Why is an Oxbridge Personal Statement different?

At Oxbridge, there is a considerable amount of desire to see 'super-curriculars' these include demonstrating knowledge in your chosen degree area that have extended outside the classroom, including: reading around the subject, attending online courses or independent research. These can also be demonstrated in the SAQ or COPA (and I would be keen to help international applicants for the COPA!) The interview is also really important and allows you to convey your passion for the subject - so reading around is important!
As Oxbridge gets so much information on you, it's key to make sure that all aspects of your application are the best that they can be. This would include admissions tests and submitted work, which I can help with if required.
