Oxford application advice

Hello, my application for a research masters in political theory at Oxford is nearly complete. My essays are ready and I am writing my statement of purpose containing my experiences.

Other than general advice for writing the statement of purpose, is there anything in particular that Oxford admissions in particular would like to see?

Thank you, Jamie

What would you consider to be outstanding grades?

the normal minimum is 67% upwards, but I think this is one of Oxford's more competitive courses, so they are probably looking almost exclusively from 1sts.
