application form

[mintplum1985]

hello every one
I'm a new comer here~ and...in completing my CPE/GDL application form, I have a small question...it's in the section of "Personal Information"...feel difficult to condense all the relevant information (eg. relevant experience, hobbies, interest, career aspiration, etc.) into only 1500 characters.

So...can I write this section not in the style of a personal statement, but just like a CV? I want to separate them item by item now, to avoid the redundancy of consecutive set of sentences.

Will the application board and admission tutors accept this?

Thanks~~~

Some information about work experience should be able to go elsewhere on the form, from what I remember. You don't really need to dwell on hobbies and interests beyond showing that you have some, and I don't remember writing much about career aspirations beyond saying that I wanted to be a solicitor. 1500 characters should be enough if you condense it down to the important points - the LPC form is the same format, so you might as well get used to it now!

Thank you Dragon, with your suggestion I managed to do it now...and also make sure that I've saved it for the second use in LPC application!
