University of Oxford 2022 Applicants Official Thread

ik its a bit random but can you help me with this question?

A high degree of self-discipline is one quality exhibited by all athletes who have reached the
uppermost levels of competition, whatever the sport. This amount of self-discipline is in
evidence long after the initial excitement of a sport has worn off, and an athlete has had to
keep going through years of painful and repetitive training sessions. The example of top
athletes suggests one approach to improving student behaviour and educational achievement.
If more young people could begin training programmes akin to those of elite athletes, they too
would develop exceptional levels of personal discipline to apply within their studies.

Which one of the following best expresses the flaw in the above argument?
A High levels of self-discipline may not be all that it takes to become an elite athlete.
B Young people may be able to develop self-discipline through other kinds of activities.
C The kind of coaching support available to elite athletes may not be accessible to the
general population.
D Good behaviour and educational achievement during one’s school years may not be
essential for going on to lead a successful life.
E Strong self-discipline may not be an effect of the training but rather a capacity already
possessed by athletes as they start their training.

Ready to submit my application. Although when I pasted my personal statement into UCAS and look at the preview, the formatting seems all over the place? Any others?

It’ll just be a confirmation email as they won’t make decisions about interviews until November time mine was a confirmation!

i got a confirmation email from oxford before i got my ucas email, nothing to worry about!

It’s the crap revamp. Normally it’d show each line very clearly, instead of line 1 of text spread over two lines and so on.
But this is their new look with improvements 🤷*♀️

Yes, I have received a confirmation email.

yeah it is just a confirmation of the application, i got it this morning too

Yh it’s just a confirmation email lol. People won’t start getting invited to interview/rejected until November.
