🌱 A bit about me
Hellu peeps, I’m Viancqa - an Indonesian working in Singapore, who previously studied in the UK for 5 years at Cambridge and Coventry. Here, I share my slice-of-life takes, talking openly about my mistakes, learnings and growth, finding ways to navigate my early 20s, and just how to be a slightly better person each day. If I find something interesting in my life, I also like to vlog it!
🌱 If you're applying to study abroad
I have helped 30+ students gain admissions to top universities globally, the likes of Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, Edinburgh, UIUC, Toronto, and more. I mainly work with students on finding their narratives for personal statements and help them in their storytelling. For more information on this paid service, drop me an email or DM @letvihelpyou

Hi Viancqa, you've mentioned about 'whats the trigger' that made you choose the uni, and to me personally I'm interested in this uni because its one of the most affordable uni in the UK. Is that ok if I mention that in my personal statement?

[@Viancqa]

Hi Zahrah, I think let’s put it this way, if you’re selling something and someone goes to you to buy that thing and they say “I want this because it’s the cheapest”, but you work hard to create or source that thing, how would you feel? Personally, unless it’s something that the university advertise on (“we’re the most affordable!”), I would avoid saying so and focus on something else more substantial, e.g. if the course they are offering is unique and not offered in many unis, briefly mentioning what interests you about the city that has impact on your study could be another alternative too.

@@Viancqa thank you for your insight, I truly appreciate it!

Hi Viancqa, applied to Imperial last week. I did the exact same things you've explained in this video. I've completed my degree from Coventry as well so I'm just hoping they'll accept aplication from an "ex-poly"... Thanks for the video.
