I was thinking, there's about 3 squabillion threads here for help, but they're all over the place - and anyone wanting help from more than just the last page worth has to sift through people who have left NMM, random chatter, people who are totally unsuitable, etc etc.
And it's really not that hard to edit a post to update it. So if everyone agrees, hows about pretty please you post in here if you're willing to help folks, with what your current and past situation is - especially what unis you got in for or are studying at, because as our dear friend Gizmo points out oh so often, half the winning is being in the right race wearing the right shoes - and i will make a list, so anyone can come in and pick the appropriate people from the list:

As a super-mature student, I would [...] be more interested in, and more useful, helping out people from unorthodox backgrounds.
I also think unorthodox medical students are good for medicine[..] Affirmative action, and all that. Anyway, people helped me last year. Pay it forward, people.
[Me:] humanities grad with many, many years of [...] work history behind me, including some time writing & editing; mother of 3; first time applicant this year from an access course; got into Barts, King's and BSMS [not] Southampton.
Don't [plaigarise, just write your own personal statement] . But I can do detailed, constructive criticism and don't mind drowning in drafts.
