[Official] Oxford Oriental Studies Applicants 2020

Hi!
I don't know about anyone else but I've been finding it hard to find other Oriental studies applicants on the Oxford 2020 official thread ( I guess because it's a kind of niche subject...) so I thought I'd start this, especially as interviews are only two weeks away! :smile:

so I was wondering what languages you've has applied for, what college you have an interview with and what you'd like to talk about in your interview?

I've applied to Japanese and I have an interview with Pembroke :smile:
my personal statement is literature based and I've applied to a college which has a professor specialising in Japanese literature.

If it helps there's a Japanese applicant thread, (not solely for Oxford but a lot of the people on in have interviews too and applied for Hertford), called Applicants for Japanese 2020 :smile:
Hi! I’ve applied for Japanese at Pembroke as well! Heard back last week that I got a interview :smile:
