This is a good personal statement but extremely unrealistic, he was always gonna get into Oxbridge regardless of what his personal statement says. He had the connections and was clearly wealthy enough to be engaged in niche sports and encouraged by his parents from a young age. Can you make something that reflects regular people, and an achievable standard because this is great but completely unrealistic.

I don’t get how he managed engage in client meetings for work experience

This was extremely helpful, though this is unrealistic to someone of low socioeconomic status coupled with the challenges of covid.

This is superrrrrr 🔥 As a non-English speaker, it's quite hard to elaborate the words as fascinating as this 😓

This is just insane 😂 no regular student can possibly do all this. Another PS from a more regular law student would be great.

Nobody actually speaks like their personal statement-they are usually borrowed ideas from other people. From what I've gathered, you just need to use things that you've done to show why you are a better candidate than the rest for studying the subject-having more things to talk about in depth is better of course-and then you back it up with a powerful introduction and conclusion. You would write it pretty much in your own words, then go back through it using more advanced and obscure words to stand out and show your understanding of the subject. If your personal statement was regular, you would likely not get in.

Nice editing! This channel is going to blow up one day!

I appreciate that!

Could you talk about your Downing college experience/ the med interview? Also what do interviewers really look for?

Don’t know if you will see this but I recently finished my personal statement but had no work experience due to COVID. Therefore, I focused more on the academia and spent a large section creating links between my extracurricular and inter curricular activities. Is this ok.

But what to do if one has already lagged behind quite a lot and still has a ton of the lecture notes as screenshots? Like I have my lecture notes as screenshots and I’m yet to complete the lectures I missed at the first few classes if the semester and in a process of noting down all of it, I realized I actually don’t know and remember much of the topics and am yet to go through those chapters in the book. Solving practice problems are a far away thought at this point. What to do?

Idk if you will ever read this but can you please do a video on how to obtain determination or drive to achieve your goal?I feel that I don't value those straight A's as much as I should.This makes me feel hesistant to work hard.I also feel comfortable with my current grades(below average) bc of this but i know i shouldn't.I just dont know how to stop get out of my comfort zone. I have about 2 months left before my trials and I really need advices 😭.

super helpful Thanks A TON !!!!!

Please let us know how to improve our speaking and communication skills like you

Also what was your BMAT score?

I am struggling with my law personal statement, damn this is hard.

Do interviewers quiz you on stuff on your personal statement? (like St John's for example?) or is it simply overlooked?
