Great job! Hira Javaid. You nailed the most important segments of a personal statement.
This series of videos are wonderful. Thanks, Hira.
This series of videos are amazing. The way you have broken it down makes it easy to capture the information you are trying to relate to the section you are discussing. Thank you
Thank you for your comment and positive feedback! I always love hearing from the viewers :)
Great point Hira. I had a bad undergrad GPA and addressed it in my essay. Not to dwell on it... but to illustrate how I have rebounded.
Hey Asrif, do you mind saying how did you do so? I am in a similar boat and I want to do it well.
Thank you for showing us your work! I’ve learnt so much phew 😅 😂😂🎉
The intro is amazing!
I would like to ask for a suggestion. Is it okay to start the SOP with a question , whose answer piqued my interest?
Thank you for making these amazing videos.
Thank you so much and of course! Start whatever way you want - it's YOUR personal statement! There's no right or wrong way to do it as long as you address what they want to know - e.g. Why are you applying, future plans, your experience, and all the other things we talk about in these videos. Starting with a question is different and interesting in my opinion and it'd be interesting to then link it to your motivation for applying. Best of luck!
@@oxford_phd Thanks for reply!
I was wondering if u shared your whole SOP anywhere and I missed it. Would you mind sharing the whole SOP?
Again, thank you.
@@saquibbinhabib5389 yes this was part 3! You can find all the other parts (part 1-5) on the channel!
Is it only for personal statement? Can we start a cover letter in this way? Most universities require a cover letter.
Hello Jira. thanks for the videos. Please, what is the main heading of a Personal statement? Can I write *PERSONAL STATEMENT ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT STUDY*?
Hi! No need for a heading on the document! They will know it's a personal statement.
@@oxford_phd ok,thanks
I need to ask to my former thesis supervisor for a reference letter. How Can I ask this by email?
Hi Hira I'm planning to do Mres in oncology and even had got a prof.who can supervise me.. he said that application acceptance is independent of his decision so what all to consider while applying like sop CV and all
