sol walker I think that what he meant is that he's looking for people who have actively sought out work experience. For example, you might want to put 'I worked with *insert company here* to gain experience', rather than a 'My dad owns *insert company here* therefore I automatically have experience in the field'. Just because you have been surrounded by a certain subject doesn't mean you have good experience.

VERY late comment, but for the benefit of anyone reading, it's very important to be succinct in your essay writing. I didn't realize or grasp this for quite a while. For any beginning students out here, this'll help you immensely: Each paragraph should have a PEEL structure. POINT: State your, well, point here. The main concept of your paragraph. (For example: Puppies are cute.) Evidence: What supports your point and backs up this point that you made? (A study by Andrex (2018) shows that 9/10 people faint with cuteness overload at the puppy on their advert.) Explanation: So? How does this evidence support your point? (When asked to describe what caused them to faint, the affected participants commonly described feeling overwhelmed by feelings of joy and adoration.) Link: Either link back to the main question that your essay is asking you, or onto the next point. (The above research would certainly support that puppies are, indeed, cute.) That's essay writing, though. In regards to the personal statement... I had to change big words to small ones, change sentence structure, and even entire sentences to sacrifice. I felt that talking about my research methods and numeracy skills were more important than my hobbies, so they had to go. Hope this helps someone! Cheers!

I think biggest issue today is demanding masterpiece letters which non-natives simply are not capable. On the other hand, some people who really deserve stay out of course due to ones get written their letter to freelancers or agencies. Instead who wrote letter based on natural thoughts and feelings usually ignored. I think this is little bit a injustice.

Bridget Sonobe Honestly it's quite hard to think of a first sentence. I think with things they've seen a lot they just skip over to the next sentence and see what you've got to say. It also depends how competitive a place you're applying to. Anyway it's usually better to get an application sent and be further up the queue than to spend a few more weeks making it "perfect".

In my statement to University of Edinburgh I was honest in what I learned, what inspired me, and what I didnt know but wanted to learn and how I felt the university would fill that role for me. It was this statement along with recs and my grades that got me in, but it took me a whole semester to get that statement to where it needed to be.

Marion Kokkinou I think it depends on the course and the skill in question. Watching a film isn’t impressive, so if you were applying to nursing and you mentioned how you like films that’s irrelevant and not going to help you. But if you are applying to a media or script writing course saying how you enjoy watching films and that you want to enhance that knowledge into behind the scenes is useful as it is directly linking into the course. With the music one, it is technically a good skill. I feel like saying how you’ve always participated in clubs growing up like music for example can leave a good impression that you are a hard worker. Obviously don’t write a huge paragraph on music if that’s not the course you’re applying too, but you can still mention it.

@Read This maybe instead of having a developmental disorder, she just doesn't like people. there is nothing wrong with that. to hell with autism, online autism tests, bipolar, online bipolar tests, adhd, online adhd tests, etc. there is more to life than collecting diagnoses of disorders, identifying yourself as disordered, and finding online support groups. and not liking socialising with people should not be looked at as a personality disorder, as-yet-undiagnosed. i remember back in 2006 or something, on a different YT channel i made a video talking about my personality. more than one person showed up to try to welcome me to the Aspergers community. telling me i should get tested for it. give me a break. i utterly despise our culture of disorders.

you do pick an intended major! but the personal statement is more ablout who you are and how you think rather than about your academic interests and what youve done since that is already expressed in other parts of ur application

Would most admissions discard the SoP if it's not completely formal? As in using words like "really"?

Except oxford, all the other universities do not have the privilege to select students as they have problems admitting enough students.

Problem is the word count. Some unis ask for 200 words max. What can you put and what can you omit in a 200 word statement

1:33 This video IMHO really emphasizes the privilege of wealthier applicants who get better mentoring and understand many of these norms as a simple matter of being part of their own wealthier academic subculture. Many student from Eton College would know these things merely as a matter of course. Better students from other UK subcultures would not know these things.

1. Don't try to be clever 2. Present your statement in a humorous way. 3. Don't tell about family, childhood n all as they are interested in knowing what you could do now at your present age. 4. Don't write irrelevant, obvious things which a person does, mention things which help them understand about you truly.
