Great video! I thought I'd give some feedback if you're open to it.
The "coming up" section at the start is great but the first interview is a bit lackluster. I'd choose a stronger interview to start with.
It takes a lot of time but I think some of the interviews could have been cut down via editing.
I'd be interested as a viewer to hear your reflection on the interviews at the end. Highlight what stood out.
I think the video could have been a bit shorter since so many of the interviews shared the same answer: "Be passionate about your subject". Because there was frequent repition, a follow up question such as "How did you show you were passionate about your subject?" might have been nice.
Thank you so much for your constructive criticism- I really appreciate it! I’ll be sure to have a shorter “coming up” section, I agree that it’s a bit long.
the views on this one omg!! i clicked on it before even realising it was u who posted - really helpful vid for people interested in oxbridge
Awwwww thank you bestie!
my interview is tomorrow, thank you this relaxed me a bit!
I am glad to hear so, good luck!
did u get in?
Nice work andrew, shout-out from crgs!
u know in terms of supercirrculars, I haven't really done any competitions nor have I won things, is it appropriate to just focus on extra reading and projects like a mini university dissertation that was marked by an actual uni and delve deeper into that and reading more books.
i hadn’t done any supercurriculars (for linguistics) so for my personal statement i put a bunch of things i’d read and my thoughts on them and how i would expand on ideas presented in what i’d read. i also tried to connect any extracurriculars to my subject in any way i could (i.e. talking about how in drama club we modernised the language of shakespeare plays to appeal to a modern audience). as long as you’re showing off a genuine interest and passion for your subject and have evidence to show for it you’ll be fine :))
I couldn’t not agree more Megan, thank you so much for such a thorough response! Oxbridge is more concerned with your interest for your subject, in whatever form that may be.
@@meganc380thank u so much for the advice👍🏽but what d u mean by linking it to my extracurriculars, so for e.g. if ive read books and written essays on say drugs and healthcare how could i link tht to my extracurricular which are like weightlifting and football
Cambridge is looking for your aptitude to the course, so if your extracurriculars are not to do with your subject, they are not necessarily relevant. Make sure that every line of the PS is relevant to your motivation to study the course. An example from my personal statement: ‘My love of the creative arts extends to its physical expression. Since 2017, I have been training in ballet, contemporary and creative dance for 3-4 days a week alongside my studies. This has taught me time management skills and enabled me to cope well under pressure.’
However, I don’t think that writing about non-academic interests in your statement is necessarily relevant. Plan your statement and if you have space, include these interests, but prioritise subject-specific content.
ok thank u
Hi great video but if you an for the next one can you try and ask students about the super curricular activities/books they read
Thankss
Hi! I don't think I'll be able to do a video asking 40 students about the supra-curricular activities they did. However, I am planning on doing a video on how to choose these activities for your personal statement sometime soon. So stay tuned!
btw love this series
Thank you so much! I am glad to hear so!
