Line-by-line annotation
“From a young age I have always been passionate about psychology.”
Fix: Cliché opener with no evidence. Start with a specific idea that hooked you, e.g. a study, a concept, a question you couldn’t drop.
Illustrative example of a Statementory report.
Not a grammar check and not vague encouragement: a full diagnostic of what is holding your statement back.
✦Score out of 100
Benchmarked against real admissions criteria, with section-by-section breakdowns so you know exactly where you stand.
✦Independent AI-detection check
Your statement is run through a third-party AI detector, line by line. You see which lines read as machine-written, and the questions that will let you rewrite them in your own words.
✦Line-by-line annotations
Every weak sentence flagged with why it is weak and what to do about it, the way a tutor would mark a draft.
✦Before/after rewrites
Your weakest sections rewritten so you can see the difference, then apply the same fix in your own voice.
✦10-step improvement plan
A prioritised action list, so you fix the things that move your score first.

Indicative ranges based on how statements typically read against admissions criteria, not a guarantee of any outcome.
There are four realistic ways to get your statement reviewed. Here is the honest comparison.
| Turnaround | Cost | Depth of feedback | Writes it for you? | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Statementory | 5–10 minutes | £7.49 | Score + line-by-line + rewrites + plan | Never (zero AI-detection risk) |
| Human editing services | 24h – 1 week | £40–£150+ | Varies by editor | Some rewrite for you (risky) |
| Teachers & advisers | Days, if available | Free | General feedback, rarely line-by-line | No |
| ChatGPT | Instant | Free | Generic praise, no admissions criteria | Will write it if asked (risky) |
Costs and turnarounds for third-party options are typical ranges at the time of writing and vary by provider.
UCAS requires your personal statement to be your own work, and universities increasingly screen for AI-written text. Services that rewrite your statement for you put your application at risk. Statementory is built the other way round: it reads what you wrote, scores it against admissions criteria, and shows you precisely how to improve it, so the final statement is stronger and still unmistakably yours.
Worried your current draft already sounds machine-written? Run it through our free AI detector for personal statements.

“This is really an incredible tool”
It has significantly boosted my confidence when writing my personal statement. At first, I was very skeptical about what I actually wanted to write. But using this really helped me be sure of what I needed to write and where my strong areas for improvement are. It pushed my personal statement from a 58 to a 90 out of 100, which I am truly happy about.
“Amazing Website”
Amazing review of my personal statement. I was really unsure and not confident about my ps but Statementory gave a detailed report going through all the content and word choice. It even gave me super-curricular advice which was amazing.
“It was efficient and provided far…”
It was efficient and provided far superior advice and next steps to any other personal statement checker human or otherwise!
Schools and mentors: see the Schools & Mentors plan for reviewing up to 50 statements a month.
How fast is the review?
Your full report arrives in 5–10 minutes. Human editing services typically take between 24 hours and a week.
Does it write my statement for me?
No, deliberately. It reviews what you wrote and shows you how to improve it, so there is no AI-detection risk and your statement stays your own work, as UCAS requires.
What if my statement is for the new three-question format?
That is exactly what it is built for. Reviews assess each of the three UCAS questions for 2027 entry against admissions criteria.
What happens to my statement after the review?
It is used only to generate your report and then deleted from our systems. See our privacy policy for details.
What if the report is not useful?
Tell us which part missed and why. We re-run the review to fix it, and if the new one still misses, we refund you in full.
Most first drafts score 40–60. Russell Group offers typically follow statements at 77+.
