Welcome to the FOURTH episode of my Oxbridge Application Series! In this episode, I shared my Oxford personal statement and the things I wished I had done with it. Not gonna lie, I am quite embarrassed that 6 months ago I called this "the" best essay I've ever written. However, I take it as a sign that I myself has also grown not only in my understanding of the topic but also in maturing my perspective and knowledge!

Even though I didn't get into Oxford, I want to still share this with you because it is a different style of writing as compared to Cambridge. When I submitted this one, I thought I wouldn't get into Cambridge because of how different and more academic this one seemed. But the result surprised me! I got into Cambridge but not Oxford. This just goes to show that a personal statement isn't everything and our judgement is probably not the most accurate. The application considers YOU as an individual as a whole! Not just by some 800words statement of purpose.

A few words of warning: if you watch this and think "oh crap she already wrote a pretty good one, how can I top it off if this essay isn't accepted by Oxford" PLEASE, again, your application is reviewed as a whole and not just by your essay. The point is not to create something more extravagant than this, but to create one that REFLECTS YOU as an individual and as a SCHOLAR!

If you're looking for someone to review your essay, I do offer a personal statement/statement of purpose/or any university admission essay review service (paid). Drop me an email (see below) if you are interested.
