University of Oxford 2022 Applicants Official Thread

Hey @Oxford Mum do you have a chapter on engineering science?

Hey, I’m torn between 4 colleges (for the human sciences course) if anyone has an inside scoop on them it’d be much appreciated
-Hertford
-St John’s
-Mansfield
-St Hugh’s

Basically all the colleges are great! And you may get moved around even if you pick one anyway. But in brief I would say: Hertford- central, pretty, bridge of sighs, musical. St John’s voted best college by Telegraph (!)- very rich, great accommodation, central, academic power house, Mansfield- highest state school entry, progressive, laid back, everyone seems to like Mansfield folk, St Hugh’s- far out, has fewer applicants because of this, but great facilities and a real meritocracy as all the ex women’s colleges are. You can’t go wrong really.

Hi, @Oxford Mum, do you have a Geography chapter for Oxford Demystified by any chance?

what undergraduate course are you hoping to study?

Hello everyone,

I am currently in AS Level studying Bio, Chem, Phys and Maths - I'm aiming for 4 A's in AS Level and entry into Oxbridge.

I was wondering if anyone else had similar goals to me just so I can network with like minded people?

Here are some of the things I have done:

I am a senior member of a nonprofit organisation (which I will not name as my comment might get taken down ) where we provide free help to students struggling in their exams - we have around 10k views on our website

I have entered numerous essay competitions, both national and international, and have been shortlisted a few times (sadly still havent won one )

Partaken in numerous virtual work experience programs and other such events. Worked in a care home in the US and also volunteered with disabled kids in the US.

Worked on a research project with a professor from Oxford

So yeah, that's pretty much everything about me. If anyone would like to connect with me, feel free to reply to this post! I may sound like a total nerd but I'm really not !!

Medicine!

That all sounds really cool! How did you go about the research project? I’ve looked for placements but they only seem to be for if you’ve been in care or on free school meals.

Like to see some medics out there.

Younger son is in 4th year medicine. On Thursday he will begin his first night shift on ICU (Covid wards).

I have written a book called Oxford Demystified.

I wrote a chapter of how son got into Oxford medicine
