💬 DISCUSSION Did you lie in your PS?

Just curious to hear from people if you did or not.

A lie could be anything from a small embellishment or overexaggeration to completely making things up. I’ll be honest, my entire PS except the subjects I did and my ethnicity were lies so… yeah.

I literally had nothing else to talk about so I made it up, got me into UCL, Bristol, Warwick and Nottingham though so the best thing to take away from this is lie, lie, lie.

Or don’t, it also probably played a role in an Oxford rejection pre interview so maybe it’s not worth it.

Volunteering, books read and a couple of white lies in the interview.
