Personal Statement Support

Oxbridge Personal Statement Support Package

Get four reviews of your statement and expert feedback from our Oxbridge-graduate senior consultancy team with this package.

Price: £495

The initial review of our Oxbridge personal statement support package takes place over a 45-minute video call. Students should share a draft of their personal statement in advance, but if they haven’t written one yet, they’re welcome to bring along notes or ideas to discuss instead.

The second review is a 45-minute video call. Students should submit an updated draft beforehand. The senior consultant will focus on identifying any significant changes or additions that could strengthen the statement.

The third review is carried out offline, with feedback given directly through tracked edits and comments on the draft. This stage concentrates on refining the content, style, and overall structure.

The final review of our Oxbridge personal statement support is completed offline, with suggestions shared through tracked edits and comments. This step polishes the draft into its finished form, ensuring it’s ready to submit at its very best.

73% of our Premier Service students receive an offer from Oxford or Cambridge, vs a global average of 17%.

Personal Statement Support

Personal Statement Workshop 2025

Our one-day Personal Statement Workshop gives students the tools to create a strong UCAS Personal Statement. This day of comprehensive personal statement support includes an introductory talk from an admissions expert, subject-specific group teaching, and a personalised one-to-one session with a tutor.

Students take part in targeted subject sessions with others applying to similar courses, expanding their ideas and understanding of what makes an effective statement. They’ll also receive individual feedback in a one-to-one review with an expert in their field.

The workshop ends with focused writing time, giving students the chance to apply feedback, rework their draft, and leave with a clear plan for finalising their statement.

“I have had an excellent experience with Oxbridge Applications for my submission to Cambridge to study Medieval and Modern Languages. The mock interviews were also a positive experience, with 4 different former Oxbridge graduates providing useful feedback. They are clearly experts in their field and focussed on giving you the best possible chance. Thank you.”

FAQs

Our Oxbridge personal statement support is a premium, tailored service designed to help ambitious students create a UCAS statement that truly stands out.

We’ve created a step-by-step system that takes you from first draft to a polished and authentic final statement:

  • Review 1: Scoping – Whether you have a draft or just ideas, we’ll set a clear direction.
  • Review 2: Key improvements – Your revised draft is sharpened with detailed feedback.
  • Review 3: Fine-tuning – Our consultant makes tracked edits to refine content, structure, and tone.
  • Review 4: Final polish – A last round of edits ensures your statement is compelling and ready to submit.

This process gives you the confidence that your personal statement is as competitive as possible.
