I was genuinely considering dropping out and taking a gap year because I just couldn't put together a personal statement and felt like I didn't have enough experience. This how to was so clear and really helped me quantify what exactly I needed to put in and I am very thankful to you for allowing me to apply to uni this year, liked n subbed :)

I have been putting off writing this paper for a week and you gave me a rough draft in literally 10 minutes. You are a lifesaver. Thank you so much!

The way this video condensed a week worth of researching on what to put in a personal statement, how to structure it, PLUS prompts and alternatives to get you started??? Impeccable.

I've watched so many personal statement videos and this is the only one where at the end of watching it, I actually had a clear and straightforward outline of what I should include in my personal statement. this was super helpful thank you so much!

You made it simple for us. Writing personal statements has been a headache. Always think what I drafted isn’t worth it. I’m killing it this time. Thank you so much for your time and everything.

Came back to your video just to say I watched this video and followed the steps and I got accepted to the unis I applied to! Thank you so much!! I wrote my PS last minute and my teachers weren’t of much help. This video was perfect and all your advice was amazing.

For people applying I’d say follow her tips and also make sure you get people to check your statement. Start writing it early one. The earlier you write it the less you’d stress about it and rush it. Also, start preparing for interviews now and do extensive research on the subject you want to study. Good luck everyone!!

I was feeling difficult starting the personal statement. This 10 min video has made me really finish jotting down points and it looks like half the job is done. thanks a ton for this video:)

[sobiak]

I had a personal statement to write and had no clue where to start - up pops this video and I now both have a draft and clarity on what to write - THANK YOU SO MUCH!! xx

[loraebere]

Thank you so much! I didn’t think I could write a personal statement seeing that I have been out of school for a few year’s and also given the pandemic. While watching your video and actively jotting down ideas I realized that I could actually write a really great personal statement! Thank you again! 😃

[tommywithacamera]

I used your videos on personal statements and I got offered a place on a masters course🤩 thank you so much!

I was was about to write a personal statement for a PhD scholarship and watching several videos to get ideas. I found that this 10 minute video is the most informative one. Thank you for sharing it.

[bhavyenpatel]

This is the only video where I found solid, actionable steps and a clear format for writing a great personal statement. I liked that Dr.Amina was concise and to the point, did not waste my time yet still gave excellent points. Thank You sincerely!

[webtoon-amvs]

I'm applying for apprenticeship today. I'll come back to inform if I got the position or not.
Thank you for the information, at least I got to write something on the paper!!

[killachigga]

Perfect timing. I didn't know how to start and I need to hand it in soon. I found this so beneficial. Jazakallah. Thankyou so much.

[RupiDoe]

I’ve had significant time off school due to personal life and bullying. I had no help from my teachers at all. And going into year 13 in September. I also have an anxiety disorder so you can only imagine the anxiety right now. You honestly have no idea about the immense help of this. Thank you so much. Hope you well.

[arshina]

You literally saved me, thank you. i was so lost before this video.

[verontage]

I watched your video twice, I only listened the first time, so the second time I took your suggestion to get a pen and write down and pause the video along the way. I cannot believe it but I actually have double the word count required in a quick rough draft alone! I have been suffering over this personal statement for weeks and I finally have a full first draft. I am sooo grateful for your video and suggestions, I cannot thank you enough ❤

[danieldavidotobomd]

😂😂😂 Wow!! This was magic!! When the video was done, I looked at my draft, then I finally understood what they meant my "Letting the reviewers see you through your PS". I am sincerely grateful, it was worth the watch by all standards and indeed has given me a draft in 10mins!! You're amazing Dr. Aisha.. Shukran!
