Oxford Applicants 2016 Entry & Interview chat

Scroll to see replies

Lucky you, mate. The undergrad helpers told me my English interview was at 2:25 when it was really at 2:00 (25 minutes are to prep and analyse the extract)... I left my phone on silence bc it rang mid-interview last week during my UCL interview and I didn't want to risk the same embarrassment ever again. By the time the undergrads tracked me down (there were like 5 of them running around like headless chickens) it was 2:15 and I was pretty close to a full blown panic attack because the extract was crazy hard. The tutors offered me extra time but with the way they were staring me down I blurted "No, I'm okay." Lol. Worst decision. Why am I such a div?! -.-

I'm procrastinating work by looking up interview tips even though I've already had it :biggrin:


This description fits me perfectly :colondollar:
@history and joint school peeps (I think this fits for other subjects tbh)

I was procrastinating (see above) and found the interview scoring sheet as used by the tutors. Turns out they do grade your enthusiasm :biggrin:

Me too! I've remembered that I kind of advised the interviewers on how to have safe sex...


I said 'penetrate' real casually - and yes, in a sexual context :afraid:

And here I was thinking you might tell me that you used real magic.

While i feel my interview went fine, i really regret not socialising more at the jcr. I just found it really intimidating.


Whereas I spent my time either in the Ashmolean or coffee shops with other Classicists, in the JCR playing cards, or touring Oxford and visiting other people's JCRs... Maybe it was just a Corpus thing, but ours was always very very full!

Going to be getting to Oxford (staying at Brasenose) at round 8pm tomorrow. I know this is quite late (travelling after school) so will there be student helpers (etc.) helping at that time? :s-smilie:


Hello itsConnor_,

Our student hosts are helping from 8am until 10pm each day, but our Porter's Lodge is manned 24 hours a day. If you arrive at 8pm then a Porter will summon a student host, who will show you to your room and to the common room where the notice boards are. They'll be lots going on in the common room in terms of evening entertainment. We understand that Mario Kart and Articulate seem to be the most popular, with Bananagrams on the rise!

Setting off for Merton this afternoon, what time roughly is everyone arriving? :h:

Do they have those kinds of sheets for other subjects too? (i.e. Biology...)
For me, it's quite curious that shyness is noted as 'important information' (upper right corner). Let me search on the site to see if they have a numerical score & their equivalents chart!

I don't think it matters if there's college space or not; if they think you're brilliant, they'll pool you to another :smile:

can anybody tell me how to draw this graph.
y=1/x12 - 1/x6
they asked me this question during the interview and of course,i could not do it.
Mmm I understand, it's the same for me as well; they didn't accept any direct applicants or imports, which is... rather odd, I suppose?

(3 out of 4 were reallocated though, so crossed fingers for both of us :tongue:)

put in -2,-1,0,1,2 for a rough estimate
pretty sure they didn't want a perfectly accurate graph, a rough drawing would have been enough
It's not very hard......probably shouldn't overthink and prepare for the next one
