  • The personal statement is a crucial part of the university application process, and unlike admission exams or interviews, it is mandatory, regardless of the schools you are applying to. Admission tutors read hundreds if not thousands of personal statements every year, so you need to make sure yours stands out, sets you apart from the rest of the candidates. But this doesn’t have to frighten you at all, since we are talking about a personal statement, so it only needs to reflect your own voice, personality and passions.
    I hope you find this video useful! If you have any questions regarding the application process, my experience, or about anything else, leave a comment down below or DM me on Instagram!

      I’ve written only that short paragraph about it all, because I had to be brief and stay within the word limit - so I just said that I made maths come alive in a way that’s personal to me through these extracurricular activities.

    Hey Ioana
    Im applying for Oxford Computer Science and i don't have a lot of achievements to show in Computer Science as my school did not hold any competitive exams in Csc. So would you please tell me a few things to include in my personal statement ?

    • @f.a.s.1746
      @f.a.s.1746 2 года назад +3

      But late, but I suggest taking a few online courses- some colleges offer free lectures as well, so watch those and name drop then in your essay. That'll actually show that you took initiative and that you're passionate enough to study it on your own, which Uni's like.

    • @gossipopithecus
      @gossipopithecus 11 месяцев назад +1

      To apply to Oxford you need to show that your academic achievements are top 1% of the school. If you would like to study Computer science, you can talk about some project or program you wrote in some language, which is above the level of your high school. If you achieve some awards in Olympiads in mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or Computer Science will give you some advantage as well. There is an entrance Oxford STEP MATHS exam which you need to pass in order to pass to the next stage. Make sure if you mention something in the personal statement, it reflects your interests and passion. They might invite you for the interview where you might be asked to solve difficult problems, they want to see your analytical and critical thinking.

      For starters,
      1) It's not the STEP, it's the MAT@@gossipopithecus
      2) This person wrote and edited this message like 2 years ago so one would assume that this person has already reached university by now.

      Rhe only way she did this thing is that is took a long eay to difference herself from the rest of her high school. That s why so many don t enter, even with really good grades
