today I'm reading the personal statement that got me into the London School of Economics (LSE), University of Edinburgh, University of Bristol, and King’s College London (KCL). My personal statement was tailored to my personality and interests, make sure to do the same for yours! I'm also sharing some of my best advice on how to write a personal statement that will get you into the uni of your choice!

This video is detailed and straight to the point. Thumbs up. Please I do need your help in writing my personal statement
This was so so helpful, thank you!!
thank you! so happy it helped :)
thanks for sharing sophie! love u
Underrated video
this was extremely helpful thank you!
so happy it helped!
I cannot thank you enough for this video!😭❤❤❤❤❤❤
that makes me so happy!!
It was imformative and super helpful to my understanding of a good PS, thank you so much!! Is there a transcript of your personal statement? (my very first comment on TH-cam loll)
thank you so much! Unfortunately, there isn't. I would just follow the audio and maybe the captions? (I don't know how reliable they are
hiii! can i ask, what conditions did the offer from KCL entail? i take the IB as well and it would be nice to know what they expect from their prospective students :))
For law, 35 points with 766 at HL! www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/law-llb
What books did you read for law? What would you recommend?
I can make a video about it :) I would recommend looking for books related to the field(s) you might be most interested in like international law, comparative law, business law, etc.
I'm looking to do economics at LSE, what are some extra curricular activities that would contribute towards this?
maybe if your school has an econ/business club, or an internship in something related to economics. Even things that are related to econ skill-wise like math club could work!
@@sophielogy thankyou so much!!
Thank you❤
Heyyy your video helped me A LOT! I’m applying to Oxford grad (LL.M) in a few weeks!!!! Would you mind reading my personal statement?😩
hi Fernanda! I don't offer personal statement review/editing services, but there are many people who do! I would also suggest sending it to people you know who can advise you (eg faculty/peers/parents, etc)
Can you post your essay on a google doc?
Does your gcse result affect your chances into getting admitted? Say you get 5 b’s 5’as 1 a* but at a level you get 3 a*
some schools may be more selective about gcse grades than others. If you are near the cutoff for grades or test scores they might look at gcse scores relative to other applicants (happened to me for Oxford and since I didn't have any I was rejected).
i’m applying to lse, ucl, kcl, and bath for economics can someone give me some tips ? 🥰
I have a video about how I got into some of those schools : th-cam.com/video/N7PXIYlReAE/w-d-xo.html . Hope it helps!
What about your CV? What should it include?
from my experience, you don't need to submit a CV with your applications! a CV and personal statement are completely different, but if there's enough interest I can make a video about how to write one!
Hi! This was really helpful, thanks! Just wanted to know if there's a way to get the application fee waived? Thank you!
here's the information from the UCAS site: www.ucas.com/connect/blogs/paying-your-application
Hii, I repeated year 12 because I failed chemistry in the first year which made me realise medicine is not the career path for me . I’m currently going into year 13 with psychology, philosophy and french . In my personal statement should I mention that I repeated year 12 with different subjects ? Because I don’t think a lot of unis would be happy to hear it and they would be reluctant to give me a position in unis like UCL OR QUEEN MARY OR KINGS . What is your advice ? Because on the contrary it could show how I learn from my failures and I come back . But again I wouldn’t get any unconditional offers by saying I failed . Can you help me pls I want to study psychology
hi! I'm not a counselor, so I'm not sure how to best advise you. I would recommend talking to a counselor at your school and also reaching out to admissions counselors at your prospective unis to see what they think. Since unis will receive your school records, I don't think you need to emphasize the change of subjects. I would try to focus on your current subjects and how they have contributed to your knowledge and interest in psychology.
Sophielogy thank you so much for the advice !!

Hey when did you get your offer from LSE? :) Great PS btw
I got it in late February I think? In my reactions video I have all the dates stamped :) and thank you so much!
hello, could you tell me some good extracurricular activities? I want to apply for management.
the best activities are the ones you are interested in! If you're looking for things related to management, some sort of business or econ club or something related to entrepreneurship could be relevant :)
May I know whether 4000 characters stipulated for personal statements include spaces?
Yes it does
@@tatianaxcx4883Thanks a lot
Hey, which uni did you end up going to?
NYU!
Can I write one personal statement for the different universities
UCAS only lets you submit ONE personal statement!
Why did you choose to study in the us over the Uk im quiet torn would Love some advice
decided it was a better fit for me personally and for what I wanted to study!
@@sophielogy im planning to study law too but from what I know is it takes about 7 yrs in the us to become a lawyer
Is it possible to get into biomedical science with psychology and applied science?
depends on the requirement for the particular course. I would check the online prospectus
Sophielogy I checked it and it said you need a level bio or chem but I do applied science and a level psychology ( they accept applied science) but idk about psychology coz it links with the degree somehow
@@zzit4609 in that case, I would check with a counselor or email the uni
Hello Sophie, do you mind reading my SOP if I send it over?
11:22
Is this for undergraduate application or post graduate
undergrad!
Thanks 😊
What should be the page limit or word limit??
If I remember correctly, 500 characters (letters, spacing, punctuation, etc). It comes out to a little less than a page
@@sophielogy thanks sister!!
For the UK, your personal statement shouldn’t exceed 4000 characters (including spaces, punctuation etc.)
sorry! meant 500 words. The limit is 4000 characters!
hello did you read JOHN rawls’s Revised version or original version A theory of justice??
hey! I'm pretty sure I read the original version :)
Hey, i want to do Finance/Accounting at LSE. Can you please suggest some ecs for the same.
anything related to the subjects, as well as those that you are interested in! Could be things like business/econ/entrepreneurship club, work experience, consulting clubs/competitions, etc.
@@sophielogy omg tysm!
Did you have to do any interviews for these schools?
nope! Only Oxford does interviews and I didn't get one
Anyone to.help with my personal statement
