OK to mention extracurriculars in opening of PS? (for oxbridge)
I'm about to enter year 13 and i have started to draft up my personal statement for law.
I'm aiming for applying to oxbridge, however I've heard that they
I have always enjoyed playing the piano and in some ways I find relation to the rules of music to the rule of law - I was wondering if it would be cringe/laughable to sort of intertwine this sort of metaphor within my personal statement? and then of course mention my supercurriculars for the rest of the ps.
please could someone lmk asap! if this would be stupid of me, I feel like it can go either way - might make me stand out or might make me look absolutely silly haha.

I also want to mention that I am aware that oxbridge are mostly looking at academic potential within the subject - this is sort of where my question was coming from (whether it would be a waste to do so or not)

Why not write it and then get it looked over by your application tutor or submit it to the tsr PS team..This is a confidential service and they will give you an opinion either way.Do not post it on a thread.Tbh the Lnat result will be more of a determining factor
