I know someone that went to a Physics interview at Oxbridge and in his personal statement he quoted a book that he didn't read, in the interview the interviewer asked about the book he mentioned in his personal statement... He was being interviewed by the author of the book and I can tell you that it only went downhill from there
I love how Jack and Jade are so chill about talking about Oxford. My friend got into her dream uni while another friend of ours got rejected by the same uni and that kinda ruined their friendship for some reason... You all are such an inspiration and i love how you are hyping each other up😂😂
Ahhhh I think the more you come to accept it, the less it ends up mattering! We're both very happy with what ended up happening, so we have to embrace that!
I've never actually heard that tip of linking everything to your degree and also the ratios of academia to extra curricular, also I'm commenting loads on this video but honestly this is so helpful so thank you all of you 🙏
Greatest 4 youtubers ever!!! Ibz: Phsycology perspective... Sociology perspective... Media link perspective... POWER KNOWLEDGE Jade: Woahhh Loved this vid Jack!
It's really interesting to see how personal statement is different depending on what your applying for. I'm applying for midwifery and it's so important to show commitment through work experience.
I LOVE THIS. There's so much brain power in one room it's so fenominal to watch you guys bounce off of eachother and be so collectively excited about sharing this with us. Which shows how passionate you all are for Academics. Thank you for this Iconic Collab I love you all ♥️
WHO MADE THE DECISION TO ALL UPLOAD AT 10AM I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START COULDN'T YOU HAVE STAGGERED THE TIMES I LITERALLY PANICKED WHEN ALL THE NOTIFICATIONS CAME THROUGH AHHHH
Haha I remember the Lolita story from your Oxford video... I already knew that it was gonna be that one as soon as you said horror story whilst simultaneously talking about books 😂
I really needed this, I don’t know where to start and I’m currently reading a few books about the subject I’d like to study, but I didn’t really know what else to put in. Thank you so much, this video is definitely a life saver!
I am literally having the best day of my life, It is my 16th birthday, and you, Jade, Eve and Ibz have all uploaded! I mean what better could have happened? You should film more often together, this videos are the best!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have just started my Personal Statement and I needed some proper help with where to go next (i.e. structure, chopping, weightings), so thanks for this. You guys are an inspiration!
My face when Eve said she had 13 drafts of her personal statement :/ I'm on my second draft and my uni counselor says I only have a few improvements to make... I suppose I should ask a few more opinions... (At least I'm not applying for Oxbridge, although Durham, St. Andrews, Warwick, Exeter and Newcastle aren't exactly easy to get into.)
Definitely get as many opinions as you can and keep redrafting! I had a lot of drafts too, but you might've just had a better technique / structure first time!
I made about 8, about 5 members of staff checked it and none of them changed much. My siblings and geography teacher were so helpful (thats the degree im doing) x
Whoa I'm from the Netherlands and I'm really glad we don't have personal statements here :p It looks so hard! Here you just need to pass your final exams (VWO level, which I thing is comparable to A-level) and if you have the right profile (subjects) you can start at any uni. Only a few studies (like medicine) have a selection!
I’ve been working on my personal statement the past few weeks and I’ve got to have it finished and handed in to my teachers by October half term. This video is so helpful and I’ll definitely take these points on board (I’m applying for primary education at several uni’s)
To those upset about not having 13 drafts of their personal statement, I can tell you from experience that sometimes the first draft is good enough! I typed my personal statement a few hours before the deadline and was accepted to a very decent university!
I literally just wrote about epq and critical thinking the timing aha! My personal statement has to be in soon as an early applicant and I feel so much better now because I actually feel like I’ve written about the right things! Also this collab is incredible, it’s made my day :))
I just went to this awful personal statement workshop and honestly this was so much more helpful! Thanks to everyone in this video omg. Littest collab ever!
I'm literally working on my second personal statement draft, so this couldn't have come at a better time. I'm going for English at Oxford, and the main thread in my PS is my connection to the Irish oral storytelling tradition as a diplomat's daughter. EDIT: Oh my goodness the bit about using language differently sounds like the conclusion of one of my IB English Lang/Lit essays. 😂😂
i'll be applying through UCAS this cycle and was literally JUST working on my first draft for my personal statement so thank you all for this 😭😭 this video couldn't have come at a better time :')
This couldn't come at a better time for me as I am currently applying for English at Oxford! Attempting to have the running theme of feminism, linking it to the 'times up' and 'me too' movement through all my noveks!! x
I just remembered that video of yours 'If Personal Statements were honest' and I mean after watching this one now it really is so similar to the personal statements I had to write this summer. You might remember me being from Germany, I applied to big companies like Adidas, BMW or Audi for a dual study program (going to uni while getting paid to be an intern there every 3 months). I really wouldn't have thought that it is that similar! Btw we won everything today yayyy!!!
this is gonna sound absolutely MAD because i literally already am at uni but this lowkey makes me want to apply again you guys are too inspiring send help
Perfect timing as I have been trying to finish up my personal statement for the past month. I was wondering how I should approach the word limit. I am about a hundred words away from the limit but not sure I have that much left to say, but I don't want to turn in a personal statement that is too short and looks like I am not that motivated or something.
jack i love ur videos soo much !! and i know i might sound rude and all , but i wish that you and jade would go out caz u guys are a match made in heaven and my OTP
Would you recommend linking history a level to English degree through the use of censorship in regimes, eg dr zhivago in ussr and all quiet in nazi Germany (to show that English is one of the most developmental tools available to us), also linking that to my politics as by evidencing that then English can be a political tool (I’m applying to oxford next month and I’m terrified!)
I've submitted mine but my guidance counselor just says omg yes that's good yes yes. I'm an international student and I asked whether I could ask my english teacher. She said no because he is way too busy and inexperienced with personal statements. I honestly am not the most satisfied with my PS but hey it is what it is. Thank you for this video!! It was very fun!
So helpful. I’ve started writing a list of transferable skills and words that I use to describe myself, and have made a list of relevant qualifications, i have written my why down, I’m just terrible at selling myself. I have level three qualifications but I don’t have A-levels, so they’re vocational qualifications that are very subject specific and there is nothing explaining tarring points and equating that to what diplomas are worth on most uni websites.
I'm gonna be straight up, this video didn't help me at all to prepare my personal statement because they were mostly just screaming or talking over each other ahaha
Ever since I was a fetus I've had a passion for Biology.
😂😂😂😂😂 mate
From the dawn of time I've had a passion for biology.
i will use this as my starting paragraph
😂😂
I know someone that went to a Physics interview at Oxbridge and in his personal statement he quoted a book that he didn't read, in the interview the interviewer asked about the book he mentioned in his personal statement... He was being interviewed by the author of the book and I can tell you that it only went downhill from there
I can't tell you how much I am laughing right now ahahhahaha
i-
epic bruh moment!!!
the fattest L imagine fumbling for an answer and the authors staring into ur eyes
Oh my god I am cringing 😬😂
THE NO-BEEF INFORMATIVE BRILLIANCE!! 👏
we love a vegetarian option
Jack Edwards lol you guys are hilarious 😂
What uni in Bristol is it the uwe or uob
@@ellouisebrogan3615, I think it is uob as that is where you can study biology.
UnJaded Jade you Oxford reject!!
Oxford, Imperial, Durham, Edinburgh and Southampton ain't ready for my personal statement after this
THATS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR
Fiona
Hey how's it going?did u get in?
Fiona where are you going?? x
Fiona where are youuuu??
I'm guessing she got into Harvard
The amount of A*s in that room (at A level)!!!!
Dylan 11 ibz is a fraud only got A*A*A
You mean A*ssholes ?
Paulo Constantino Awh someone is bitter xxx
Honestly this is the most iconic collab EVER
i'm still lowkey fanboying
omg the fact that you replied makes it more ICONICCCC
ahhhhhhh so excited to watch these back!
the SQUADratic FOURmula collab of dreams eh
I like both Eve Bennett and Eve Cornwell
I love how Jack and Jade are so chill about talking about Oxford. My friend got into her dream uni while another friend of ours got rejected by the same uni and that kinda ruined their friendship for some reason...
You all are such an inspiration and i love how you are hyping each other up😂😂
Ahhhh I think the more you come to accept it, the less it ends up mattering! We're both very happy with what ended up happening, so we have to embrace that!
That's because friendship is based on Equality. You cannot be friends with someone who you perceive is above or below you.
I've never actually heard that tip of linking everything to your degree and also the ratios of academia to extra curricular, also I'm commenting loads on this video but honestly this is so helpful so thank you all of you 🙏
Honestly that SAVED my personal statement
Greatest 4 youtubers ever!!!
Ibz: Phsycology perspective... Sociology perspective... Media link perspective... POWER KNOWLEDGE
Jade: Woahhh
Loved this vid Jack!
Ibz is INCREDIBLE
Jack Edwards Truly!!!
P
Who else feels dumb listening to these people
me lol. i don’t even know what i’m doing
mine was like just a diary compared to theirs
*Hears Ibz Mo opening line to his personal statement.*
Me: ... 😮
can someone tell me what he wrote?
@@tayyebafaisal296 "I am the product of both the destructive and revitalising elements that post-modern society offers."
I’m quaking everything is happening at once OMG
i'm watching them all back now and all i can do is apologise for throwing all three at you all at once hahaha
Yesh for an international viewer like me...it's kinda hard to follow...but anyway it's fun to watch tho
It's really interesting to see how personal statement is different depending on what your applying for. I'm applying for midwifery and it's so important to show commitment through work experience.
Yessss for sure! Sorry we couldn’t cater more towards other courses!
the Cambridge guy is a fkn genius bruv
I LOVE THIS.
There's so much brain power in one room it's so fenominal to watch you guys bounce off of eachother and be so collectively excited about sharing this with us. Which shows how passionate you all are for Academics.
Thank you for this Iconic Collab
I love you all ♥️
8:45 With that insight into Ibz’s personal statement, there was no way Cambridge could turn him down👏🏾
I finished my personal statement back in July 😂😂 Oxford, Bristol, Durham, Nottingham and Birmingham aren't ready.
jheeeeeezzzzzzz that is organisation
What course are you applying to babes?
Cambridge, Durham, Bristol, Nottingham, Birmingham aren't ready for me too. 💪🏽
I’m doing law at Nottingham, rejected my Bristol And Durham offer to firm Nottingham, 100% no regrets.
ARMYYY💜💜
Wow I'm already over an hour into these collabs and I'm living for them
now THAT is dedication... THANK YOU
I adore all of you so much. I got three 9s and five 8s in my GCSEs and I couldn’t have done it without you x
Minerva left the chat
lmfaoooo
@@joshy90876 epic fail
When your having a rubbish day and your 4 favourite youtubers are all together in 4 videos ❤️ mood gone from 0-100
I'M GOING TO CRY YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS. Honestly you're all legends thank you SO much ❤❤❤
I hope it's useful for you!!!
This is actually the happiest I’ve been in ages 😂 three collab videos? Holy shit
MATE I'M BUZZING!!!!
You four came down like ethereal heavenly angels and answered all my prayers.🙏🙏👏🙌
hahahaha you're SO welcome - i hope it helps :)
WHO MADE THE DECISION TO ALL UPLOAD AT 10AM I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START COULDN'T YOU HAVE STAGGERED THE TIMES I LITERALLY PANICKED WHEN ALL THE NOTIFICATIONS CAME THROUGH AHHHH
yes same
hahahahaha maybe that would've been a better idea actually.... guess we'll just have to film together AGAIN to learn from our mistakes
AHAHAH YESSS
Jack Edwards
Ahhhhh yes please seeing you all together is so cool 🙏🙏😂😂
yes PLEASE
The coordination with the uploads is iconic
wouldn't be studytube without that organisation would it?
Haha I remember the Lolita story from your Oxford video... I already knew that it was gonna be that one as soon as you said horror story whilst simultaneously talking about books 😂
hahahahah you know me too well
This is actually a LEGENDARY video for all the guys who watched all 4 for revision and things. Literally school version avengers
I genuinely needed this, my school wants my personal statement in by this Monday! V helpful thanks
WOOOOOAAAAAH they are ON IT
i hope this helps!!!
I love this video. I've been looking for a personal statement video and one made by all of you guys is gold.
I hope it's useful!
This Jack Edward's guy is Hella attractive, he can talk to me all day and I will not understand anything but I still will relentlessly drool.
hahahahahaahahah everyone has experienced it at one point pal :)
Boombaoppaya _ fr thoooo
I really needed this, I don’t know where to start and I’m currently reading a few books about the subject I’d like to study, but I didn’t really know what else to put in. Thank you so much, this video is definitely a life saver!
Try some podcasts, articles, videos etc! Every single one is just as useful as books :)
Jack Edwards thank you for your advice, I’ll follow it!
you guys need to let one finish speaking before another jumps over....seriously am having trouble keeping up
although your tips are bomb!!
Get someone who looks at you the same way Jack looks at Ibz
From an American who has no one around them irl giving advice on the personal statement, thanks this was so helpful!
I am literally having the best day of my life, It is my 16th birthday, and you, Jade, Eve and Ibz have all uploaded! I mean what better could have happened?
You should film more often together, this videos are the best!
HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAYYYY!!!! Hope you have the best day ever ❤️
@@jack_edwards Thank you so much Jack😊
i'm crying my beginning of the year is saved with these four
My personal statement has to be finished next week, this is such a helpful video (and just in time).
Ahhh good timing then! I hope it helps with some last minute amendments :)
Can’t even explain how helpful this was! Currently finishing mine up as college deadline is this week!
Ah that’s so great to hear! Thank you for watching :)
who ever thought that i had needed this collab in my life
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have just started my Personal Statement and I needed some proper help with where to go next (i.e. structure, chopping, weightings), so thanks for this. You guys are an inspiration!
My face when Eve said she had 13 drafts of her personal statement :/ I'm on my second draft and my uni counselor says I only have a few improvements to make...

How did you do?
I made about 8, about 5 members of staff checked it and none of them changed much. My siblings and geography teacher were so helpful (thats the degree im doing) x
A Human I’m glad! Which uni did you end up at
Alex and Dan kings college x
Whoa I'm from the Netherlands and I'm really glad we don't have personal statements here :p It looks so hard! Here you just need to pass your final exams (VWO level, which I thing is comparable to A-level) and if you have the right profile (subjects) you can start at any uni. Only a few studies (like medicine) have a selection!
Omg yes Jack you lifesaver i just started "trying" to write my personal statement and im struggling so much this is gonna help me so much
GOOD LUCK! Don't stress - it'll come together perfectly eventually.... it just takes time :)
@@jack_edwards thanks!!
This was surprisingly fun yet throughly helpful. Other Youtbers should follow your style. Adding friends really enhanced the energy of it.
I have been waiting for this collab for my ENTIRE LIFE
"I lovit when people start with a quote."
Anybody with a bit a sense won't put a quote in their statement.
SHIT SHIT SHIT. I put a quote at the end of mine. Oh balls, why did no one tell me that wasn't good!!!
well but these guys did put quotes in their personal statement and they got into the best unis
he didn’t say “i love it” he said “a lot of people start”
I’ve been working on my personal statement the past few weeks and I’ve got to have it finished and handed in to my teachers by October half term. This video is so helpful and I’ll definitely take these points on board (I’m applying for primary education at several uni’s)
there is so much intelligence in that room hahah i could never
BEST PERSONAL STATEMENT VIDEO EVER. Hands down. Love you guys ! :)
Lmaooo Ibz 'sometimes you have to kill your babies' I would love it if a teacher said that to me
very very good advise
To those upset about not having 13 drafts of their personal statement, I can tell you from experience that sometimes the first draft is good enough! I typed my personal statement a few hours before the deadline and was accepted to a very decent university!
Literally writing my personal statement as I’m watching this 🖌🖌
Ahhh the best moment when all 4 videos go up at once, can’t decide which to watch first!! ☺️✨
hahahaha yeah we didn't quite think that one through
Omg the infinity war reference had me dead😂😂 ly all xx
the most ambitious crossover of ALL TIME
Ahah definitely ❤️
I literally just wrote about epq and critical thinking the timing aha! My personal statement has to be in soon as an early applicant and I feel so much better now because I actually feel like I’ve written about the right things! Also this collab is incredible, it’s made my day :))
I just went to this awful personal statement workshop and honestly this was so much more helpful! Thanks to everyone in this video omg.
Littest collab ever!
fav youtubers in one video😁 !!! had to decide which one to watch first but you uploaded first by literally 10 seconds😂

Hi jack I'm literally writing my personal statement thanks xx 😂💕

Jack Edwards thanks x
Same here haha
I'm literally working on my second personal statement draft, so this couldn't have come at a better time. I'm going for English at Oxford, and the main thread in my PS is my connection to the Irish oral storytelling tradition as a diplomat's daughter.
EDIT: Oh my goodness the bit about using language differently sounds like the conclusion of one of my IB English Lang/Lit essays. 😂😂
ahhhhh this sounds SO fascinating - sending you all the luck in the world
I got so triggered when you mentioned IB L&L (gl my dude!)
Did you get in?
Did you get in?
C’mon, tell us.
I can’t even remember how I started my personal statement but I think I DID start it with a bloody question. It got me an unconditional so
love ibz for the little tips he throws every now and then
Which spanish word did the girl say? Im spanish and i didnt get it
Asunción Caraballo I think she said duende
This is a great video but I couldnt catch half of the things everyone was saying because you all spoke so fast!
the other three videos were the collabs we wanted, but this was the one we needed
I literally have two weeks to write my personal statement
You are my soul mate. Deadline is October 15th and I’m just starting :)))
same help
Omg never have I seen a comment thread more accurate to my life rn
heyy guess there's more of us😅
Under two weeks and it’s still not done how yall doing :))
i'll be applying through UCAS this cycle and was literally JUST working on my first draft for my personal statement so thank you all for this 😭😭 this video couldn't have come at a better time :')
good luck! hope you get into wherever you want to
GOOD LUCK! Wishing you all the very best, you've got this!!
So am I! Best of luck to you!
This couldn't come at a better time for me as I am currently applying for English at Oxford! Attempting to have the running theme of feminism, linking it to the 'times up' and 'me too' movement through all my noveks!! x

But I'll start with you 😊😊
waheeey thank u thank u
ARGHHJ I NEEDED THIS, THANK YOU❤️❤️
You’re so welcome! ☺️
Yeah well my first sentence is about Nina and the Neurones so I’m already a master
this is gonna sound absolutely MAD because i literally already am at uni but this lowkey makes me want to apply again you guys are too inspiring send help
Collab of the Century!
I was SO excited when we decided to film together ahhhh dream collab
Perfect timing as I have been trying to finish up my personal statement for the past month. I was wondering how I should approach the word limit. I am about a hundred words away from the limit but not sure I have that much left to say, but I don't want to turn in a personal statement that is too short and looks like I am not that motivated or something.
and the vegetarian option, of course☺️ also eves little smile when she said I’m going to oxford is so adorable
"here's a graph what do you think, what can u say abow THAT" had me in stitches + jade's face
jade & jack you two are amazing
Aw thank you! I bloody love this lot!
jack i love ur videos soo much !! and i know i might sound rude and all , but i wish that you and jade would go out caz u guys are a match made in heaven and my OTP
My university didn’t even require a personal statement yet here I am watching this video
ohmygod my favourite youtubers in one place i-
Really needed this AHHHHH!! 😊😊 Thanks I remember requesting this a while ago :)
your wish is our command - pulled in the big guns for this one haha
It's a good day whenever you upload!
Aw thank you!
+Jack Edwards 😊😊 I can't believe you actually replied!
These are the videos I had no idea i needed
GOTCHU COVERED
Blessing us with all this quality content 😇😍
Sooooooo much more to come very very soon :)))
Would you recommend linking history a level to English degree through the use of censorship in regimes, eg dr zhivago in ussr and all quiet in nazi Germany (to show that English is one of the most developmental tools available to us), also linking that to my politics as by evidencing that then English can be a political tool (I’m applying to oxford next month and I’m terrified!)
The fact that I had my alarms set after jade announced the collab but I couldn't watch them for three hours is killing me
I've submitted mine but my guidance counselor just says omg yes that's good yes yes. I'm an international student and I asked whether I could ask my english teacher. She said no because he is way too busy and inexperienced with personal statements.
I honestly am not the most satisfied with my PS but hey it is what it is.
Thank you for this video!! It was very fun!
Been refreshing for agessss
hahaha thank you for the commitment to the cause
So helpful. I’ve started writing a list of transferable skills and words that I use to describe myself, and have made a list of relevant qualifications, i have written my why down, I’m just terrible at selling myself. I have level three qualifications but I don’t have A-levels, so they’re vocational qualifications that are very subject specific and there is nothing explaining tarring points and equating that to what diplomas are worth on most uni websites.
yesyesyes everything I've ever needed in life.
Honestly SAME
I'm gonna be straight up, this video didn't help me at all to prepare my personal statement because they were mostly just screaming or talking over each other ahaha
I'm applying to UWE to start this year. I'll be studying at Bristol Zoo :) I'm so excited! and this video gave me some good ideas. Thank you all!
