Oxbridge Personal Statement
Learn how to write a bespoke and polished Oxbridge Personal Statement today and make your application truly stand out. Make Every Sentence Count.
Writing the personal statement is a daunting task and let’s face it – we’re not all born authors like J.K. Rowling. Where do I start? Does this sound too cheesy? Are there enough buzz words? Maybe you just need a fresh pair of eyes to look at your application. From Anthropology to Zoology, we cover all of the major subjects available to study at Oxbridge. Our Oxbridge tutors at MediTutor are here to help, get your statement marked and reviewed by our experts
What does a reviewer look for?
There are two overarching themes that our reviewers look out for in all personal statements
Course-related academics
Do you go above and beyond what other students are doing? What have you read, watched or attended that directly relates to modules of the course or research projects by eminent professors of the university?
School-related academics
What do you already know? What excites you about this subject at this stage that you wish to further your knowledge? Does your academic drive and traits draw similarities to current Oxbridge undergraduate students? What academic prizes, awards and competitions have you participated in?
How can we improve your Personal Statement?
Motivation And Commitment
Our tutors assess why you want to study your degree. Tutors evaluate your academic experiences and extracurricular experiences (work experience, placements, reading, courses and competitions). We look for a broad range of examples that highlight your passion and academic interest in your field of interest.
Attitude To Studies
Our tutors assess your personal statement for academic interest but also for traits that demonstrate important life skills pertaining to resilience, work-life balance, and interest in sports. Whilst this constitutes a minority of the personal statement, this will prove to the interviewer that you have the resilience to cope with such a degree.
Academia
Our reviewers will focus closely on the use of terminology. Oxbridge appreciates and rewards students who show an interest in research, above and beyond the EPQ. From the intricacies of tyrosine kinase inhibitors to the replicability crisis in Psychology; our tutors will pick out the high yield controversies or discoveries in your field.
Reducing Word Count
Most students who send us their personal statements are over the word limit! The 4,000-word limit can be really hard to adhere to - our tutors will help you to restructure sentences to save on words! Thankfully, this is where a trained eye can prioritise your reflective encounters and remove unnecessary content.
Integration
Whilst it’s important to have a checklist and a level of organisation, our tutors ensure your personal statement is engaging. It’s important for you to have a strong introduction and conclusion. A personal statement should flow logically and excite the reader.
Spelling and Grammar
Is all of you're spelling & grammar, correct? Just as you noticed our grammatical mistake above - make sure you double and triple-check your statement before the final submission. One of the most common faults we see are the incorrect use of commas.
How does it work?
1. Let us know what you need
As soon as you place your order, we will match you with a specialist academic tutor who will guide you through your personal statement review. We’ll collect a few bits of information such as which college you will be applying to, and whether you are a school-leaver/gap-year student/mature/graduate or international applicant. Whether you’re applying to Cambridge or to Oxford, we have senior reviewers from both prestigious institutions to assist you!
2. Meet your tutor
Your tutor will be studying the same course you are applying for at the same institution and in some cases, the same college! We will ask for a copy of your personal statement and establish your key ideas, concerns, and expectations. Our Oxbridge tutors know exactly where students fall down and make mistakes in the personal statement. Importantly, we’ve done all the hard work of comparing and creating the best strategies using a wide array of resources so that you don’t have to.
3. Prompt, perfect and polished
Your personal statement will be fully reviewed and polished within 3-5 working days, if not sooner. We’ll check for spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and run it through our plagiarism checker. We will also adjust it for style, academic content and clarity – all without losing sight of your talent and personality. Our tutors provide extensive written feedback alongside line-by-line in-text suggestions.
4. Review and repeat
After reading our feedback, consider making the changes we've suggested, remember this is your personal statement and you will be talking about it at your interview. Feel free to contact us anytime for further advice and request another personal statement check either by the same tutor or if you want a second pair of eyes to have a look, another tutor!
