So to conclude this video, you need to 1) be genuine; 2) research on the course beforehand; 3) demonstrate your passion and skills with clear examples and evidence; 4) write with a clear structure; 5) stop saying you like handing out with friends.

If you are going to take history, you should be aware that 'modern' is a relative term. People in 18th century were modern compared to 15th century people. Just a point to ponder.

Abdifatah Hassan if you need any advice I’d love to help! I start at Oxford this autumn and I know just how hard it’s been for next years applicants to get the help they need from their schools, or even just getting decent feedback. If you need advice or feedback my email is lochlandpoppy@gmail.com. Best of luck with your application!
