The Statement Planner
A high-quality personal statement starts with a plan. The Statement Planner takes you from a blank page to a finished plan for all three UCAS answers: where to start, what to include in each answer, and how much detail each point needs.
Prompts for twelve economics, business and finance courses, two worked plans and a scorecard to mark your draft against, with the Guide to Personal Statements included. PDF and Word, instant download. Included with every Edit and Premium review.

Three steps from draft to marked-up statement
Send your draft
Book a package above. The booking page asks for your course, target universities and application type, and you attach your draft right there (any stage, first attempt to fourth). Draft not ready? Book now and email it later.
We personally review it
Every comment, edit and judgement call is checked and signed off by a Cambridge Economics graduate before it reaches you. 72 hours standard turnaround; rush available.
You get a marked-up deliverable
A tracked-changes document plus a plain-English write-up of what’s working, what changed, and what to do next. A redraft review is available once you’ve made your edits.
Detailed edits, not just comments in the margin.
We work directly on your draft. Sentences are tightened or rewritten, weak openings and endings rebuilt, generic material cut and replaced with something specific, and the economics sharpened. Every change comes back as tracked changes with a note on why, so you can see exactly what we did and keep or adjust each edit. Every edit is made by a Cambridge Economics graduate and built from your own experiences and ideas, so the finished statement still sounds like you.
Built for the new three-question format
Each answer, on why this course, how your studies prepared you, and what else you’ve done outside the classroom, is assessed on its own, so each one needs to stand up alone. We check all three, individually and as a set, so nothing repeats and nothing’s left thin. Master’s statements get the same treatment against the programme’s own prompt and word limit.
Theory checked, not just prose
If you name a model or theory, we check whether it’s actually correct, not just present. A shaky definition stated confidently is worse than leaving the concept out. This is the part a grammar-only check will never catch.
Tailored to your university list
An Oxbridge-facing answer needs a different balance of depth and defensibility than one aimed at other Russell Group departments. Tell us your target universities and we’ll tailor the feedback to them.

Before you book
Which package should I choose?
For most students, Edit. Proofread only fixes what’s mechanically broken. It won’t tell you if your argument is thin or your structure isn’t working, and for most drafts that’s the bigger problem. Premium is worth it if you’re aiming at Oxbridge or another highly selective course and want the subject itself stress-tested line by line.
Which courses do you review?
Economics and the courses closest to it. At undergraduate level: economics and its joint honours, Economics and Management, PPE, Land Economy, Mathematics and Economics, business and management, accounting and finance, and statistics. At postgraduate level: Master’s courses in economics, finance, financial engineering, wealth and asset management, accounting, management, business analytics, development economics and public policy. If your course is close to these, email us before booking.
Do you review postgraduate statements?
Yes: MSc, Master’s and other postgraduate statements of up to 1,000 words, for universities in the UK and overseas. Choose “Postgraduate statement” as the application type when you book and the postgraduate price is applied. We edit against the programme’s own prompt and word limit. For a longer statement, or several programmes at once, email us for a price first.
What’s the turnaround time?
72 hours as standard. Need it faster? A 24–48 hour rush option is available as an add-on.
Is this safe to use given UCAS’s similarity and AI checks?
Yes. Every edit is made by a Cambridge Economics graduate, and the statement is built on your own experiences, reading and ideas. You see every change as a tracked edit and decide what goes into your final statement.
How does this work with the new three-question format?
You can send all three answers together, or one at a time if you’re drafting in stages; either way works. We check each one against what that specific question is asking, and flag anything duplicated across answers or under-using your character budget.
Can I send extra documents, like notes, a reference or a college-specific brief?
Yes. If a target university has particular quirks we should know about, or you’ve got notes from a teacher or adviser, send them alongside your draft. More context means sharper feedback.
Will this guarantee me an offer?
No, and we wouldn’t trust anyone who tells you it will. What we can do is make sure your statement is doing everything it can for you: specific, well-argued, and genuinely yours.
What happens to my draft?
Your draft is yours. Student drafts and personal details are kept confidential, used only to prepare your review, and deleted on request. Nothing is shared with third parties, and nothing you send is used to train any AI tool.
