Can anyone share their philosophy personal statement with me?

I am considering applying to Cambridge, UCL, LSE, Warwick and Bristol. Is there any philosophy student who goes to one of this unis that can share their personal statement?

NO.
Because as soon as they do their PS will be flagged for plagiarism by UCAS.
Please don't do this folks!

TSR has some examples for Philosophy here - (1) Philosophy personal statements | The Student Room
but don't copy chunks, it is for 'structure help' only.

Tip - start with 'I realised I wanted to study Philosophy at University when....'.
What was it, when was it, that you decided that this subject was the one.
Something in an A level class, or something else that you read, or watch etc etc.
Explain that moment.

This guide from an Oxford college is helpful for 'how to incorporate extra reading' etc into a PS - good for all Unis - Guide-to-Super-curriculars.pdf (ox.ac.uk)
