My best friend got an interview for Chemistry today. She got reallocated from Balliol (no surprise there). I'm still waiting to hear from Somerville, but thought I'd drop by and say good luck to all of you!

Can anyone else not open the drop box files they sent via email...

They should work, I opened it yesterday - maybe that's why. It's just a map of the college, instructions about tests and interviews and general instructions about when to arrive and stuff. What subject are you applying for and I can tell you what it says about it on the forms.

I got my interview through for HSPS yesterday. Anyone know what Dr. Mark Wormald is like for general interviews? Apparently he's the senior tutor.

How do you know he is doing your 'general interview' - is it because he doesn't teach HSPS? Just wondering cuz I have a history interviewer even though I'm not applying for history.

I am a bit worry about the admission test however as I have not found many information around the topic, could anyone kindly provide me some idea or range of topic I should revise on?
Thank you very much!

Yeah he is an English tutor, even though I am applying for HSPS. Apparently the first interview is a 'personal statement interview' and the second a 'subject interview'. Though I do think they try to base your first interview on subject preference as well, eg English professor for history, or biology professor for maths, etc :smile:

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear soon. I think they only just started sending them out last Friday.

You don't have a written test before hand.

On the day you will be given 30 minutes to look at and try to answer a series of questions. The interviews will be based on those questions there after as well as the usual stuff on personal statement etc...
