Ideas for opening statement for UCAS application to study for osteopathy/chiropractic degrees...?
I am a mature student with A level chemistry, biology, maths. I work in insurance and also healthcare. I study Tae Kwon Do, and also help the teacher with child and adult beginners. I study Yoga. I have volunteered at my local hospital in orthapeadics and trauma. I have been a patient of osteopath and was a positive experience that gave me interest in the subject. I am ambitious and driven to achieve my dreams, and love working with people, and have loved doing my A levels. HELP ME PLEASE! I CANT BEGIN IT!
I am a chiropractor, and I used to interview prospective students. I would recommend telling your personal story about why you want to attend the school. What inspires you to want to be a doctor, and what draws you to that particular school.
Save your solid academics for later in the essay, because they will see that in your transcripts, and most applicants will have similar qualifications.
Tell them why to accept you and what makes you special and different. They will listen, but try to make it interresting and unique, so that you stand out!
Good Luck,
