Personal Statement for mathematics and philosophy at Oxford
I am currently in year 12 and looking to study the Maths and Philosophy course at Oxford. I know it is quite a niche course and not many people do it, so this is a bit of a shout into the wind, but is anyone who has been accepted willing to share their personal statement. When I apply there will not be a personal statement, but it would be really useful to read some successful ones anyway. Good luck to those hearing from oxbridge on Tuesday.

Just to note, the ones that have been published on the links kindly provided by @04MR17 are old ones. It's generally not a good idea to publish personal statements online in the year of application (and maybe for a little bit afterwards) lest they be detected by plagiarism detectors when you submit them.
