Oxford Applicants 2016 Entry & Interview chat

The colleges share their opinions with each other, but they also understand you can't be on top form all the time. So if the first college wants you, they probably won't worry too much if the second college doesn't think you're so great.

(And don't forget that how you feel interviews went can often bear no resemblance to how the tutors think they went!)

Thank you for your reply!
I think first two were not too bad, but i agree that interviewers can think completely otherwise as i couldn't understand anything from their face/reaction, they should be really experienced. However for my third i understood how stupid i was as Oxford mathemtics applicant should have answered such questions and this was obvious from interviewers face, i shouldn't have been so nervous I still loved Brasenose college, people there are really very friendly, unfortunately i definitely have no chance getting to that college. I hope i can get offer from Corpus.

yayy, corpus is the best! I absolutely loved my time there

Not always, but it's quite common for the tutors at a given college to ask the same questions to everyone they interview.

It's less common in the humanities, where they're more likely to spend more time talking about something from someone's personal statement.

Have you applied to Corpus or had your second interview there? And for which degree if you don't mind me asking? I love Corpus as well, but loved Brasenose as much
