How is my Cambridge personal statement structure for Geography?
Intro
Summer school abroad
Documentary
Book
Experience
Conclusion
(Every paragraph is linked to geography)
Someone told me that since Cambridge is more academic, I should have 2-3 books mentioned and written about, but that will take up my entire personal statement. I did a personal statement webinar with Cambridge, looked at successful examples and watched some YouTube videos focused on Geography at Cambridge. I personally think my statement structure is ok and I will be showing it to my past teachers (I will be a mature student), but in the meantime I want to get some other opinions. Also, what do you think of the order from summer school -> documentary -> book? I wanted to start with academics and go from there. Thanks in advance!

My recommendation would be:
Tiny Intro
Book
Book (comparison to earlier book)
Documentary (connection to learning earlier two books)
Experience & summer school (keep both short)
