SEAS

soooo.... applying for seas for category 7 (under represented) and category 9 (medical condition)... but thats not important except that with the impact statement i'm not sure what else to include i mean i'v answered the question but its what... 350 characters but they say up to 2500 characters... i figured i should write more.. like an essay where its a do u agree?? and u could answer with one word.. no or yes.. but anyways what should i write and has anyone else done one that they could recommend what to put in..

and the statement of support my specialist said that they would get it to me as soon as possible but they said it may take up to a month.. which well i'm sorry when are these due??LESS than a month.. so do u think it'll be alright to just get the GP to do a letter instead coz trying to get to the specialist is SO hard...

Also with these SEAS things especially category 9 once u apply is it assured that u'll get an 'advantage' over other students or is it more that if ur on the boderline it could get u in coz they feel sorry for u.. and would they like look at the medical condition and be like hmm... cancer or a sore toe?? hmm... kinda thing.

AND sorry... with SALT applications and stuff is it a garanteed place or is it just we'll consider u a bit more??

You've still got 5 1/2 weeks until it's due (Friday 9th October) but I would keep calling to remind them. In your impact statement ensure that you put the emphasis on the IMPACT that your medical condition has had on your studies. They will usually only consider your application if you fall in the middle band (along with all the other middle band considerations they may have)
