UCAS vs. Common App: Structuring Strategy Around Deadlines
UCAS requires early clarity with one statement and strict deadlines, while the Common App offers more flexibility through multiple essays. Strategic planning helps students manage timelines, avoid burnout, and refine their voice with confidence.
The UCAS system demands early clarity. With a single personal statement and early October deadlines for Oxbridge and medicine, students must solidify their academic narrative fast.

We help students map out timelines that avoid burnout and last-minute panic, while giving space to discover and refine their voice.
