I know exactly what you’re telling yourself because I told myself the same thing & I have 10+ rejections to show for it 👇
(PS - if you want the strategy for getting into Oxbridge for a masters or PhD, combined with community, accountability, & direct access to me while you build your application live, applications are now open for my Application Accelerator Cohort! Comment “COHORT” & I’ll send you the link to apply👇)
The first time I applied, I basically did it entirely on my own.
I asked those around me + strangers on Reddit & YouTube with dubious credentials, & I didn’t look any further than that.
I got rejections to every single programme I applied to without a single interview.
But the 2nd time I applied, two things were different:
1. My flatmate was applying to grad school too (US though), & most nights we sat in the same room working on our applications.
2. I finally asked people who had gotten in to similar programmes, so when I had a question, I had someone to ask instead of guessing.
I had the same grades & same gaps in my CV that 2nd time, but won fully funded offers to both Oxford & Cambridge(!!)
I still needed reminding this year. 5 weeks ago I did something I’d resisted since I started OAC: I hired someone whose entire job is to make sure I actually do what I already know how to do.
Since then I’ve started the podcast & YouTube channel I’d been saying I’d start since 2023.
I’ve been to a Pilates class 2-3x every week, after years of not setting foot in a studio.
None of it was new info. I knew all of it!
Information isn’t the problem. You can find information anywhere now.
But your dreams of a postgrad degree die in the months of meaning-to, the draft you keep almost finishing, the supervisor email you’ll send once it’s perfect.
You can absolutely do this on your own with a digital guide, & plenty of people should - a live cohort isn’t for everyone!
But if you already know you don’t want to do this alone, the Cohort is what I wish I’d had the first time.
It’s capped at 15 & starts with a call with me to ensure it’s the right fit for everyone!

I applied alone and 11 programmes rejected me…
I applied the second time with someone sitting across the room from me, saying nothing, doing the same hard thing, and Oxford and Cambridge both said yes 🥹
Comment “COHORT” and I’ll put you on my waitlist!! 👇
I’ve never built anything like this before, and the reason I’m building it now is that I’ve spent five application seasons watching truly amazing people fall apart in December, not because they didn’t know what to do, but because there was nobody there while they did it.
Here’s what you need to know:
→ Ten weeks of weekly calls, 1 October to 10 December, while your application is actually live → An intimate, exclusive room people of applying in the same system you’re applying, strictly capped at 15
→ Everything I’ve ever made included
I got my living room by luck. You shouldn’t have to!
Application calls open in two days on Monday!! Comment “COHORT” below and you’ll hear first 💛
