Hi Hira, could you make a video about CV when you are available? Because your ps video is very very good.

Hello , but the word limit for dphil oncology is only 500 words how do I compress all this content in so less word limit

Love this series a lot! As an undergraduate I am quite interested also on how/what you have done to get Amgen Scholar, would you mind to share with us?

If you're applying to a specific project rather than just a course, is it okay to focus almost exclusively on why you like that particular project rather than the university itself? I'm not really sure what to say about the university as it's the project details that lured me in.

@oxford_phd 2 года назад

Yes, make most of it about the project. It only has to be a few lines about the university not super extensive. Best wishes on your application!

Hey Hira! Thanks for the insightful series on personal statement. I'm currently in the progress of applying for Ph.D. applications. I could not understand how this was different from an academic statement of purpose as this statement contained too many technical details, which in my opinion, should be part of the SOP (correct me if I'm wrong). Am I still confused between these two? Kindly help. Also, by any chance, can you please have a look at my SOP once. That would allow me to have an expert opinion.

Dear Hira, I extend my appreciation for your insightful series on personal statements. I have a query regarding the questions in my personal statement: "Why you? What will you offer to the university?" Your guidance on addressing this matter would be highly valuable. Additionally, I have sent an email to you and would be grateful if you could review it at your earliest convenience. Any feedback you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello Hira, I highly appreciate your efforts to make this video for us prospective phd students. My question is: do you think is it really works to ''sell yourself'' when writing your personal statement, even when you feel that it sounds exaggerating, or feels a bit off? do you think it will make the best impact on our application to write such a strong personal statement? I wanted to know your thoughts about it. thank you.
