So the offer she already has is not good enough for her? Hmmm.

No because shes after a name, like Harvard or Oxford. So she can boast about it.
She doesnt want a PhD shes after the prestige it will bring, thats why she doesnt have a project proposal, her mindset for doing a PHd is wrong.
Wasn’t her US offer self-funded too? She probably wants a funded place now she’s realised how much it would cost.
i can't believe she left her research proposal for the last 2 days to submit it...at this point i don't think it's a procrastination issue anymore, it's just she feels so entitled to do a PhD and she's so full of herself that she doesn't care about the proposal because she's believes she'll get it anyway
2 days... 🫣
Also her thing with the word count. At the point of starting a phd „I have xy words to write“ shouldn’t be a thing anymore. When I wrote mine, it was always too long at first. So many things to say and usually not enough space to say everything (which makes sense they want the key points and it forces u to focus on those).2 days... 🫣
just says to me she's not actually interested in whatever she's actually applying for, she's only doing it for the bragging rites lmao!! plus she's defo applying for ESRC funding to which I say good luck to her, soooo many people I know who went to top universities with great grades really struggled to secure anything despite being overqualified
also, did she study much with regard to research methods at Harvard/Oxford? I know that if you're applying ESRC you have to have a set number of credits in it otherwise, you would also have to apply for the MRes too which lowers your chances further
I don’t think so, she didn’t even write a dissertation for her masters so she has no idea what actual research means
btw i don't know if anyone saw it, but i did.....i can't stop thinking about it so here it goes: she bought herself a cake for reaching 10k followers........ON LINKEDIN
i swear this is 100% true –you can check her latest reels

I don't think she would make it through a PhD to be honest. The way she glamorises things like writing whole essays in the early hours on the deadline day etc - you literally can't do that on a PhD when your monthly target is writing e.g 10k words. It's undergraduate behaviour.
I don't know if she intends to do empirical research or a theory based PhD but personally she doesn't seem like a good candidate for either. If she's not written a dissertation she's not going to appeal to people reviewing a theory PhD application, most of the time the offer is literally something like 'a 2.1/merit with 65% or above in the dissertation component' and if she wants to do an empirical PhD with no idea of a research project AND no methods training...she won't be in and out in the normal 3-4 years. When I did my own PhD I didn't have methods training but I did know what I wanted to research so did the relevant methods module in my first term. Equally if you've had training in methods then you can relatively quickly knock together a decent proposal in the first term. I've supervised students who either had the training or the idea, but if you start a PhD with neither, at best you're going to struggle massively. You can get through a master's for the 'clout' as it's only a year but the dropout rate for PhDs is high for a reason. She seems completely underprepared for it.
When reviewing applications for PhD students (or research master's students) everyone, on the whole, has impressive credentials - what you want to be sure of is a) the idea is decent, b) the student will actually be able to execute the idea, having had the normal training/supervision, and c) that they are actually going to complete it, as no supervisor wants to be the one with a dropout student. In other words, if I were the one reviewing her application I wouldn't go near her with a bargepole.

10 PRIVATE goals she titles the video as she decides to upload it to YouTube for thousands to watch....she maybe wants to google the definition of that word. Also the way she's throwing her MacBook around in front of the camera in the first few minutes....honey we knowwww you went to harvard and honey we knowwww you're "rich" stop trying to subtly flex
Hmmm very relatable to her followers, not. A 5 day holiday every month? Most likely abroad too, rather than a local mini break. It is not normal to have such holidays every month!
I’m all for people prioritising their mental health (and I think that’s particularly important for students) but I’m not sure how feasible that’s going to be when studying for a PhD.
Does she mean she woke up IN Cyprus or that she woke Cyprus up by her mere presence?
Come on Vee, proof-read your captions.
(and lol, I can't imagine her trying to explain her holiday schedule to her future PhD supervisors.)
anyone watched her latest vlog? i can't be bothered if i'm honest lol.
I'm partway through, its very much a ramble about what she's done in Jan and Feb. Makes sure to name drop that when she's in London she stays at Malala's 'beautiful place' (and at her Mum's the rest of the time in Birmingham). She also talks about everywhere she's been (Paris, Cyprus, Geneva), giving a talk sponsored by Amazon for young people, going to the Tar movie premiere, and hitting 70K on LinkedIn (I really judge her love of that website. It's awful.)
Vee also replies to a comment said she's hoping to start her PhD in August. But where that may be is a mystery...I presume she's keeping Claremont as back up still.
Whaaaaattt? How is Amazon related to her?
This was not explained
She just name-dropped them, said it was her first talk of the year, that Amazon was doing 'Youth Initiatives' and said she was 'supporting' her friend George. Maybe he has some association with them and she was tagging along? It was unclear.I don't know why people watch videos of someone explaining their work diary and personal updates on every video.
She literally delivers eff all to anyone's lives.
She's a braggart, not a content creator. Every video is about herself. It's so painfully narcissistic.

I also judge her on thinking it’s an achievement to make 70k connections on LinkedIn.
How many of them are actually useful viable connections, which is the purpose of the site, and how many are bots and weirdos?
