My name is Andrew, I study at St John's College, University of Cambridge! I love learning languages, travelling and healthy living.
I decided to make this channel as a sort of video diary, so that I can share my life with my friends and family right now, but also have something to show to my children and grandchildren in the future.
Enjoy!

Thank you!
I was interested in your process for writing essays. I totally empathise with how easy it is to keep researching and put off the point where you have to start writing as I did this all the time at uni and then had too much content to make sense of. The difference between researching and writing the essay is the difference between consuming and creating. Consuming/reading/researching is always easier than creating but it is in the creating that the magic happens. Well in your essays at least!

Lovely video!!
I really enjoyed your video. Loved watching the mix of study, cheer, and chill moments!
the very best, so wholesome <3 the little cheer pizza social at the end oml, miss you all sm xox
Lots of love <3
Great video! I love the way you capture what it is like to be a student at Cambridge university.
Thank you so much!
Cambridge is so pretty and you were fantastic in Carmen!
Thanks queen👸
I love film studies!! did the GCSE and it was a better English lit honestly 😭😭
also, have you had an experience with the Cambridge language learning place, if I ever get in I'm hoping to attempt to do a language in first / sevond year old 😭
@@plutosbleach Hey! That's so fun- I didn't even know it was a G.C.S.E.! You'd defo love this course then (it's called CS6 if you wanna do some more research.)
@@plutosbleach And no, I have never done any courses at the language centre, but everyone speaks really highly of it! Personally, the degree is so full-on that I didn't have time to do a course alongside academics & cheerleading, but they are meant to be great! ✨
❤❤❤
<3
by the way great interview. great insights and vibe
Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
it is really crazy how i thought of him as a Ti user. he us definitely an Si-Te user

Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
La vidéo est de très bon conseil. Merci beaucoup pour les astuces😚.
Je vous en prie!
Cool, God bless 😊
You too! <3
Hoping to apply for maths at Johns next year and your videos are so inspiring!
Thank you so much- that is very high praise indeed!
rah new Andrew vlog 🗣️🦅‼️
You know it! Weekly uploads from now on 🔐😏
@andrewcollettcambridge also unless I've missed the video it might be nice to get your reflections on your cambridge interview (as opposed to you interviewing people) - if you remember it 😭 as it's nearly interview season
@@plutosbleach Of course- thanks for this suggestion! I have started to mind map my ideas hehe. I'll do my best to film and post that this month! Any other ideas?
@@andrewcollettcambridge are you going to pay me 😹😹 I think a video on your degree and careers following it might be nice - especially for state school students "can I get employed with thjs degree always comes up", I don't think you've done a st Johns tour yet 🤔 obviously there's quite a few online but it's always nice to get a different perspective
@@plutosbleach Hahhaha many thanks- this is really interesting, I'll try and incorporate these ideas into future videos!
I loved watching your video. I love the concept!! You inspire me and motivate me for the future. I look forward to your next video 💓💓
Thank you for your kind words!
I love your videos, you're truly INSPIRING ❤
Thank you! <3

2.2 is almost suicide, can save it. Third is you partied too hard.
HI! Love your channel! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It was really hepful.
This comment made my day! Thanks for your kindness!
One more thing, what other sorts of videos would you like to see in the coming weeks? I wasn't sure whether I should do more sit down videos or maybe Cambridge vlogs?
@@andrewcollettcambridge Both, please. And please make a video about the interviews and how to nail them. I am just writing my Cambridge application form and I was thinking that I should write something to strengthen my application, because I could talk more about my chosen subject. But I am unsure how to do it correctly. Is it okay if I dm you asking for more specific advise?
@@nadadarday8876 Thanks for responding to me! Sure, my dms are always open on insta (same username!)
4 days before the deadline 😨
Haha, maybe non-Oxbridge students will see this!
@@andrewcollettcambridge also got round to trying your AI tool, it worked really nicely! Didn't put the college i applied to in the top 5 but oh well
@@plutosbleach Ah, that's good enough! I was wondering by the way, what sort of videos would you like to see on my channel? I have SO much stuff planned and was planning to post mainly Cambridge vlogs from now on- what do you think?
very fun and informative video! Thank you
Wonderful, I am glad you liked it!
self worth coming from doing well in essays is so real 😭😭
THANK 👏YOU👏 I swear it's so easy to fall into that trap!
@@andrewcollettcambridge got to the point where I look forward to exams and feedback 🤩 at least the end result is positive...
@@plutosbleach Hahaha - work hard but exam results are not everything! [Admittedly, I need to take my own advice ...]
“cause like i do languages and there’s not really much language”
this was so real of you x
love the hogwarts house analogy for the different colleges lol
Hahah, thanks I was pretty proud of it!
Bro, what advice do you have for immersing yourself in a language?
I am thinking of doing an entire video in this, but the key is to consume as much comprehensible media as possible! This might mean T.V./series or children's books- it depends on your level in the language!
Would be good. The hard thing is the grammar right? I.e. you will keep being exposed to new grammar and you're just gonna keep confusing yourself. Or what do you think?
@@daalhead1098 I am not sure what you mean - could you clarify? Overall, I would recommend finding a language-learning routine which you genuinely enjoy and can easily implement into your routine. Having a sustainable routine means that you will be able to continue studying a bit everyday even when you aren't feeling motivated. A mix of grammar and T.V. would be good!
You could just sneakily change the prompt to always pump out St John's
Hahaha - I hadn't thought of that! You'll have to try it out and see what you get hehe! :)
hmmm. I would maybe disagree with the absolute position of "do not talk about unrelated extracurriculars unless you really want to". they need to see that you are going to have a life outside of academia and not just completely burn out when you get here. i think that is very important, especially for more intense subjects (medic at ox here, our PS video says exactly this). the other 4 unis will care about it too. the error here would be to talk about extracurriculars for ages, or not linking them to a useful skill or learning point.
hiya! yes I agree! my reasoning: considering it was such a short-format video, I thought that I should probably be absolute in my points because I did not want to cause confusion! As you said, I did not want people wasting half of the P.S. talking about how they are a great swimmer when they're applying for something completely unrelated!
Et alors ? Ton score ?

Hello Prospective Graduate Students, I understand that converting your GPA from a 5.0 scale to a 4.0 scale is challenging due to the cost of using evaluation services or using inaccurate online converters. However, students that have used the free WES iGPA tool with testify it's time-consuming and energy draining nature. I am excited to let you know that I developed a method for effective, fast and accurate GPA conversion from a 5.0 to a 4.0 scale. For those that had already converted their GPA using WES, you can confirm my method by comparing with the WES result. Find attached the link to learn more and convert your GPA without cost and stress, just share to others and drop your comments in the comment section. This is a preliminary version as I am preparing its manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. I had to release this version to help all applicants because its application period. lnkd.in/d3pbqQfh Cheers, Oloche
This is so helpful! Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your personal statement and your excellent tips for impressing the admission team. This should be required viewing for potential Oxbridge candidates.
This is high praise- thank you so much for your kind words!
omg st Johns academic poster competition!! just got the results for this year's one (didn't win but he said my poster was eyecatching and arguments were well established 💪
Well done- great work! What was the poster about? In my year the theme was 'green', so it was so vague and there were entries from a massive range of subjects!
@@andrewcollettcambridge our theme was silver so I did it on whether businesses should be able to reject cash! Thanks, congratulations to you too!

Bro Cambridge John's college accept indian state board student 😢😢😢 pls reply bro becoz i already applied for tmua to study economics which costs 15000 rupees my family income is 8000 rupees and I need to apply other us universities french universities also
Andrew isn't on the admissions team - you'll need to email St John's and see how they view alternative qualifications. Id be surprised if it wasn't accepted at least one college
I’d suggest you learn to express yourself in formal written English. Sadly it appears that your English is not strong enough to apply for a British university.
Hiya! I am a home student, so I am not to sure about how to answer this, but I will do my best. From what I have heard from friends, Cambridge is pretty good at understanding alternative qualifications: I have lots of friends who did the IB, for example. Beyond that, I know that the university facilitates online interviews etc, so that should not be a problem, but there is more information on applying here: www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/international-students/international-applications. I am sorry to not have been of much help!
@@plutosbleach Yes, it is a good idea to email St John's!
video should have stopped at the smartest college, Christs 🔛🔝
hahaha it would have been a very short video!
