It’s not about how much work experience you do, it’s about how you demonstrate the skills and insight gained from the work experience that you did do. From a final year medic who got in with basically no hospital work experience.

Hey, I'm glad it worked out for you. I completely understand the position you were in because I'm in that position right now. I realized I wanted to do nursing late so I didn't have years of preparation or experience. & I only have a few months to apply. (I'm in the UK so you don't do Geneds but usually, people take a year of nursing-related subjects before going to uni.) I was wondering what you expanded on in your essay? Thanks, Best.

Absolutely, even compared to when this personal statement with written, Cambridge has decreased the importance of work experience. It's generally still necessary to demonstrate some caring experience, but they are trying to decrease the value of "I shadowed a surgeon for two weeks (because Daddy is a doctor and arranged it for me)". Despite this, they still seem to demonstrate some cluelessness, my daughter has been told the best way to practice for interview is to practice talking to someone working in the field and she's quite disappointed I don't know anyone working in linguistics!

Honestly good luck to any of you guys applying this year. I remember doing my personal statement last year and you can't imagine how happy I am to have this part of my life behind me hahah

The personal statement was effective because it showcased the best aspects of this individual, using a fact based method. This also avoids any aspect of appearing arrogant as it is the facts that show the passion of the individual backed up with the active steps they have taken to learn about the subject. This format also works for personal statements for job applications.

Ophélie Baudelaire Thank you, that’s very kind of you!

although this video really clearly explained a structure and why this guys statement was good, its really of no help to most of us. that's a hell of a lot of experience that most of us dont have and cant even think of a suitable option to replace. most of us have retail or fast food jobs. It would be really helpful if you made a video helping those of us who arent already at a massive advantage with excellent grades and work experience, we are the ones that really need help. No offence, i really appreciate the effort and clarity of the video, just i checked out almost instantly because right away i knew you werent talking to people like me and you cant help me with this, that guy was always going to get into uni, the statement was bonus for him. There's a lot of us out there hoping our statement banks our place. is it worth me making a skillshare account or will the template be much like this video and only really help those who are already stand out?

I have to write a sop within 48 hours and here i was looking for it on KZread. The details are immaculate.

This is by far the best PS analysis I saw on KZread. Thx a lotttt

I’ve been watching videos RE personal statements for a couple of days now. I’m at the beginning of this one and it’s already clearly the best.

I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR OPSONIZING WAY TO COLLECT THE INCREDIBLE IDEAS MEDICAL STUDENTS

Whoa ur friend is a full package, but honestly he is such a great example cuz we have to learn from the best. Thanks.

i really enjoy the break-downs you provide, but it would be nice to hear a full read-through right at the end to understand the natural flow of the statements

With all do respect this is far from the best personal statement, and honestly, in rare cases, most personal statements are adequate enough, and only get labeled as outstanding when the person using them succeeds enough to become relevant for people to analyze it wishing to replicate the same success.

Thank you so much! This totally helped me write my personal statement for a scholarship application.

it just inspired me and motivated me to write mine after getting confused between the personal statement and statement of purpose, I think everything is clear now, thank you

I wouldn't say this personal statement is "the best I've ever read" or even all that great. There's no specificity in the examples, they're rehashing their CV talking about a lot of different things superficially, there is no real theme interconnecting the examples. Obviously, they've done a lot of impressive stuff... maybe UK Personal Statements are different, but it's better to focus on a few things and talk more deeply about their meaning to you.
