Can confirm getting into the GDL is not difficult. It’s not competitive like law school in the US, I know many people with 2:2 humanities degrees who didn’t know what to do next so did the GDL. Even the LPC and BPTC are easy to get onto if you’re funding it yourself. Whether he actually gets a training contract though remains to be seen, I’m not sure law firms will like the tone of his videos.

Does anyone know what masters it is he wants to do before the LPC? He said he didn’t get into it last year so I’m thinking it must be Oxbridge or a subject unrelated to his undergrad as that’s the only occasions I’ve heard anyone get rejected from a masters in England.

I've outlined some of his obnoxious tendencies in my previous posts.

Other things include:
- Ignoring people who he was once good friends with and then acting like nothing happened when he wanted something from them again

- Spreading his "close friends" business to other close friends (which then became public knowledge)

- Expecting the red carpet to be rolled out to him at every and any event that he went to

- Ignoring people that he didn't think were worthy of his attention (until he was given reason to think otherwise)



From what I understand, the college he was at is very relaxed as it's a mature college. Apparently this is the case at these colleges

So while younger students may have fawned over him, mature students tend to be more concerned with real life... and didn't care for juvenile attempts to be popular.

God it’s embarrassing 😂

I’ve always found it uncomfortable how much he skews his Hackney / home life in public. Like showing his bathroom that time and moaning about how nobody ever cleans, like that’s not an issue for your viewers to see? Some things are kept private

He got rejected from Harvard. He struggled with the maths portion of the aptitude test I think? Funnily enough Vee (at Oxford) got in for a similar programme and she got much lower a-levels than him.

Has he said anywhere what he's planning to do after this MSc? I am really confused that he's done the GDL and is now doing an Education masters, I really don't know what he thinks that will add to his applications for legal practice unless he's not pursuing that anymore?

I think Ibz knew this drop in views would happen after he graduated - it's happened before with people like Joe Binder and Jake Wright. That's why he said he'd stop making videos after he graduated, but his fans begged him to stay. Wonder if those fans are still watching.

Have been wondering this ever since I watched his bloated "break-up" videos- who was his boyfriend?

He’s the epitome of too big for his boots 😂 definitely took inspiration from Eve about studying law, then posting all about it as if he’s always wanted to go down that route, weird honestly

Yeah, if he'd just said that Eve was the inspiration, fair enough. But pretending that's been his life desire when it was barely mentioned before... sad.

You can’t go from getting D’s at A level and expecting to bang your degree at Cambridge 😂 the effort you’ve gotta put in oh my. It seemed like he was clutching onto his A level “rise to fame” and expected the same results throughout university without the effort

Honestly, I'd have said a 2:2 from Cambridge after his educational history was brill. Would agree; definitely an ironic level of privilege there.

Yep because he was seeing a fuckboy around that time iirc.

I think that was just before he fled to Singapore because he was heartbroken (if I'm remembering the video correctly)

I believe so! I'm not entirely sure as our interactions post-first year have been few and far between. That being said, on the rare occasion that we'd bump into each other, he was always incredibly obnoxious 🙃

But from what I remember, he alienated a lot of people and essentially went to ground.

Being the diva that he is, he deleted almost everyone he'd met off of Facebook and then made one for his "fans" that included people who he'd met at uni but weren't in his inner circle. I remember it cropping up in my "people you know" section and thinking this cannot be real 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

this is so interesting, you can see it a mile off 😂

I always got the impression from watching his vlogs that he hated his second year halls because the students didn’t really care much about who he was or playing up for his camera, so he fucked off 😂 he needs to be more like Vee, she’s literally living with Malala and is so unbothered it’s so nice

the whole law thing deffo seemed to arise after seeing Eve’s success after landing a job at Linklakers, he would’ve looked unsuccessful compared to her

Watched his most latest video and I don't know why but he really rubs me the wrong way :/ It's a bit of that thing Unjaded Jade has where she's read one book and knows everything about Palestine/world hunger/ "fun exercise". Thinking of unsubscribing, I'm really not the sort of audience he's trying to reach

In what way 'obnoxious'? Genuinely curious.

The "fame" has absolutely gone to his head. The person he was when he started YouTube vs the person he is now is shocking. It's shame because at first I thought he was an alright guy, but now it's plain as day that he thinks he's God's gift because he made videos about his time at Cambridge.

I know him in real life and he's totally up himself. He made videos slagging off some people from the Cambridge Islamic community and then went and partnered with Oxford on a Access Conference just to be spiteful.

If his name wasn't going to be attached to something or he was asked to work on something that wasn't in the spotlight/paid, he didn't want to know.

Side note, but related: sharing your experiences is great but conflating that with "getting people into Oxbridge" is a huge stretch. He's done nothing significant for access at Cambridge.



It was a satellite BPP campus, no shade but hardly difficult to get into.

I also think that because he was in the process of appealing (but had good grades from previous years), that helped his case.



Also papers are marked by different academics and they're supposedly marked blindly, so to get a 2:2 overall means you're grades weren't popping in more than one paper.

I don't think they picked on him, but I wouldn't like someone who I'd seen slagging me and my colleagues off on social media.

People talk, so I don't doubt that he was a hot topic in the fac.

That’s like Selina Ozay, another studytuber, who I love so much I genuinely think she’s jokes, but don’t act surprised when the psychology don’t like you after slagging them off in every vlog 😂

as for Ibz, he’s such a hypocrite using his “hate” for Oxford to up his status in Cambridge then shitting on it completely when things don’t go your way.

didnt he move out of his second year halls? Why was that?

A 2:2 is definitely admirable I doubt I could get it compared to my uni status 😂 it’s more just the fact he made out he was gonna get much higher and blamed his grade on everyone but himself
