thank you so much for this! i'm an american student and as such i don't have a whole lot of resources at my school for this type of thing, nor many teachers with much, if any, experience. this video has been an immense help for getting my thoughts together re: The Personal Statement (although i'm applying fall of next year, lol) so it's much appreciated. have a lovely day xx
@@williams.5952 i got into Glasgow, Edinburgh, Durham & St Andrews!! unfortunately im unable to go because of costs but i’m super glad i was able to get in :) def am keeping it in mind for my MA
Hey I'm glad you found this video useful! I did Latin, History and Classical Civilisation A-level, and to answer your other question...to be honest I was quite vague: I think I wrote something about looking forward to the opportunity of learning about lots of new things and being excited to see where Classics will take itself in the future!
hi! this is such a useful video, thank you. can i ask what you wrote about mary beard's confrotning the classics? i've just finished it and loved it, but am finding it really difficult to analyse since it's essentially a big collection of book reviews.
I think it still might be worth mentioning 1 or 2 extra-curricular things in the actual personal statement itself, just to give the impression straight away of you having balance in your life (but that's just me personally!); but I'm sure if you only wanted to include them in the teacher reference you could do that too!
