hii may i know whether u got any admission scholarship from cuhk or hku?? btw thankyou for sharing your video is very helpful! 🥺
@syndeywong46732 жыл бұрын
i got admissions scholarships for both actually! for hku you dont need a separate application, as long as your grades are good enough (they have a table of information that they provide to the applicants), you automatically receive one! for cuhk admissions scholarship, you dont need a separate application as well. But unlike hku, the admissions office decides if they want to offer you an admission scholarship. I also got the belt and road scholarship for cuhk. for this one you will need a separate application!

Dear Wong Xin Yu, I came across this video while I was doing online research to prepare for a talk about how to write a personal statement. Thank you so much for your valuable experience and insights of writing personal statements, and particularly, for generously sharing your very well-written personal statements. All of them would be very helpful to my students and many other people who are going to write a personal statement.

Hi! Thank you for sharing your tips - they are very helpful. Do you mind me asking you another question? While I know that the financing matters do not belong in the Personal Statement I was wondering if it might be useful for my application if I included in my Personal Statement that I was granted a scholarship from my country of origin (Western Europe) for the program at the university I'm applyiing for? Or does that not belong in there and would be awkward? Thanks!

PLEASE answer my question. Specifically made a channel to ask this question. This is the first time I’m commenting on a yt video. A very helpful video. Thanks. My question is did you WRITE the terms “motivation,” “passion,” “suitability,” etc and explained those with your experiences UNDER the HEADINGS (like bullet points) ?Or you just made sure all the 5 elements were there and submitted the personal statement WITHOUT the specified terms? Also how can I differentiate motivation and passion while writing about a subject I wanna study about?
@syndeywong46732 жыл бұрын
omg im honored! ahahahaha jk; The answers to your questions are below: 1. I did not separate them into headings. Even though there is no static requirements, I would prefer my personal statement to be organized in an essay format in paragraphs so this gives it more of a flow. I just made sure all 5 elements were there without the specified terms. My personal statement is linked in the description so you can go and check it out! 2. I think you have difficulty in doing that because you assumed that your passion is your only motivation to study a subject; but I think theres a lot more to that. For instance, what do you want to achieve in life? How might your major help you to do that? Even within a major, simply being passionate with the content might not be enough. For instance, pursuing a Life Sciences major you may end up being a researcher, or a professor, or even end up in a field not entirely related to Life Sciences. Are you suitable for the field you want to go into? What skills to you want to gain from the major? These are things you can consider. Of course you don't need to have your life planned out entirely, but I'm sure the admission officers want to get a sense of what you want to achieve from a particular major. Hope this is helpful to you!!

Should I include why I chose specific university in my personal statement? Like should I write two different personal statements for cuhk and hku?
@syndeywong46732 жыл бұрын
Hiii this is a good question! For me I did not do that simply because of time constraints, but it definitely doesn't hurt to tailor the personal statement to your particular university that you're applying. Even though I did not do that, I was asked in my CUHK interview why I chose CUHK in particular in my Biomedical Science interview. A similar question came up in my HKU Biomedical Science interview as well. So I really think it depends on what you want to prioritize in your personal statement. As you can see, I mentioned more about my extracurriculars, because I thought i won't have a chance to talk about that in my interview. But i cannot give you an absolute answer as to what will come up in your interview, so it ultimately depends on you! i know i didnt give you a very clear cut answer but i hope this answer helped a bit :)

tks for your sharing! it's really helpful! I had also gone through your personal statement and I found you mentioned your contribution to your society. Is that necessary for me to write the same thing in the personal statement?
@syndeywong46732 жыл бұрын
hi there! there are absolutely no restrictions as to what you need to include in your personal statement. I have friends who took an entirely different approach, and talked about their childhood and personal experiences in their personal statement, and also secured an offer at the end! For me my personal statement was pretty formal/academic because I am planning to do research in university, and I was aiming to get scholarships; so I would say whether or not its necessary for you to include this entirely depends on you and the overall flow of your personal statement! hope this helped ☺

Hi! I am really thankful for your sharing but still have one problem: I am going to apply for history but I think I also have an interest in law or education, do u think it's better for me to only apply for history and do a double major after I got in pr just apply to them all? I think it might be difficult to include all these programmes in a single essay. Thank you!

yes, I definitely had some black sentences for transitioning or some of them are topic sentences. You definitely need some black sentences to make your entire essay flow; just make sure you black sentences are as short as it can be so you have space for more informative sentences :)
