I am a fan,currently writing a personal statement for college,learn’t a lot from you👏👏
this is the first personal statement video that gives actually useful advice. thank you!
Thank you! I’ve just found your channel and it’s been so helpful.
Thank you so much for this! I'm writing mine currently but I'm just so unsure how to structure it. This really helped me!
Glad it helps! Best of luck
Good stuff here. Thanks alot sir
Thank you for this insightful video.
Literally laughed out loud at your reaction in 2:43 😂
hi joe! thankyou for this. is the guide in your desc still available?
Very helpful. Quite different from the states where ec s are emphasized. Do you think academics internship can go in to substantiate as well?
Great Content.
Hello, Joe!
Thank you so much for what you're doing! I wanted to ask whether you check statements for graduate course. If you do, how can I reach out to you for reviewing? I have mine written and rewritten more than a few times, but with applying for Oxford comes with doubts and some anxiety, so I really need an outside and honest perspective.
Hi I just came across this video and this has really helped my application on how to structure and write my personal statement. I was wondering if I was able to send my Economics personal statement into you so I could get corrections ?
hello joe ,how to structurize your interest in a subject that you hadnt taken in a levels but you are planning to study it for further studies
I need a sop about the political science
Do I need to add an appreciation text at the end of my personal statement
What would you suggest differenlty for a PPE essay
Hi,
Can I send a letter to the admission officer of a specific college of Oxford University even though it's not a personal statement but just a letter where I explain why I want to do PPE ?
Thanks this was really helpful. Currently in the process of writing mine. I am looking for a book to read that contrasts the idea of free and open trade. Therefore, what books would you suggest that argue for protectionist policies, ideally the book would be old as I haven’t read a historic economic text yet. It’s just I’ve been unable to find one that meets this criteria.
@JoeMead just tagging you to make you see message as I forgot to first time around. Thanks 👍👍
Hey Joe, thanks for the video! Quick questions, I had re-written several ‘first’ paragraphs based on development and behavioural economics but I am not really sure about how to just write something, is there any advice I could receive from you and also is behavioural development economics actually a real field (I saw it online but I don’t know if I can fully trust the websites)?
Hey! Behavioural economics and Development economics are definitely 'real' standalone fields. Merging the two is definitely interesting and valid, but there'll understandably be fewer people at the intersection of the two
Hello, do you think you could read my current personal statement draft?
My dream is to study mathematics at Oxford uni 🤲🇬🇧📚
why
@@gabid279🤬🤬🤬
Why?
Do you have any advice on cutting characters? I’ve written two economics sections, extra curricular and conclusion, planning on intro and two more econ sections and at This rate my finished one will be like 5500 characters 😂
5500 characters is absolutely fine to cut down from!
Honestly there's no secrets: you just have to take several passes and cut non-essential words and phrases.
As I said in the video, it's okay to jump around a bit in the personal statement, don't worry about being super fluid.
Hello did you get in if you don’t mind me asking?
@@constantinoplepasha5332 no I was rejected pre interview, most likely because I didn’t do well enough in the TSA. I’d known that timing was tight, but time disappeared when I did mine 😂
Hi... kindly share the link
Please answer me, is it necessary to pass the mathematics exam for the master's degree?
hey joe, I am an indian student and need some major counselling for my personal statement, please drop a way i can connect to you, it would be the biggest blessing.
Hello I'm applying in English literature
How can I do it
Can u help me plz
How to Apply For Undergraduate scholarships?
I will love for u to help review my personal statement
Hello, just a quick question, do I have to submit the personal statements as well as the LNAT on the same date
You can submit them at different times, provided they're both before the deadline!
hey, do you still review personal statements?
Hi Joe, would it be possible for me to send you my E and M Personal Statement for you to review please?
hi joe, is the link to personal statement checking service in the tutoring session? :)
Hi Nicole, yes it is!
@@JoeMead hi Joe, okay thank you! also thank you for making this video because my PS sounds way better now I have used your advice!
Should I still apply to Oxford Economics and Management without further maths?. I do economics, maths , psychology at a level and a finance course that's worth half an A level?
It definitely helps but unlike Cambridge, they aren’t very strict on it. But make sure to secure an A* in maths!
cud I send u mine bruh🙏🏿 im aplying land economics for next week?
Ive heard that oxbridge don't actually read your personal statement and they rely on the admission tests. Is this true?
Admission tests are a (much) more important component of the application, but personal statements often come up in the interview at Oxbridge!
funnily enough one of my tutors who I did the interview with admitted she did not actually read it
Hi Joe! Thanks for making this video. May I ask about the format of the personal statement? Like font, size, margins, single or double space, etc? Thank you in advance!!!
Hi Oliver - you don't have to worry about any of that as I believe when you submit to UCAS you copy paste into a text box. The only limit is the 4000 character count
Hey, Sir your personal statement is based in 750 words? Yes or no?
Hi! I’m applying for a science based degree, but am an Oxford aspirant? Would it still be suitable for you to review my personal statement?
Yes! I've got a few contacts that I can forward you on to.
@@JoeMead wonderful! How shall I contact you?
Hi! is this ps for an undergraduate application or a graduate application
Undergraduate!
so a small paragraph about management is enough? something short and concise?
I'd actually recommend a fair chunk be allocated to the management section. It can be up to 70% of the degree and needs to have its fair share of character count. 2:1 ratio of Econ: Management would be fine I think.
I got rejected for economics 😫😭😭😭😭😭
I can help you create a compelling and persuasive personal statement that will help you get accepted. Please DM.
@SynthInspire please Help me
@@SynthInspire, I also need help😢
What a-levels did you do?
