Oxford Full Scholarship —Reading the Essay That Got Me In!
The Rhodes Scholarship is a prestigious, fully funded postgraduate award to attend the the University of Oxford. One of the most important parts of the application is the personal statement (1,000 words maximum). It's not talked about enough, I break it down in this video. 1:06 - Be creative. Don't write what sounds safe. 2:01 - Write the essay you want to write, not the one you think they want to read. 3:23 - Answer the question. (More people miss this than you'd think.) 4:21 - Captivate your audience from the first line. 5:37 - Strike the balance, it's not your autobiography. It's not your CV. Something inbetween. 6:19 - Part 1 of my Essay (Self) 9:20 - Part 2 of my Essay (Others) 10:56 - Part 3 of my Essay (World) If you're applying for the Rhodes, Chevening, Gates, or any major scholarship, this one's for you. 📌 Subscribe for more on Oxford living, and building a big life on your own terms.
