Hi! I'm Jocelyn.
I moved from California to the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic to do an MBA in Oxford, and starting vlogging during lockdown in Britain to document the whole experience. Now living in London, and I vlog about the MBA/careers, my expat life, and expat finances.

Personal Finance for expats in the UK
I've met a lot of people who have been struggling with how expensive it is to live in London, and don’t really know what to do with their money. And no one really talks about money, so we are all struggling on our own, which I think is crazy! There will be no gate keeping on this channel. I have been living in the UK for the last 4 years, I’ve done an MBA, and i’m here to share with you all my tips and tricks about personal finance in the UK.
In this video, I’m sharing the best things to do when you FIRST move to the UK.

You're back, wait for a long time 🎉
I have one year gap in my undergraduate can i apply for mba or may i get rejection?
By itself, this should not disqualify you - just be sure to explain why you took the gap, and anything you did during, and what you did after
It is possible to join in Oxford university for mba without working experience?
No unfortunately they require 2 years of work experience
Hey, fellow UC alumn here, how was recruiting in general? I'm considering LBS and Said, I wanna work work in EU/UK for a bit however wanna return home back to the states. Do you have any idea as to how recruiting back home was like with a intl MBA? Thanks. I did the same thing btw GMAT ----> GRE, however a friends of mine went from GRE ----> GMAT and did better.
I know many people who returned home to the US, and don't seem to have issues finding a job. Your experience is still what recruiters look at, so if most of your work experience was in the US, 1-2 years in the UK/EU won't change anything.
Hi! Is it necessary to have extracurriculars as volunteering, clubs , sports for MBA? Thank you.
These are always helpful to paint a picture of your motivations, but not necessary.
I'm currently persuing my bachlor degree in chemistry. So my question is do I need work experience related to chemistry stream or other field ?
Not at all- any work experience qualifies as long as you explain how it fit into your career
I’m a 3rd year at UC-San Diego right now! Hi my UC friend! I’m dyyyying to go to Oxford for my MBA...I’d LOVE to talk to you...
I love you😘❤❤❤❤❤
Cool to learn about your experience post mba in UK !
Hi
I love you
I was just wondering, supposedly you didnt do well on your first year of college (grades wise) , but then did really good later up to your bachelor, do you still stand a chance as an MBA candidate?
Of course- the important thing is to have progression in your studies and career!
Hi Jocelyn, nice to e-meet you from Indonesia. I have just invited for an interview for SBS. Is there any chance I can setup a short discussion with you for practical tips and understanding about the interview and also SBS? Thanks. Great and informative video by the way!
Of course- feel free to message me on linkedin : www.linkedin.com/in/jocelynclam/
Thanks
Thanks for sharing your experience! Did you interact with any Oxford MSc financial economics students? I’m considering enrolling and want to know on how the other degrees at Said interacted.
Hi there. What’s the best way to connect with you ? Thanks
Just wondering if oxford MBA consists of quantitative and calculations that require calculus.
Thank you for this 🙏🏼. 1 year later I'm watching to prepare my mind for the task ahead.
thx for your interview
Till 7th semester my CG is 3.25. Is this acceptable of Oxford? I have only one semester left.
When are the next videos coming? Been a year waiting
Very nice Oxford flat! Can I ask which college this accommodation was at? Was there a difficult or tricky process behind getting this single flat? Cheers.
Actually, where in CV did you mention your Internships?
As someone with a 331 GRE but 2.9 CGPA, this resonated a lot, thanks for sharing!
Great video
Do you need work experience for doing mba in Oxford mba??
Hey J, congrats on getting into Oxford MBA ❤ as someone who dreams to get into Oxford, I have few questions. 1) when schools ask extracurricular activities, do they specifically want to see some volunteering done?? I mean, I'm someone who loves art and music but I never went out to participate in any contest or show. I don't have certificates to show that I love doing these activities at home. 2) if selected, how's the scholarship situation over there? Do students actually get a certain percentage off their expenses??
Thanks for this
Hi! I'm curious when you say Impact, you saw people struggling in finding a job who have experience in the impact investing sector
Hello Jocelyn Thanks Are u on linkedln? How can we get in touch with u
Thank you very much Jclam👍
My dream 😭😭 one day
This was helpful. Thanks a lot I am preparing for mine
Thank you
You asked very thoughtful questions. This video was so insightful and definitely provided a much needed perspective!
Just curious, did they say why would they would not just hire you under the Skilled Worker visa?
Thanks for sharing your valuable experience. Love from India 🇮🇳
hello, do you remember if they asked you to provide a tenancy agreement for the graduate visa route?
HI JC, thanks for your sharing! Would you please share why you chose the Oxford MBA? What makes Oxford MBA so special to you~ thx!
Hello Miss JC Lam I sent all the required transcripts to Merton College for a consideration to Merton College or to Balliol College if possible so that if Merton College declines my offer then as such Balliol College could potentially award me a place on the Oxford MBA in 2023 as I submitted my GMAT score, my Essays and Reference to Merton College and my Oxford English Test could be on the Oxford University Press if would be necessary and if my passwod issues could be resolved amicably by the Oxford University Press, as such I would express my gratitude for yours continous assistance, thank you, Mpho ; Kesitwe :Tshoagong
