Should applicants to UK universities be allowed to write their personal statements in American English? Indian English? Brummie English?

Yes, I believe they should.

Why or why not?

When we write a personal statement we are introducing ourselves. We wish to show the college admissions committee who we are by presenting facts and beliefs concerning ourselves we think would be of value for that institution. The language we speak is a big part of the identity we have build and keep on building throughout our lives. It is a crucial piece in the cultural puzzle that helps develop our view of the world and of ourselves. If we are not allowed to write our personal statements in our original language, we are, in a sense, betraying the very identity we wish to convey through our precious words.
