Personal statement- applying for one university

If you are only applying for one degrees and one university, will you mention the university name in the personal statement and why you want to attend this particular course there?

Well, I suppose you could, provided you were absolutely certain that if they rejected you, you didn’t plan to try anywhere else in the main or clearing round. Might be more cunning to just slant your ps strongly to them eg reflecting their module choices, to give more flexibility in the face of events ?

No, it will look really weird as they don’t know you are only applying to them, they don’t see where else you apply (or not).

Why limit your options in this way?

No I wouldn’t. Why only one, what’s plan B?

As a former admissions tutor I cannot see how doing this would help. I would actually find it a bit offputting.

Thank you. Those were my thoughts

No. Each uni won't know if you have applied to others or not. You can submit the form for one but add up to four others before the January deadline, this not limiting yourself.

LSE has advice on their website specifically NOT to do this.
