EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO READ FOR OXFORD PPE

Hello hello tanners
the "technical" video starts 1:30
"required" readings at 3:00
readings I did & recommend at 4:10
The Most Important Thing I Talk About In This Video is at 6:00
P.S. this is the tiny little university dorm room I'm staying in for my Beijing internship -- comment if y'all wanna see what living in a 3 sq meter space is like HAHAHA
In this video I cover all the reading material, books, journals, articles, every thing I read in order to prepare for PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) Interviews, UCAS Essay, everything at Oxford! Of course this should also apply to some degree to LSE PPE, UCL PPE, KCL PPE, etc :)
The Oxford trend is coming to an end soon - please comment videos you want to see! I will STILL be posting Oxford videos in the future but as much more of a comparison / holistic thing, not very technical-admissions focused
Hope the video was helpful, and please comment the next few videos you want to see!!
Potential next few videos up will be:
How I got into Oxford PPE (more of a summary)
TSA Prep - writing section
Why I chose Oxford over Cambridge (no hesitation)
Enjoy? ☻

❗️Important Notice ❗️ Yes, I do know that I shared a public folder and for everyone to share / download the files, people will also be able to change / delete the files -- also part of the reason I screenshotted what the folders are supposed to contain, which hopefully helps! Please let me know ASAP if the links stop working :) P.S. Don't forget to comment down videos you want to see next & also any further questions you have!

Hi Chloe! So, the drive link isn't working, it doesn't seem to have any documents in it. Hope you see this message :)

[@lidiabejerea9292]

ItsChloeTan Hey, the link isn’t working ☹️☹️

[@dishahegde706]

Hi Chloe, I believe the files are empty :( Would you be able to repost a link please? x

[@yiranyang3072]

Hi Chloe! it looks like the file has been emptied; would you mind re-uploading the files please? it would be of great help to me

[@asynchloe]

just posted them on my community page!! sorry for the delay :(

[@barbarakwiatkowska2612]

Hi Chloe! Thank you for this insightful video. If you could make a video on TSA prep next, it would be extremely helpful. Have a great day :)

[@stevencheshire3523]

Hi Chloe your videos on Oxford PPE have been wonderful. I’m currently 16 and for the past nearly two years I’ve had my eyes set on this degree. I have done 4 TSA exams for practice but I’ve never attempted the essay so it would be wonderful if your next video could be on the TSA essay. I’m pretty sure it’s self explanatory why you chose Oxford over Cambridge as Cambridge doesn’t offer PPE or similar . Many thanks again, Steven.

[@asynchloe]

Steven Cheshire Exactly my sentiments!! Got it :)

[@hannahr3521]

What college are you thinking of applying to?

[@krishvids608]

Have you applied yet?

[@stevencheshire3523]

@@krishvids608 yes and I was lucky enough to get an offer at Christ Church. I should be starting this October all being well :)

[@RandomTubefulcrum]

@@stevencheshire3523 that’s great to hear. You’ve been preparing for ppe for 2 years. That’s more than a decent amount of time. Am in year 12 right now, is it too late for me to start? Also what grades were you predicted?

[@ioanaturcan5702]

Thank you so much for all your help!!! I’m applying for Oxford this fall and I’m scared I’ve started to prepare too late! But your videos have given me hope! Thank you!!!

[@guif04]

This video is so helpful, thank you so much. I’ve already read a large amount of Introduction to Political Philosophy by Jonathan Wolff but your recommendations and tips really helped me

[@shanetraynor7792]

I love your preparedness, even with cramming, it's pretty motivational. Also your way of explaining things is great. TSA video first please, but interested in seeing why you chose Oxford over Cambridge too. After that if you have time I'd like to see how you balance your time and what hobbies you have, if any! Lol, most students struggle with that so... Thanks in advance :)

U r a role model , Chloe ! Luv u so much

[@reid1491]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THE FILES what an absolute legend!!

[@yashvardhansharma4224]

Hey! Could you please make a video specifically about UChichago? Like, why did you choose UChichago, what kind of opportunities does UChichago offer for Econ students, elaborating on the faculty, resources etc along with comparing it with over universities such as Harvard and Princeton? As someone who would be applying to these Universities for Econ, I'm confused where I should apply early and I believe that would help A LOT. I really like UChichago but I'm not sure and wanted to know about the stuff mentioned above. Anyway, all your videos are AMAZING! Thank you so much. Your Why UChichago essay video and every other video have been extremely helpful!

[@asynchloe]

Yashvardhan Sharma got it!! will do!! thanks for much for taking the time to clarify all the points - i'll make a video on this in september -- thanks so much for staying tuned!

[@arrafidk]

Thank you so much for this and your google drive really helps me! I'm applying to Oxford PPE as a second undergrad soon, wish me luck!:)

Hi Chloe, thanks for the video! The google drive folder that you shared does not contain any documents, would it be possible for you to upload them again?

[@bastian894]

Hey Chloe! Thanks for the resources. I had them bookmarked but the access seems to have been restricted. Could you please have a look? I really appreciate everything you're doing. Best of luck for uni!

[@ishana7338]

hi! i can't seem to find the five personal statements that you read for reference on the drive. have they been removed?

[@blockbusteroien]

Where’s your personal statement?

[@asynchloe]

the UCAS one is on my channel! I have a video called "Reading my UCAS PS" and another about how I wrote it / tips on how to write it! If you're talking about the American college application one, that will be coming soon as soon as the Oxford videos are up :P

[@blockbusteroien]

ItsChloeTan mucho thanks

[@elicrowleyycontreras1135]

How would one use Political Science in China? Do you plan on emigratibg to the West?

[@asynchloe]

definitely tough! but being a PPE major (for me) didn't mean I would transition into a politics related job, but probably more business/econ -- but also I'm not chinese so I might work in the US/SG/anywhere post-grad! :)
