Above is nonsense, you can certainly utilise the same personal statement. When you create your new UCAS application, you will be (eventually) assigned the same UCAS ID as your last application, linking the 2 together and significant y'all cannot plagiarize your own argument.

Above is nonsense, you lot tin can certainly use the same personal statement. When you create your new UCAS application, you will be (somewhen) assigned the aforementioned UCAS ID equally your final application, linking the two together and pregnant y'all cannot plagiarize your own statement.
Cocky plagiarism is a matter, just y'all really never know till you become caught. Or, the OP tin mayhap inquire UCAS themselves. I'm sure they accept a contact number/email for this sort of thing.

Hiya Marley
I've popped your thread into this sub-forum in case other people want to know the aforementioned affair, it saves them making a thread and they'll probably be looking in this sub-forum.
I can confirm that Zacken is right,
you can re-use information technology, which UCAS have confirmed here.
But you shouldn't. It would very disappointing if you gained no life experience relevant to your application in a whole year. Even if you were in a coma for the entire twelvemonth, say something abut that.

Merely you shouldn't. It would very disappointing if you lot gained no life experience relevant to your application in a whole year. Even if y'all were in a blackout for the entire year, say something abut that.
Agreed, just the question hither is tin can, not should. Though it'southward worth tagging OP so that they see your advice.

I've used 95% the same personal statement again and got no flags (0% similarity report), then there's a source for you..
