The CV That Got Me Into Oxford & Cambridge
Ойын-сауық
So you need to write an academic CV? In this video I show you exactly what I included on my CV for my application to the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford! An academic CV massively differs from a job-style CV so hopefully this video gives you some insight into what to include as a uni student!

I came here in April 2024, and I followed the same structure you have used on your CV, and I just wanted to thank you so much for helping us, now it is June 2024 and I was approved for my masters degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Thank you very much ❤

These are the kind of comments I like to read! Congrats🎉
Honestly you're amazing, it's clear that you put in a lot of effort to take part in internships and relevant work experience whilst doing your undergraduate studies (it's easier said than done, especially when considering how hefty a Mathematics degree is, so kudos to you). Those Oxbridge offers were well deserved, and I'm not surprised. They'd be crazy to reject you! Congratulations, looking forward to keeping up with your academic journey 👏💕

Thank you very much for sharing these valuable insights! Your experiences demonstrate how active, and enthusiastic you were/are about what you are doing, and in general how aware you are about your life and path! All the best!
This is incredible! Perhaps one of the best academic CV examples for postgrad that I've come across. I'm so glad I rediscovered your channel, your videos are so useful!

Wow Thank you so much for this! And you're amazing btw❤❤
Blimey, im 30 and i studied maths at uni ten years ago, the knowledge you have by just looking at your coding channel shows me you knew way more then me when i was at your age, also im looking up virtual work experience at jp morgan, i didnt even knew that existed, how did you come across or find that?
Thank you, you are incredible. 😊
Your cv is amazing, you were really proactive and it is consistent, I am applying for masters at Michigan tech university and was about something something different, I am glad I saw this video, I just followed you on LinkedIn 💙
Congratulations 😊
thank you so so much! you've been very helpful :-))))
Really really helpful!! Thank you so much! I noticed that there are a few bullet points end with just one single word standing at the front of a new line, perhaps it would look better if you could put the word in the previous line.😊
Great content.
I admire that you found out how to show what you have done! And honestly gave me the perspective to look at my experience more kindly and talk about it attractively!! I have a question. I'd like to know if, besides their names (in your references), you added an e-mail address or a phone number.
Thanks a lot I've made my CV similar to yours I'm applying for an overseas internship. I'll definitely update you if I get it ❤

Hey Ellie, Honestly you're amazing and you put in a lot of effort in your CV preparation. I want to ask you that which one is good to prepare An academic CV using chatGPT, online CV format or just MS-word is enough?
I love how you are enthusiastic about n helping others! This video is super helpful!! Quick question: Is it possible to apply for phD without a master's degree? How many years did they last respectively?

Hello! Your video is amazing! I have applied for master's courses and have got numerous offers but I was wondering whether I could accept all of them and then depending on closer to the time, I would reject the offers, can I do this?
Hello! Do you have any information what kind of questions are addressed to referees during the application process? Because academic and professional references are needed, but when my professors are asked about the format, I cant know how to answer.
Please tell me that in application Gate Statement (for funding) we have to mention that we don't afford fee?
_very_ good
I really appreciate your efforts and liked your video. Thank You very much. And I really don't know anyone said to you this, You are very beautiful 🙂
hi.This is amazing video.I got one question. if i would like apply many university for example;toronto or standford university ,we need different cv for different university? ( apply for funding )
I've done some online courses relevant to research, in which section you recommend to add them?
May I copy your headings? (like additional experience, additional courses... only, not the internal stuff )

Regarding your CV and I a see it is impresssive but, how could you have been doing research papers when at the time you were just a graduate? Don't you need to be a Post Doctorate or at least hold a Masters for that?

Hello. As someone with 3.82 CGPA, is it impossible for me to get into Cambridge? I heard that Oxbridge only admits student with 3.90-4.00 CGPA.
@britishempire420
Ай бұрын
It's not impossible for you; course specific requirements vary widely and 3.8 is the minimum bar for entry for a very large handful of courses at Cambridge. Generally speaking Oxford is harder in grade requirements than Cambridge but even then the 3.82 you have will open the majority of doors. Look at the specific course and decide on a case-by-case basis.
