will have different opinions upon any piece of literature.
An aspect that we can’t control is your different achievements and interests, which does play a role in the effectiveness of a personal statement. For this reason, our service includes highlighting and focussing upon your strengths to help you stand out from the crowd.
How are personal statement evaluations delivered?
Is my data safe?
Why don't you write/edit rather than evaluate personal statements?
We believe that writing or editing personal statements treads on the edge of plagiarism (a definite no-no). More importantly, without personally knowing you, we would only be able to produce generic sentences.
Reviews also provide us with versatility. Personal statements can be filled with numerous suggestions that reflect the multitude of opinions that surround the subject. This makes it easy to pick and choose which advice you want to follow according to your own preference.
How are your prices so low?
We believe that our services should be accessible to as many students as possible. After accounting for all our expenses (and some pocket money), we have managed to minimise the prices of personal statement reviews as much as possible. This is further assisted by the fact that we are online-only, allowing us to optimise and simplify all our services to specifically cater to you.
My school has offered to mark my personal statement. Do I need this?
It is great to hear you have such good support!
Help for personal statements from schools usually takes the form of superficial feedback rather than an in-depth critique and analysis of each sentence. Furthermore, it is difficult to exclude the element of bias – as independent reviewers, we are able to provide reliable, objective evaluations. We greatly believe in the quality of our service and, naturally, are strong advocates for the use of our reviews.
