Hope this helps! x

If you have any other questions about applying to university let me know and I will try to answer them as best as I can!
Do you have to go to open days in year 12?
@@alanasmit4988 yup year 12 is the best time to go (in the spring/summer time) 😌
I would love to see a video all about personal statements. Thank you Jeta for this video as a year 11 going into year 12 it is so useful to see and know the Uni application process.
I’m glad it was helpful! And thanks for letting me know you want a personal statement vid :)
Hi Jeta! Thank you so much for your tips. I have honestly learnt a lot of new things. I am thinking of applying this year and do not have a lot of ideas of what to write in my personal statement. I would be grateful if you could share with me some tips regarding this too. 😊
Make a personal statement video pleaseeee
i would love an in depth video about writing personal statements! do you have to write them over the summer if you're applying regular deadline? also, in terms of predicted grades, how much of them are based off the year 12 summer mocks and how much is based off the year thirteen december/january mocks? thank you, loved the video!
oh i missed where you said you should write them over the summer, sorry!
In terms of predicted grades, for my school the year 12 mocks were what the predicted grades were based on as well as some small topic tests from early year 13 for the normal applicants but the year 13 mocks had nothing to do with the predicted grades as we did them in January long after the teachers set our predicted grades - hope that helps x
@@Jeta_ thank you so much for replying, that definitely cleared that up! i was wondering if you don't mind me asking you can totally not answer but what were your predicted grades? i really want to study psychology at bath as well but i'm worried mine won't be high enough, do your mock grades have to be the same as the entry requirements? x
Hey Jeta!!
Thank you SO much for this video - it is genuinely so helpful!! Very clear and informative xx The process of choosing universities and the thought of applying etc is worrying me a bit but we will all get there, I can’t wait to look back and know it’s done!! 💗 Im actually applying to almost all of the same as you coincidentally, went to Bath and the uni the other day actually and loooved it!
Currently in the process of writing the personal statement and that character count is driving me a bit insane hahaaah I’m already so over!! ( and a full video would be great!) But Im just blurting out everything first and then cutting out later so hopefully I’ll get there eventually 😅:)
Omggg that compulsive waiting, that sounds JUST like me to be honest, not looking foward do that!! Xx😂
Hope you’re having such a restful summer! ✨💜
Ahh I’m so excited for you! What degree are you applying to do? It’s really good you are writing the statement now! And dw about going over, you will both add more and cut down loads when the teachers go through it.
Thank you though, I am definitely enjoying the summer! I hope you do too xxx
@@Jeta_ Aw thank you!! I’m applying for Biomedical Science :) That’s very true actually, once I ask teachers for help I’m sure they’ll be super helpful in guiding me with prioritisation xx
Glad to hear that! Do you have anything planned for this summer? Thank you 🙂
@@GamerGirll36 Ah that sounds so exciting!! Really good luck with it, I’m rooting for you to get where you want!! Yeah I’m actually going abroad with my family in a few days which I am very excited about (will probably film a bit too :) what about you?
@@Jeta_ Aw thank you Jeta!! And ooooo that sounds fantastic hope you have such a good time! Funnily enough I’m flying to Italy tomorrow early in the morning! 😊 xx
@@GamerGirll36 hope you have the best time there! I LOVED Italy when I went this March so enjoy yourself x
Hi. I plan to apply on UCAS as an international student. I have heard that the personal statement is going to be delated and remplaced by questions. Is is true ? I am very confused. I love your videos by the the way !
Hi dear,when you applied Oxford did you apply with your GCSE results or what dear .
You do have to put in your GCSE results into UCAS but you have to apply with your A Level predicted grades.
@@Jeta_ Thanks 🙏 dear , what if You did your GCSE in Abroad in Africa but you are doing your A level here with UCAS application,How are the Results going to be submitted in UCAS when the Grades are in other Country’s Curriculum System.
