As of 2024, there will be a significant change in the university application process in the UK. UCAS has announced that it will be scrapping the personal statement and replacing it with a series of structured questions. This change comes in response to concerns that the personal statement may favour more privileged students who have better access to resources and support. While the personal statement will no longer be a part of the UCAS application process from 2024, it remains a crucial element of many university applications around the world.
