How to write a Personal Statement (advice from Oxford, Sussex, Greenwich and Bangor)

[@jonathanklein1133]

That moment when this is the exact same video as their "Why you might get rejected" video

[@shalomalinda1934]

I also noticed

[@blue_cameron]

I've always hated the modern era and that's why I want to take history.

[@MatthewTraceur]

not good enough mate xD

[@jessieli8499]

real intellectual

[@majdsahmarany3091]

hahahahahahahaha

[@aimifirdhausshafie9976]

If you are going to take history, you should be aware that 'modern' is a relative term. People in 18th century were modern compared to 15th century people. Just a point to ponder.

"From a young age, I've been interested in accounting." What kind of child is interested in accounting??

[@kaptiankaos8112]

In all honesty I was for a while.

[@majdsahmarany3091]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA loll yeah that ought to be one of the weirdest things to read on a personal statement...

[@majdsahmarany3091]

@Miriam Zahed hahahahahahaha

[@soaringred8929]

I didn’t even know what accounting was until I was like 10 and my dad is an accountant

[@sidmaurya2488]

A child.

[@崔桃琴]

So to conclude this video, you need to 1) be genuine; 2) research on the course beforehand; 3) demonstrate your passion and skills with clear examples and evidence; 4) write with a clear structure; 5) stop saying you like handing out with friends.

[@ST-gd4go]

崔桃琴 hanging*

[@roisindixon93]

"don't wait until the night before you've been told by your school or college you have to hand a draft in" ooooppppsssss

[@majdsahmarany3091]

Exactly dude! hahahaha fml

[@zanderschultz3620]

Yo I know this is like 4 years old. But can we get a shoutout to Jerome Chan, the real hero of this video.

[@eholtcj2449]

You actually gave me the most important advice I needed to hear, which is to make sure that the taught subjects are really what i need, you saved me from wasting alot of time in studying something that i'm not interested in, thank you

[@Syrus7sk]

7:37 I hate socializing and hanging out with my friends...

[@hantram3329]

So do I. But we should choose one in another to write in this, especially for the foreign learners who want to get the scholarships.

[@peeper2070]

I hate people being murdered which has led me to develop a passion in criminology from a very young age

[@stoychorusinov5519]

“I’ve always been doing university (since the age of 15) illegally so now, at the verge of high school graduation, I can finally do it without having to be chased by the security department”. How about that you smart heads?

[@hongbo-wei]

Thank you so much for your valuable advice. I believe this helps a lot in my application! : )

[@Solhick]

As a third year, I found this very helpful... why am i here

[@usmanajanah1543]

I know that this videos will guide the successful completion of my application. Thanks in a million, for sharing your wonderful advice.

[@dasiakristi2149]

how did it go ?

[@Brlitzkreig]

The music is so annoying.

[@lianpage1805]

These are pretty lazily edited. I've only watched two videos from this channel and I've already seen 3 recycled clips.

[@lilai777]

What if my experiences as a child are directly related with my passion and future career plan?

[@spiritblood1100]

I think we need comedical timing on the cutting of clips, and then I’ll be fully engaged.

[@ornellalukombo9929]

Thank you for this really helpful video !

[@abdifatah9290]

Watching before i do my application. Good luck to me

[@nikola206]

Abdifatah Hassan if you need any advice I’d love to help! I start at Oxford this autumn and I know just how hard it’s been for next years applicants to get the help they need from their schools, or even just getting decent feedback. If you need advice or feedback my email is [e-mail]. Best of luck with your application!

[@loredanastefan1138]

[@vexling111]

[@mariomario7096]

I use essay-makers when I don't have time to write a paper

[@vg6761]

[@teresaboyd4406]

[@_str4mbolik]

Please, explain to me something because I am bit confused. Why there are things you say in the video we should avoid in a personal statement. But, in your website the examples are the opposite? It does not make any sense.

[@elalaelasariuinjakarta7548]

Thank you. Greetings from Indonesia

[@aabsharkhan6883]

if u need professional and genuine statement of purpose, letter of motivation, research proposal etc. then inbox me or whatsapp [phone].... *low cost

[@elalaelasariuinjakarta7548]

@@aabsharkhan6883: I will teach British English to some students from low-income families in my country. Hoping they will be able to apply for scholarships. Actually, I teach Genomic in Medical School. I will teach them before going to Oxford for a presentation this year. This wonderful video is for our students.

[@lia.mira88]

I love this video. Thank you very much!

[@malikapandey9291]

Could you please give a sample of any student ‘s personal statement which has stood out ? It will be of great help :)

[@chukwudianuforo3024]

I'd like Jerome Chan to be my tutor!!!

[@vocationalimpact]

[@generalchannel5708]

well, it turns out that I am strange

[@sarifudinalamati4804]

where to apply the personal statement? university website? lecturer? or ...?

[@tomcox1419]

UCAS

[@potatae6027]

7:37 Wait, what are friends? I've never had one.

[@layfonbishop9109]

Is it alright to mention the development and progression of my camping skills in fortnight?

[@rainuriftiannehziraelwance9582]

MEANINGS

[@TheCallofdeath123]

Only interested in oxford advise

[@UponTheStarz]

Advice*. I doubt they would be interested in you :)

[@TheCallofdeath123]

Kitsunɘ haha... i'll give you that one. I was typing fast so didn't think of the actual way of spelling it. :)

[@lifewithdylan]

Kitsunɘ 😂😂😂

[@WelshKyle]

*Advice, The asterisk goes before the correction. They won't be interested in you either. ;)

[@UponTheStarz]

Kyle​ And after a comma the next letter isn't capitalised. I would be more worried about spelling mistakes rather than symbols :)

[@roryscottish8053]

The oldest universities. Are oxbridge Aberdeen Glasgow ediinburgh and st andrews

[@ihaveyu]

the bald guy is speaking like he's been through the trenches reading these personal statements

[@Mustafa-ov3vu]

Most of the average universities dont even read it they just send you an offer (only top ones like cambride, oxford, lse, imperial etc do)

[@kenzahcarstairs5417]

Not for all courses though... Oxford doesn't place much importance to PS for courses like chem

[@rainuriftiannehziraelwance9582]

contant of these were all.

[@i_am_megamind]

Thank you. hahahaha...from a young age..

[@ayubaalim2201]

my love from Somalia

[@dinona247]
