    Good morning Dr. Amina Yonis am Justice currently applying for my MSc in the UK and your videos have really been of great help to me. I was able to prepare my personal statement for my degree but I will like it to be reviewed by you in which I followed the link to ensure my wish comes to pass but the required fee which is a good idea I'm not able to afford it at all so I'm here to request your help if there's a way you could still assist me with doing the review I will really be grateful to you if you accept my request. Thank you ma

    Came back to your video just to say I watched this video and followed the steps and I got accepted to the unis I applied to! Thank you so much!! I wrote my PS last minute and my teachers weren’t of much help. This video was perfect and all your advice was amazing. For people applying I’d say follow her tips and also make sure you get people to check your statement. Start writing it early one. The earlier you write it the less you’d stress about it and rush it. Also, start preparing for interviews now and do extensive research on the subject you want to study. Good luck everyone!!
