putting ums marks into personal statements
if you have attained a perfect 600/600 score in say, for example, chemistry and physics, should you mention this in your personal statement to highlight this to the admissions? as they may glance past this in the normal ucas form, and not all places look at ums marks. would it improve your chances of obtaining an interview?
cheers

Personally i wouldn't because it might look a lot like bragging, also i believe universities get your raw data - marks and that from exam boards - well that was what i've been told anyway

tbh, i would use the very valuable PS space to hightlight who you are, not how much of a brain box you are, but i do know of mnay people who do mention it. i guess if you have said what you have needed and there is space left over, then go for it-but just word it nicely lol

I got full marks in a few individual modules, and got my referee to stick it down on her reference if she had room left. I don't know if the PS is the place to say it, because you will really be struggling for space by the end! But well done!!!!!!

I don't have time to check personal statements at the moment, sorry.

Yeah my module marks (admittedly not as impressive!) were mentioned in my reference.
