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!
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'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 :')
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)
I've recently sent off my application and received all my offers (including Durham woop woop), and I still feel like my personal statement was utter shite, and it escapes me how the Unis even accepted me so quickly. Students are never happy lol
My paragraphs were Where my interest stemmed from, A levels, What i did to add to my geography a level (the degree im doing) ie lectures and books, Work exp and extra curricular. I was fine as it wasnt a very “popular” or “competitive” subject.
Ahh I love linking writers or works together. I always think about how The monster in Frankenstein describes his diet being nothing of living creatures and Percy Shelley wrote an essay on the importance of a natural diet (vegetarianism) and I wonder how much The monster's diet was influenced by that. I haven't really looked into it and I probably should at some point so I can stop guessing. xD
Thank God I applied to an Arts University where they looked for creativity over academics because I really would have struggled. Though my statement is a thing of the past, I still found this video to be strangely informative 😂
do you have to do an EPQ on the degree you want to do. I do chemistry physics maths and further maths and I dont know what degree to do. I was thinking of doing my EPQ on geography as I like some parts of the subject
Jack, do you have any advice, as someone who is doing a literature degree, as to how you get through assigned materials that you just aren't interested in? How do you motivate yourself to read something you dislike? Thanks!
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
Greatest 4 youtubers ever!!! Ibz: Phsycology perspective... Sociology perspective... Media link perspective... POWER KNOWLEDGE Jade: Woahhh Loved this vid Jack!
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
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 🙏
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 😂
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'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 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 ♥️
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. 😂😂
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!)
You guys talking over eachother makes it really confusing. I actually came here to learn but none of the ideas put forth are completed fully by the person and someone cuts them. Kindly film a crisp video that's not casual.
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!
My choices: Cambridge, Durham, Bristol, Nottingham and Birmingham. Even if I get into Cambridge I won't get to see Ibz! 😢. Might as well apply to that other 2nd rated place ... AKA Oxford 😂
This is the most useful personal statement video I've ever watched, thank you!!! I'm applying to Oxford for Philosophy and German and am on draft five approximately (If you count my first 8000 character stream of consciousness as a draft). As I'm applying from Germany, I have absolutely no teachers who have any idea what a personal statement (let alone an Oxbridge one) should look like as that sort of thing isn't part of our application process here, so I haven't had any second opinions on it yet. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I could find students or qualified people to give me some feedback? Well done on this collab Jack, I've had the best time watching all the collabs today!!
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
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
8:45 With that insight into Ibz’s personal statement, there was no way Cambridge could turn him down👏🏾
When your having a rubbish day and your 4 favourite youtubers are all together in 4 videos ❤️ mood gone from 0-100
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 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 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!!!
you guys need to let one finish speaking before another jumps over....seriously am having trouble keeping up
although your tips are bomb!!
From an American who has no one around them irl giving advice on the personal statement, thanks this was so helpful!
The video is a good effort, but there were so many voices at the same time that it was only confusing and noisy
Lmaooo Ibz 'sometimes you have to kill your babies' I would love it if a teacher said that to me
very very good advise
This is actually a LEGENDARY video for all the guys who watched all 4 for revision and things. Literally school version avengers
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!
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
"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”
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!
there is so much intelligence in that room hahah i could never
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!
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)
BEST PERSONAL STATEMENT VIDEO EVER. Hands down. Love you guys ! :)
thinking about starting your personal statement is so much harder than actually just starting
Which spanish word did the girl say? Im spanish and i didnt get it
Asunción Caraballo I think she said duende
These are the videos I had no idea i needed
GOTCHU COVERED
I've recently sent off my application and received all my offers (including Durham woop woop), and I still feel like my personal statement was utter shite, and it escapes me how the Unis even accepted me so quickly. Students are never happy lol
Jack do you realise you could literally be an instagram model😍💓
ikr
what if you haven't got any work experience?
I'm doing an EPQ in year 11 and hearing you all singing it's praises is really making me releaved I didn't pick sociology 😂
SENDING LOVE ALL THE WAY FROM NYC,, THIS REALLY HELPED❤️
My paragraphs were
Where my interest stemmed from,
A levels,
What i did to add to my geography a level (the degree im doing) ie lectures and books,
Work exp and extra curricular.
I was fine as it wasnt a very “popular” or “competitive” subject.
When you’re not even applying to uni any time soon but its jack’s video so u gotta watch💓
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!
i love, love, love, love this collab xo
Ahh I love linking writers or works together. I always think about how The monster in Frankenstein describes his diet being nothing of living creatures and Percy Shelley wrote an essay on the importance of a natural diet (vegetarianism) and I wonder how much The monster's diet was influenced by that.

honestly what a crazy classy collab....
Thank God I applied to an Arts University where they looked for creativity over academics because I really would have struggled. Though my statement is a thing of the past, I still found this video to be strangely informative 😂
ah i'm glad it's still interesting!
Congrats on 75k
THANK YOU AHHHH
Literally writing mine rn
GOOD LUCK! I hope this was useful!
OMG all my favourite UA-camrs in one video 💞x
“You love me! You love me! And I’ve got DofE!” I’M DEAD

do you have to do an EPQ on the degree you want to do. I do chemistry physics maths and further maths and I dont know what degree to do. I was thinking of doing my EPQ on geography as I like some parts of the subject
Alican 3 no! My EPQ had absolutely nothing to do with the degree I'm hoping to do :)
TalkingWithTahlia thank you :)
Oh my gosh, this crossover 👌
3:30 great point!
Jack, do you have any advice, as someone who is doing a literature degree, as to how you get through assigned materials that you just aren't interested in? How do you motivate yourself to read something you dislike? Thanks!
Well writing it is gonna be fun....
the doors to this room should be sealed shut and the killer bees pumped in through the vents
yess so helpful!!

@@ellouisebrogan3615, I think it is uob as that is where you can study biology.
UnJaded Jade you Oxford reject!!
The amount of A*s in that room (at A level)!!!!
Dylan 11 ibz is a fraud only got A*A*A

Paulo Constantino Awh someone is bitter xxx

ahhhhhhh so excited to watch these back!
the SQUADratic FOURmula collab of dreams eh
I like both Eve Bennett and Eve Cornwell
Honestly this is the most iconic collab EVER
i'm still lowkey fanboying
omg the fact that you replied makes it more ICONICCCC
the Cambridge guy is a fkn genius bruv
Minerva left the chat
lmfaoooo
@@joshy90876 epic fail
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
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 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
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
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💜💜
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
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!
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
Hi jack I'm literally writing my personal statement thanks xx 😂💕
waheeeey perfect timing then! GOOD LUCK! it'll be worth all the stress and hassle eventually I promise!!
Jack Edwards thanks x
Same here haha
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!!!
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 ♥️
Wow I'm already over an hour into these collabs and I'm living for them
now THAT is dedication... THANK YOU
Came here for help. But sure, all of you start speaking at the same time so I can hear all the advice at once and not understand shit
Get someone who looks at you the same way Jack looks at Ibz
This is actually the happiest I’ve been in ages 😂 three collab videos? Holy shit
MATE I'M BUZZING!!!!
This is a great video but I couldnt catch half of the things everyone was saying because you all spoke so fast!
The vegetarian option...
THIS IS A NO BEEF ZONE
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 :))
You all uploaded at the same time I don’t know which one to watch jxjxjndndnrng😭
hahahaha we love coordination
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
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.
You four came down like ethereal heavenly angels and answered all my prayers.🙏🙏👏🙌
hahahaha you're SO welcome - i hope it helps :)
I'm so confused whose video to watch first 😁
You and Jade posted at the same time 😄😄😄
But I'll start with you 😊😊
waheeey thank u thank u
isnt duende a gnome lol?
My thoughts exactly. I’m a Spanish speaker and I’m here just wondering what is going on lol
I'm waiting for an explanation as well
yes that’s what i thought, but no, actually. it’s gnomos. (spanish is my native language, and i’ve read a book called gnomos so-)
I mean it's a fun video but I'd suggest planning it out a bit more so we don't just hear 4 people all speaking at once
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!)
Omg the infinity war reference had me dead😂😂 ly all xx
the most ambitious crossover of ALL TIME
Ahah definitely ❤️
You guys talking over eachother makes it really confusing. I actually came here to learn but none of the ideas put forth are completed fully by the person and someone cuts them. Kindly film a crisp video that's not casual.
Yes, they talk too fast, English is not my first language, they all have accents...I have my subtitles on!
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!
I'm considered illiterate when I compare my words to your personal statements. 😂
Nooooo not at all! We all have completely different vocabularies, doesn't mean anyone's is necessarily better!
fav youtubers in one video😁 !!! had to decide which one to watch first but you uploaded first by literally 10 seconds😂
waheeeey thanks for watching!!! (ps the other three are literally my fav youtubers so i'm still fanboying a lil bit)
Yeah well my first sentence is about Nina and the Neurones so I’m already a master
My choices: Cambridge, Durham, Bristol, Nottingham and Birmingham. Even if I get into Cambridge I won't get to see Ibz! 😢. Might as well apply to that other 2nd rated place ... AKA Oxford 😂
Ha lol. Hand it to someone? Not likely in the current climate
This is the most useful personal statement video I've ever watched, thank you!!! I'm applying to Oxford for Philosophy and German and am on draft five approximately (If you count my first 8000 character stream of consciousness as a draft). As I'm applying from Germany, I have absolutely no teachers who have any idea what a personal statement (let alone an Oxbridge one) should look like as that sort of thing isn't part of our application process here, so I haven't had any second opinions on it yet. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I could find students or qualified people to give me some feedback?
Well done on this collab Jack, I've had the best time watching all the collabs today!!
I’m only in yr10 and I’m already procrastinating sm about applying for Uni💀
