    You can post them in, so long as you include your name and CAO number

    I am reading from this you can send in your application online and Post in your Personal Statement?

    I have asked this just a minute ago in a new thread, but all I want to know is if I send in for Cao online can I post in personal statement, perhaps when I post in my documents (i.e. within 7 days) although i think i'd be able to post everything right away on monday morning.

    Sorry if all this seems idiotic i've just decided to apply to ucd and this is my only issue. That and the length of the statement.

    Yes, the online application limits the amount of characters you can use in the Relevant Life experience blah blah section, so when I was doing my application I wrote - see postal documents and sent my personal statement via post.

    Make sure to write your name and CAO number on each page you send in.

    The length of your PS really depends. Mine was just over two pages but I had a lot of work experience to get across. It really depends. A page is just as good if you get all the information in.

    Thanks Larianne, I appreciate all the help. Have gotten a heap of advice from you on your page and those two websites. and it's helped me transplant my Trinity info and also given me some new things to consider when i send in my application for Trinity also (have most of their application typed up.)

    thanks again you are doing a great job for all us clueless apes! :D
