I'd imagine a bit of questioning regarding your personal statement (excluding Oxford/Cambridge, of course) and then a bit of general discussion in the language maybe? Nothing too much, perhaps just future plans or studies :smile: bonne chance!

I've got 4 of my offers now!

I managed to somehow get Oxford (AAA), no idea how- still in shock!! Nottingham (ABB- but if I firmed it, it would be unconditional), Warwick (AAB) and Liverpool (ABB). I'm waiting on Durham- but now I've got Oxford I'm not overly fussed!

Thank you! I know - I feel the same! :biggrin: And I really thought I'd blown my chances with the interviews... Great combination! Aw, Lincoln is really lovely. :smile: If all goes well (fingers crossed), I'll be studying Spanish and Arabic at St John's.

I've not really seen it- was in a rush after the interview so just had to leave! It looked nice from what I saw :smile: Wow. That's an unique combination! What made you chose Arabic? I had an interview at St John's as well- it was beautiful, but massive! Me and this other girl were terrified that we wouldn't find our way out!! :s-smilie:
