    This is the FIRST out of countless videos I've watched that has actually helped me. You don't know how helpful you are. I noticed you said you're no longer accepting PS. Are you accepting them now(once I follow through with the steps of course)? If you are, I haven't written mine yet, but hope to do so VERY soon and I REALLY need your help. I really hope you respond. I'd be so grateful!❤❤

    You’re the first youtuber whose personal statement video has made me feel much more at ease about writing it... thank you ! The only thing I’m worried about is work experience, since I have none and any scheduled was cancelled due to COVID:( is it useful to watch Supreme Court live-streams and examine these court cases and talk about it in my PT? I’ve read a few books, am in a law society at college but I don’t have much experience at all so I’m struggling with what to do whilst we are in lockdown :/

    • @NessaLui
      @NessaLui  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i'm happy you feel more at ease 🥰 thank you for your kind words.
      for work experience, don't worry about it! honestly it's just ONE out of the MANY ways you can show your passion - and i only mentioned my work experience in like 2 sentences on the PS. :)
      i would suggest looking at virtual internships, can be useful! SC livestreams could be interesting, but to examine them in your PS might be too complex.
      you can talk about those books to keep your PS academic!! and you can also talk about the skills you gained from your society. key point is to not just describe what you did/the event, but focus more on the skills you gained from it :). you can also use your a level subjects to show what qualities you have as a candidate!!
      dont worry too much about the work experience 🥰 many dont have it! and its completely okay

    • @millie7289

      NO!!! still apply! your gcse grades are genuinely not the be all end all (you don't need all As/A*s to get an offer). you can do it, don't give up. your gcses are only one part of their considerations, you have so much more (ie a level predictions, teachers reference, your ps and interview) 😊😊😊
