Did anyone receive their invitations today? Do you think that you could still be invited if you haven't received anything yet? And does anyone think that, being a non-UK applicant, I might still get it in the post? I'm traveling and get back tomorrow night, but I doubt I'll have a little letter in my mailbox, as all my friends have received theirs by email!

It appears that some colleges have not yet sent all their invitations. I, for one, have not seen one mention of anyone who applied to study the subject for which I applied to study at the college to which I applied to study that subject receiving his or her invitation, so I assume that that college has not yet sent all its invitations.

Out of curiosity: From where are you applying? I, too, am a non-U.K. applicant. I am from a town in the United States of America a short distance from New York City.

Can't you go on the Oxford website and read that interview won't come out for Medicine until Dec 4.

Yes I'm perfectly capable of reading that. However rjections for medicine have been reported to have gone out before the date interview invites had gone out in previous years which is why I was trying to talk to fellow medicine applicants here about this and see if l could gather info for this year.

Does anybody know what they mean when they say that you must stay until 10 o clock but may be required to stay until later that day? How late is later that day?
What time should I book my flight?

Im interviewing at brasenose (you're ppe too, right?) and they said it was best if i booked a flight the next day, since last year interviews were held as late as 3pm on the last day. All i had to do was request an additional night.

Best to stay a day before and a day after to make sure you arent in a rush and in case of last minute interviews.

Well, I got an email containing this from them about a month ago:

So in the first few days of December, but I don't know a specific date for sure.

From what I've seen I've realised we'd be unlikely to face a question based on our PS. They are not looking for the right answer or knowledge (so I'm not learning much extra stuff..) but your "academic potential" I guess.. so I'm trying to do questions that make me think :biggrin:

Yeah defo, I'm not sure what kind of questions I can look at for Biochem aside from Chemistry ones. Plus the subject is so broad - they could ask me anything... which makes me even more nervous!!

Nervous ofc, I didn't think the TSA int as well as any of my practices aha. But hey It'll be an awesome experience at the end of it right. And hopefully an offer at the end of it aha :wink:

How you gonna prep?

I definitely thought the TSA went so badly so I was ridiculously surprised!! So scared aha. I think I'm going to read over whatever books I mentioned in my personal statement and just brush up on economic theory I guess..tbh I actually have no idea. What are you planning? oh and what are you wearing!

I'd recommend that you read some texts in translation! Like One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich - it's really good and quite short... But you might have already read it aha :smile:

Yeah I've started doing the Portuguese Duolingo course and I've read some Brazilian short stories! I'm so nervous but really excited too

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is on my personal statement! It's a great book. I've read a few Russian texts in translation, and I just love the literature. Portuguese sounds cool! I studied Spanish and it seems quite similar on paper (although maybe not when spoken)
