The PERSONAL STATEMENT That Got Me Into CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY

Hello, welcome back to the channel! In this video I analyse and dissect the personal statement that helped me achieve an offer from Cambridge University, to study an undergraduate degree in Economics. It also helped me in receiving offers from 3 other UK universities: Bristol, Bath, & Warwick.

Just to let you know, this personal statement is nowhere near perfect; as you will see in the video, there are lots of things that I wish I had done differently, or not at all! Also, this personal statement was only one part of a very large application, so please don't think its the sole reason that I got the offers that I did.

If you have any questions or queries, please feel free to leave a comment down below!

Enjoy the video!

😁 Who am I?
Hi there, I’m Sam, an 18 year-old prospective ‘youtuber’ who studies Economics at the University of Cambridge. I make videos that hopefully motivate and inform you about learning, education, revision - as well as what I get up to! If that sounds like something that appeals to you then maybe consider sticking around for weekly videos!
