Ucas to replace personal statement with series of questions

Nothing about "A recent Ucas survey found that 83 per cent of students reported the process of writing a personal statement stressful, with 79 per cent saying it is difficult to complete without support." suggests that the statement should be replaced. Life is stressful and once again insulating young people from that reality will do them no favours when they get a job after their studies. Moreover, many tasks require taking advice and getting help from others and this is usually quoted as a life skill!

PS are not fundamentally wrong. Its the snobbery around education and the expectation that one glove fits all. Higher education establishments need to wise up on how they view (harshly put, judge) potential students. Young people today are creating and will lead the next big economic revolution, listening to them won't be enough. Supporting them might keep you in the game.
