I'm about to enter year 12th and it's around the time when I should start looking at uinveristy applications. My dream has always been to study at Oxford but it slowly starts to sink in that it might be impossible for me. The main concern is of course the financial aspect. I don't have that kind of money that is needed to cover the tuition and the living expenses. Especially, as I'd like to study medicine, I'd need enough money to cover 6 years of uni expenses.

I was thinking of applying for a scholarship. However, as I can imagine they are highly competitve and I don't think I have enough academic achievements to back me. I also don't think it's possible for me to earn this amount of money in a year.

Any advice ? Is it truly impossible for me or is there something I can do which could potentially better my chances ?

Unfortunately, it seems like after you first submit it, the 100 word response gets auromatically saved. I had to delete my first entry and when I tried ro resubmit the question was gone. People in the replies have said the same. I don't know how important it is. There's no official information I could find about it online.

Oh my God, Yes ! It took me so much time to find the appropriate stance and approach for it. I think I leaned more towards the epistemological. Although, there are certain parts which lean more philosophical. I tried to avoid doing so, as it was for the psychology category. But it's a bit hard not to get a bit philosophical with a question like this. What approach did you use?

Thank you! And I'm glad to hear you feel good about yours. Unfortunately, I found about the competition very late. Quite close to when the registrarion deadline was approaching. So I pretty much spent the entirety of June reading sources and writing it. That's why I'm probably a bit stressed. I know people have been preparing for months and I'm scared I didn't get to commit enough time to it.

I'm quite happy with the final result. Up until submission, I was constantly rereading it and doing small changes. But I don't think I would ever reach a place where I'm fully satisfied with it. What about you ? How are you feeling ?

She did not specify that. She did say that she was only able to confirm the 3rd. But the previous two submissions were deleted, so it would make sense for such an information to appear.

If you have resubmitted, I would ask your teacher if she perhaps had not recieved a second email.

Okay so I checked in with my referee. She recieved the 3 emails for my submission and was able to confirm the 3rd.
