Has anyone got an invitation for interview at Oxford?2012/2013

The first one was pretty good because I got most of the questions correct. Second was harder and although I did get the answers correct, I needed a few prompts to do so. Let's hope we both get in!

Balliol PPE interviewee here - I must have met your son as there were two US applicants (one from California and the other from Boston) and I talked to them both.

Tell him not to be too nervous because it's impossible to read into it; it could be good or bad. For Balliol PPE there were 41 interviewed; only 8 of us got interviews at other colleges. Therefore, it's more normal for someone not to have them than to have them.

Hey, just wondering if anyone was in the same position as me/could tell me what this means

I applied for mod langs (germ and italian) at magdalen, had my two interviews there but then got an interview at Keble for linguistics (which I obviously didn't apply for...)

very confused

Maths interviews advice!

ok, in the end I had 5 interviews for maths, over the 3 days.
Anyone know if this is a good thing or a bad thing! I felt they went pretty well.

any advice appreciated!

What? Five interviews? ! you must be very very special.

I know someone who had 9 , they got in though so it was worth it in the end

Are you kidding?

Are Oxford already giving out offers because somebody on fb said they got an offer from Oriel to study french and german

I suppose, it could be true as decisions have been made but the university seemed quite adamant that nothing would be posted until the 10th/11th
Maybe Oriel went rogue

Yes but I'm sure they were telling the maths students that they'd already decided on if they were offering you a space before you actually left... For us it's nothing until the 5th

Just a guess, but isn't it compulsory for French or German Sole students to study a certain amount of linguistics? This way it could mean that you were/are also being considered for German Sole as well as German & Italian, which is why they had to test your aptitude for linguistics as well?
Don't mean to upset you, or anything, I'm not even applying to Oxford, but this is what I found when I was researching the courses there during the summer. And as many have said before, there's not really a point in second-guessing the process.

Viel Glück!

No, Sole students do not have to do linguistics. However, if zcbl1 was applying for Italian ab initio then they might have wanted to test a general aptitude for languages through a linguistics interview.
