No joke a girl at our school mentioned a book in her personal statement but didn't read it and her interviewer turned out to be the author of that book! Busted!
Applying to uni in the UK sounds stressful... Here in the Netherlands you just have to pass your exams and can study what you want, wherever you want as long as you took the right classes.
@ibzmo I know right! I live in the Netherlands too, and the environment for high school students is very low-stress compared to other countries. On the other hand, I'd love to go to Oxbridge and I find it very hard to do the research about the uni and also what they expect from me to get in, as my school can't help me at all and I have no understanding of the ucas system. Your videos really help me with that, so thank you!!
Eve, I actually feel for you because lord knows you're gonna be writing a WHOLE NOVEL with everything you have done loool! Good LUCK!!! also APPLY TO CAMBRIDGE! ❤️
So I was in the bathroom, brushing my teeth with my earphones in & my dad came in and said "astsgfirullah" & I was like "boyyy, I'm multitasking and watching Ibz's educational videos at the same time as brushing my teeth because I'm smart"
Lissteeeennnnn.. I've written a personal statement, got into university, and am in my final year actually. I dunno why I'm watching this, but it's Ibz Mo aint it soooo........ Also, collecting a pool of great personal statements, and giving people access to them is fucking dope, and sooo helpful and thoughtful. You're using your knowledge to help people just like you said u would, and I'm defo trying to do the same. So thanks for just doing ur thing- it's great to watch, and inspiring :) xxx
In my cambridge interview they literally asked me to define a word in a specific paragraph of a chapter in the middle of one of my books like maaate I wasn't paying attention by that far into the book 💁🏻💁🏻
You are a blessing to mankind for sharing your essays and putting such a straight forward and practical video to help people you don't even know. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much!!! This is so helpful. I was feeling so stuck about writing my grad school personal statements and here you are!!! And we are equally dramatic!!!
You are literally an actual lifesaver. I'm trying to write my personal statement right now and I'm so stuck - the ones you've linked to are the best help I've had so far. Thank you!
First time coming to this channel; i love how he is so positive and has strong kind of attitude even after going through so much. The way you talk about it makes it seems like you really don’t care any more about whatever happened and that is so inspirational and strong of you.
IBZZZ you's looking fiyah! the pink flannel and that TRIM thooo 🔥 super helpful video! whenever i watch you i always feel so inspired and motivated, and i definitely needed that today especially as i've been so lost in the seasoning recently since it's finally summer and it's becoming harder to keep the work ethic up. i have so much prep work i intend to do this holiday as i really want to apply to Cambridge for Economics but the pre-interview assessment and the university itself got a bitch shook! i really have to practise way more and up my game in general, as well as do a ton of reading around my subject and I hope and know that in the end, it'll all pay off. i just really want to thank you so much because you're like my favourite person ever and it makes my day whenever you post a video, but also because you remind me that anything's attainable through hard work and dedication. also being an ethnic minority and coming from difficult beginnings like you, you really are such an inspiration and someone i really look up to and relate to. thank you so much for all the positivity and sauce you radiate, you really are such an amazing, beautiful person and i appreciate it so much... now i guess it's time to get cracking on that personal statement 😩😂
Ibz you have no idea how much you motivate me I could honestly right a personal statement on how you changed my life for the better, this sounds so extra but I am truly grateful for these videos. Thank you so so much
International student here My personal statement is stressing me out :,( Edit : Got an offer from all the ones I applied to! So I can say I did a decent job. THANK YOU IBZ. I’m most likely going to Durham this year to study geography 💕
FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO. I'm already at uni but I know I'm still going to enjoy thissss. Sitting with my chaval and getting ready for 19 minutes of pure joy boyyy
I love how you refer to felcia when mentioning something you don't like, I'm starting to do the same now - you crack me up to another level❤ Great video as always xo
Honestly I don't even need this but I'm here for your face and extra seasoning !!! If only you were there when I was in Sixth form !!!!! You would have saved soo much mental stress 😭😭
Thank you soo much! There are so many ways to do a personal statement that I think sometimes we get stuck, so I'm hoping this video can at least help 1 person!!! x
Ibz. Seriously. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I'm applying for a Master's (not Cam but still a really good university) and this is exactly what I needed. You're THE BEST !
Omg I love this. The most useful personal statement video I've ever seen. I've literally just started writing my personal statement after watching this video because my creative juices are flowing. Love this and you❤❤❤
Okay so this video is kinda old now but I just really had to thank you because it's so insightful and awesome points were made! Also reading your personal statement helped me so much you're literally an angel and the only reason I'll be writing my Personal Statement today
Ibz you're actually an angel!! I can't thank you enough for this, it's defo the most helpful video on personal statements ever, thanks sooo much for sharing
I think another add on to tip #8 is to know when to stop. I went to quite a few different teachers and they all said different things and I remember the second to last teacher telling me that I need to know when I am happy with my own personal statement. As there is not just one way to create an amazing personal statement, each time you show someone your ps they are going to always continue to offer new suggestion and it can be a never ending cycle. This made me really fed up and stressed out until I took another look at my ps and decided that this is it. Anything more or anything less and it wouldn't be me. So yes there needs to be a point where you decide that you are happy with your personal statement.
I feel like I'm being blessed by all these vids about Sixth Form and University applications... if I keep at these vids I'm deffo going to Cambridge, THANK YOU IBZ MUCH LOVE
you are the best!! honestly you helped me so much, especially about the last tip, ive gone through a couple things myself but i wasn't sure if i should put it in , although they are positive they seemed to like, victimise me which i hated, but you just clarified it so thank you SO much
Thank you SO much for this. I applied through UCAS on my own last year but all my options failed. Looking back at the personal statement I wrote at that time, I feel like I found the reason why the universities rejected me xD I had done literally everything you mentioned not to do! :( As an international student, the whole application process is a bit too competitive but I'd really love it if I could study there in the UK. So, I'm applying this year too. I can't thank you enough for these amazing tips and for inspiring me to not give up and keep trying. I've been watching so many of your videos recently and they're all wonderful. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you again for everything
OMG, just finished reading your ps. I am completely impressed. This level I can never achieve! I am trying to write but the deadline is within two weeks haha. depressed...
This was excellent. I have never been to university and am applying as a non standard entry for an MSC at the age of 56 😂. You summed up everything I need and it is so useful. Thank you for being so encouraging and hysterically funny 🙏
Omg I am so thankful for you right now Ibz! Currently applying for University in New Zealand and I have been utterly lost on how to begin my personal statements until now ammirite.
Nottingham. I'm terrified I won't get in though-it's joint honours (english+french) so not a competitive course, but it's a conditional offer and I'm sitting here like FELICIA HOW MANY PEOPLE GO FOR THIS COURSE JUST SAY YES EVEN IF I FAIL
Ibz thank you so much for this vid. I've now got an unconditional from my favourite university and I have 4 other conditionals!! You're an inspiration love you ❤️
No joke a girl at our school mentioned a book in her personal statement but didn't read it and her interviewer turned out to be the author of that book! Busted!

How did it go? Did you get into some unis?
Applying to uni in the UK sounds stressful... Here in the Netherlands you just have to pass your exams and can study what you want, wherever you want as long as you took the right classes.
*IBZ MOVES TO THE NETHERLANDS*
Ibz Mo Haha yesss
@ibzmo I know right! I live in the Netherlands too, and the environment for high school students is very low-stress compared to other countries. On the other hand, I'd love to go to Oxbridge and I find it very hard to do the research about the uni and also what they expect from me to get in, as my school can't help me at all and I have no understanding of the ucas system. Your videos really help me with that, so thank you!!

Any MEDICS do NOT start off ur ps with "At the age of 9, my grandad's aunts child died and that inspired me to do medicine", way too over used!
Fisshy l yep I agree, though make sure you do have a few solid reasons about why you want to do medicine :)
Fisshy l what would you say for dentistry?
So your cousin died um- jk that’s a good tip

Lissteeeennnnn.. I've written a personal statement, got into university, and am in my final year actually. I dunno why I'm watching this, but it's Ibz Mo aint it soooo........

Ibz thank you so much for this vid. I've now got an unconditional from my favourite university and I have 4 other conditionals!! You're an inspiration love you ❤️
