I actually wonder how long interviews are and how many (academic) questions they ask. anyone knows where to find more info on this? I'm applying for Maths&CS if that's relevant.
I think you can find info on that on the Oxford admissions page..

Hey all I happened to have missed Oxford's 15th October 2012 application deadline is there any chance that I can still apply to Oxford? Do they consider late applications? Please help.

I'm afraid they won't unless you have a very good reason for missing the deadline.
None of the colleges will accept a late application?? Even if i have good grades (4 A's in AS and continuing all 4 subject to A2)? I dont have a very good reason for it to be honest, just had too much work from school. Its my fault for not thinking about it much earlier

No, they won't accept a late application. No chance whatsoever. Your only option is to reapply next year.

Then it's your own fault, you'll have to wait until next year to apply.
Aww parents! It's so funny seeing all these keen parents being dragged around from college to college. Balliol was also so pretty but I didn't really fancy my chances seeing as it has like the second most applicants!
The piano is amazing! It's a grand <3 <3 ... not that I saw it in real life. Thanks panoramic views of colleges, win. But the gardens are lovely! Didn't see the hall or library or or anything! lots of building work going on around Oxford this year so thats probs why. Good to know! I wanted to see the accomodation! they used to have pictures up on their old JCR website but since they re-vamped it the catalogue of rooms is gone. Also I have heard of some Mertonians refer to their rooms as tents, so I'm guessing its just luck really.
There are 8 PPE-ists at Merton every year, or so they say
Balliol does look nice, but it didn't have everything I wanted
OMG grand piano! Yay! Hehe I looked at the virtual tour thing on the website too! It's really good. Oh I wish the JCR still had that on their website, sounds useful.
ok thank you for answering my questions. i don't know what to say to my parents about this, they're gonna lynch me....
Try to get in touch with some of the colleges? Say you were preposterously ill or something. It's worth a go, right?
Acknowledgement finally came! Although "Urgent information about your application to study History and English" is such a worrying thing to see in your subject line until you open it and just realise it's information about registering for the HAT.
no no I'm just worrying if my college will be changed one day because I don't want it to change... they said in the acknowledgement that my college is already confirmed, but I wonder if it means it won't change no matter what or it's still subject to change, because I really don't want to change college...
oh will international applicants be interviewed 2x too, if they choose to be interviewed through phone?
Well if your first choice college decides not to take you, you may be picked up by another college and be given an offer from them. You have no choice over that (well, you choose by doing the best in your interviews I guess).
I would guess that international students get more than one phone interview, but I do not know. I am sure you can find information on Oxford's website, or email an appropriate tutor.
Woooop German What did you think of the BA course at Oxford? And why the second BA?
Hey,
Sorry for the late reply. Haven't really used this forum since the first time around of applying!
BA Modern Languages at Oxford is a-maz-ing. The Taylorian (Taylor Institute) is so good. The resources are fantastic and there are specialists in everything.
It depends a lot on the College you're at for some stuff, though. How much oral practice and translation you get to do changes from one place to the next.
First year is brilliant, as it's designed to introduce you to all manner of literary genres and periods.
I'm going for a second degree because I very nearly ended up studying Law with Law Studies in Europe anyway but was more drawn to MFL. Now, though, I want to study Law more than ever!

Sorry, but how is this different from what is already written in previous reply's?

If you get invited for an interview, you will be interviewed at your selected college. However, you might get interviews at other colleges and might receive an offer from another college if your college will not be able to offer you a place (if it has too many qualified candidates). So yes, you can be moved to another college, but it either that or not Oxford at all..
