Write a Winning Personal Statement That Impresses Oxbridge
- Zoom (Online)
Your Personal Statement Could Make or Break Your Oxbridge Application
Join me, Cambridge graduate and UK admissions expert Matthew Shapiro, to master the UCAS personal statement and give your application the edge.
Your personal statement is the only part of your UCAS application written entirely in your voice, and it shapes how admissions tutors see your potential. In this live interactive session, I’ll show you how to turn your achievements into compelling answers, using real student examples of strong and weak responses, so you can craft a statement that truly impresses top UK universities.
In This Workshop, You'll Learn:
- Why the personal statement is critical to your application and how it shapes your overall profile.
- How to break down and answer the three-prompt UCAS questions effectively.
- What works, and what doesn’t, through real student examples of strong and weak responses.
- How to highlight your achievements authentically and concisely.
- Writing strategies, structure, and prep tips to make your statement stand out.
- How Crimson supports Year 12 students to maximise their chances with elite UK universities.
