With what would you need help with when applying to oxford?Hi guys!
So I have a question: let's say someone were to help you with your application to oxford. Like an adviser of some sorts.. What would you want him to do exactly? I mean, what would you want him to tell you or help you with?
Thanks a lot!

Re: With what would you need help with when applying to oxford?You'd want him/her to help with providing information about the course, open days, entrance tests, etc. Look at your personal statement, arrange mock interviews.
Most importantly, you'd want them to know what the hell they're talking about. There's a lot of misinformation out there

Re: With what would you need help with when applying to oxford?I'd say this, because that is why I made it: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...eature=mh_lolz
Although having someone in person giving bespoke advice would be helpful, although I do reply to comments :P -

Re: With what would you need help with when applying to oxford?Doesn't the unpredictability preclude the possibility of practice, to an extent?(Original post by La_Mignonne)

I'd much rather they didn't spout BS about needing 7 A*s at GCSE.
Some teachers are so demoralising
