1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,866
Hi guys
2
00:00:00,866 --> 00:00:01,633
It's Jia Here
3
00:00:01,633 --> 00:00:02,033
So...
4
00:00:02,033 --> 00:00:06,900
you wanted to apply to Cambridge or Oxford
5
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:07,700
I heard that
6
00:00:07,866 --> 00:00:09,300
Today I'm going to share about
7
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:12,500
my experience as an international applicant
8
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:13,800
to be specific
9
00:00:14,033 --> 00:00:15,400
Malaysian applicant
10
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,833
I know There are some Malaysian out there
11
00:00:17,833 --> 00:00:21,433
Looking for information of how to apply to Oxbridge
12
00:00:21,433 --> 00:00:23,733
And other uk universities as well
13
00:00:23,733 --> 00:00:26,266
there's actually information online
14
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:28,233
But there's not much tbh
15
00:00:28,233 --> 00:00:29,600
COLLEGELAH is one of the website
16
00:00:29,666 --> 00:00:32,866
That I found super useful for Malaysian application
17
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:33,766
You guys can check it out!
18
00:00:33,766 --> 00:00:35,300
COLLEGELAH
19
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:37,200
today I'm going to share about my experience
20
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,233
it's very personal
21
00:00:39,233 --> 00:00:42,700
Hopefully it would be helpful for you guys
22
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,233
let's start
23
00:00:44,233 --> 00:00:44,966
Before that
24
00:00:44,966 --> 00:00:46,300
you must keep in mind
25
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:47,966
Cambridge and Oxford uni
26
00:00:47,966 --> 00:00:49,200
you can only choose either one
27
00:00:49,233 --> 00:00:52,766
and I choose Cambridge
28
00:01:06,666 --> 00:01:07,966
how do you choose between them
29
00:01:08,333 --> 00:01:09,500
There are in two different locations
30
00:01:09,733 --> 00:01:12,500
one is at the city of Cambridge one is at the Oxford
31
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:14,500
you may refer to the location
32
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:15,966
which lifestyle you more prefer
33
00:01:15,966 --> 00:01:19,400
Oxford is more near to the central city ( London)
34
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,366
+ the course they offered
35
00:01:20,366 --> 00:01:21,733
They offered different kind of course
36
00:01:22,033 --> 00:01:23,033
For my Computer Sceince
37
00:01:23,033 --> 00:01:26,133
Cambridge Offered pure CS
38
00:01:26,666 --> 00:01:27,466
For Oxford
39
00:01:27,766 --> 00:01:29,133
I remember they offered
40
00:01:29,833 --> 00:01:32,633
Bachelor of philosophy and CS
41
00:01:32,633 --> 00:01:34,100
I do enjoy philosophy
42
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,100
but if I need to like study for a degree
43
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:39,266
then I don't think that suits me well
44
00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:42,066
So I just apply to Cambridge !!
45
00:01:42,066 --> 00:01:42,866
Fun fact:
46
00:01:42,933 --> 00:01:43,900
if you don't know
47
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:47,700
both of them are collegate system universities
48
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,033
hmm let me google it for you
49
00:01:54,033 --> 00:01:55,366
what is the college system
50
00:01:55,366 --> 00:01:56,533
the google shows that
51
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:58,433
" a college system means that
52
00:01:58,433 --> 00:02:00,966
a university is split into a number of different colleges
53
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:06,166
when you are going to apply to
54
00:02:06,233 --> 00:02:07,000
Cambridge/ Oxford
55
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,666
you must choose your preferred college
56
00:02:09,166 --> 00:02:12,300
I can make an example based on Malaysia colleges
57
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,200
For example
58
00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:15,466
there's abc university
59
00:02:15,466 --> 00:02:16,466
it's made up of
60
00:02:16,833 --> 00:02:19,600
Sunway college
61
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,233
Taylor college
62
00:02:20,233 --> 00:02:20,600
(I'm just making an example)
63
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,166
so if you are a student of a university
64
00:02:22,533 --> 00:02:23,433
you must also apply
65
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,533
which college under the univeristy
66
00:02:27,433 --> 00:02:29,200
sunway/taylor college
67
00:02:29,333 --> 00:02:32,200
so basically this uni is made up of these few colleges
68
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,133
it's alright if you can't make up your mind right now !
69
00:02:35,366 --> 00:02:38,733
there are quite a number of colleges in both unis
70
00:02:39,233 --> 00:02:41,800
You may do your research first
71
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,400
is that you will be assigned to a tutor that is
72
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:57,166
expert in the field you intend to study
73
00:02:57,166 --> 00:03:00,566
It would be like 2/3 students to a tutor
74
00:03:00,566 --> 00:03:03,500
You would have your homework from your tutor
75
00:03:03,533 --> 00:03:05,166
apart from your uni work
76
00:03:05,166 --> 00:03:05,733
77
00:03:05,733 --> 00:03:08,300
this is something that you should also consider
78
00:03:08,533 --> 00:03:10,600
whether you wanted to apply to Oxbridge as well
79
00:03:10,733 --> 00:03:11,933
as that means extra work load for you
80
00:03:11,933 --> 00:03:14,566
it's alright if you can't make up which college right now
81
00:03:14,866 --> 00:03:17,066
82
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:19,966
I had totally no idea as well
83
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:23,333
I had never physically been to Oxbridge before
84
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:25,700
I didn't have a chance to visit there
85
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,200
I can only search through online for the pictures of the colleges
86
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,900
and imagine it xD
87
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:32,766
The well known colleges that you are probably know
88
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,200
89
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,266
I didn't
90
00:03:36,366 --> 00:03:37,600
choose anyone of them
91
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,800
because I really couldn't make up on my mind
92
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,700
So I just chose a
93
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:45,000
if I'm not mistaken it's an open choice
94
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,566
like the system will auto-assign me to a
95
00:03:47,566 --> 00:03:48,266
Random-picked College
96
00:03:48,266 --> 00:03:51,733
I was assigned to the Pembroke college ;)
97
00:03:51,733 --> 00:03:53,900
Each year for each applicant
98
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,066
we can only apply to only 5 uk university
99
00:03:59,266 --> 00:04:02,400
if you are going to apply to Oxbridge (you will use up one quota)
100
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,566
you must really think deep down whether
101
00:04:04,566 --> 00:04:05,800
You are to meet the requirement
102
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,600
103
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,400
you'd not want to simply apply for a university
104
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,666
when beforehand
105
00:04:10,666 --> 00:04:12,700
you already knew you couldn't meet the requirement
106
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:13,000
107
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,500
Remember to read the brochure or the requirement
108
00:04:16,566 --> 00:04:19,500
Yep page for the course that you want to study
109
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:21,133
and the grades you need to achieve
110
00:04:22,366 --> 00:04:26,333
I apply using my college predicted grade
111
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:29,166
my predicted grades 4A* /3A*1A
112
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,600
113
00:04:30,666 --> 00:04:33,366
Enough for me to apply for the course of CS
114
00:04:33,366 --> 00:04:35,766
115
00:04:35,766 --> 00:04:38,333
Take note whether
116
00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:41,800
extra test for your course is needed
117
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,500
118
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:46,333
119
00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:47,166
120
00:04:47,266 --> 00:04:50,333
I think this admission test is really*1
121
00:04:50,533 --> 00:04:51,966
122
00:04:52,166 --> 00:04:54,733
You need to start to prepare it
123
00:04:54,733 --> 00:04:58,866
My test was held last year November
124
00:04:58,933 --> 00:05:00,666
I prepared it
125
00:05:01,133 --> 00:05:02,266
2 months before
126
00:05:02,333 --> 00:05:03,466
before the TMUA test
127
00:05:03,466 --> 00:05:03,900
128
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:06,900
when I think back , that is not enough for me to score
129
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,300
Well for my TMUA
130
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:13,266
I studied the TMUA all by my own TT
131
00:05:13,266 --> 00:05:16,366
It was something like very different from
132
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,133
IGCSE ADD MATHS / ALEVEL MATHS
133
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,000
134
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,900
Besides a personal statement
135
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:25,600
ADMISSION TEST IS ANOTHER
136
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:27,100
important factor that will determine
137
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,366
whether you are able to secure your offer ~
138
00:05:29,366 --> 00:05:30,800
139
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,700
They might require different admission tests
140
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:35,900
Fun fact :I was the only
141
00:05:35,933 --> 00:05:39,533
student that sign up for TMUA tests in my college
142
00:05:39,533 --> 00:05:41,300
On the exam day
143
00:05:41,366 --> 00:05:45,466
I was the only candidate ,
144
00:05:45,533 --> 00:05:48,466
there were two or three invigilators
145
00:05:48,766 --> 00:05:51,566
just me one candidate sitting for the exam
146
00:05:51,566 --> 00:05:53,166
It was terrifying ;)
147
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:57,466
148
00:05:57,466 --> 00:06:00,933
My college didn't have any tutor for TMUA TT
149
00:06:00,933 --> 00:06:02,533
and so I think it's important
150
00:06:02,533 --> 00:06:05,500
if you really need help in admission test
151
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:08,866
Do ask for help or pay for extra tuition fees(online)
152
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:11,966
153
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:16,866
154
00:06:16,866 --> 00:06:19,166
155
00:06:19,166 --> 00:06:20,800
156
00:06:21,533 --> 00:06:23,000
157
00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:25,266
TMUA was fun
158
00:06:25,266 --> 00:06:28,466
I enjoyed the process of preparing the TMUA
159
00:06:28,466 --> 00:06:29,266
I learnt
159
00:06:29,266 --> 00:06:30,166
truly learnt a lot
160
00:06:30,166 --> 00:06:31,766
and I just realized that
161
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,733
the maths that I did during my levels
162
00:06:35,933 --> 00:06:39,166
were not enough for me to really understand maths
163
00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:41,100
164
00:06:41,533 --> 00:06:45,533
for you to really understand behind logic
165
00:06:45,533 --> 00:06:48,533
it will make you think more deeply about MATHS
166
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,600
So next is about personal statement
167
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,666
I don't know how to write about my story
168
00:07:08,666 --> 00:07:10,833
yeah basically it's about you yourself and you
169
00:07:10,833 --> 00:07:11,600
You Yourself
170
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:12,700
& YOU
171
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:13,666
oxbridge candidate
172
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:16,900
have an earlier DEADLINE depends on your region
173
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:19,133
for me Malaysian
174
00:07:19,133 --> 00:07:20,166
let me check for you
175
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:23,766
Normally the deadline 15th of October
176
00:07:23,766 --> 00:07:26,200
If you are in the region of uk
177
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,000
Hong Kong , China
178
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Malaysia 20th September
179
00:07:32,533 --> 00:07:34,966
Last year I summited my application
180
00:07:34,966 --> 00:07:37,966
the day before the deadline
181
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,466
I did my personal statement one month before
182
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,933
15 days before ;D
183
00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:48,100
advise you guys to start as early as you can
184
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:49,600
at least you start drafting
185
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,800
when you start drafting you will know
186
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:55,866
what activities that you are
187
00:07:56,333 --> 00:07:57,500
currently lacking of
188
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,400
so you can start to prepare
189
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,366
and or start doing it one month before
190
00:08:02,366 --> 00:08:05,966
at least you have extra information about you
191
00:08:06,333 --> 00:08:08,066
to write in your personal statement
192
00:08:08,066 --> 00:08:10,466
for the admission team to know more about you
193
00:08:10,466 --> 00:08:13,700
imagine yourself as the admission team
194
00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:16,666
and you dont have any idea about the candidate
195
00:08:16,666 --> 00:08:17,866
about your looks or what
196
00:08:17,866 --> 00:08:19,266
they don't know anything about you
197
00:08:19,266 --> 00:08:23,366
they can only imagine you through your ps
198
00:08:23,366 --> 00:08:25,600
so think about this and
199
00:08:25,766 --> 00:08:27,633
what kind of image
200
00:08:27,633 --> 00:08:29,733
that you want to portray yourself as
201
00:08:29,733 --> 00:08:31,066
as a good candidate
202
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,566
I did a lot of edition ( 8-9 times)
203
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,200
really really important
204
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,933
to start as early as possible
205
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,333
going to apply this year
206
00:08:49,333 --> 00:08:51,666
you are looking at this video right now
207
00:08:51,666 --> 00:08:54,733
pls go and write your personal statement now
208
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:58,733
209
00:08:59,333 --> 00:09:02,400
so if you guys are interested in ps
210
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,800
next time I'll try to do another videos abt it
211
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,666
I'll just make a general statement
212
00:09:08,766 --> 00:09:12,500
I'm really grateful that I received
213
00:09:13,266 --> 00:09:15,533
my interview around October
214
00:09:15,533 --> 00:09:18,500
and when I received the interview
215
00:09:18,700 --> 00:09:22,400
offer I was truly happy because
216
00:09:23,166 --> 00:09:24,100
to meet with
217
00:09:24,133 --> 00:09:25,933
the professor of Cambridge
218
00:09:25,933 --> 00:09:27,500
and having an interview with them
219
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,366
I didn't get into Cambridge computer science
220
00:09:31,366 --> 00:09:34,733
I always believe that god has his plan for me
221
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,966
at least i didnt leave any regrets
222
00:09:36,966 --> 00:09:41,500
t least I made my 100% effort?
223
00:09:47,333 --> 00:09:49,900
If you are thinking whether to apply
224
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:51,566
just apply
225
00:09:51,566 --> 00:09:53,700
it's always good for you to try
226
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:55,066
Your never try you never know~
227
00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:57,400
don't let anyone tell you that you can't
228
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,166
because it's up to you to decide
229
00:10:02,366 --> 00:10:05,366
so if you don't apply this year
230
00:10:05,466 --> 00:10:08,100
maybe one day you will think back
231
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:09,533
say that last time
232
00:10:09,533 --> 00:10:11,266
when I have a chance to apply
233
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,566
maybe I will get in
234
00:10:12,733 --> 00:10:14,466
you don't want to leave this kind of regret
235
00:10:17,366 --> 00:10:19,100
so just apply when you
236
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:20,366
think that you can
237
00:10:20,366 --> 00:10:21,866
and I believe you will
238
00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:23,400
so just apply
239
00:10:23,866 --> 00:10:25,600
maybe you will get a surprise !
240
00:10:26,166 --> 00:10:28,566
so okay and that's it for the video
241
00:10:28,566 --> 00:10:30,500
I don't want to make it too naggy
242
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:33,066
it's just for me to share about my exprience
243
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:34,200
