Oxford Engineering Students and Applicants

Wow.
Umm a state comprehensive in Hertfordshire.
Feel really common now lol.
So is Oxford your top choice? People keep asking me why I didn;t apply to cambridge for engineering :rolleyes:

Maybe your state school background will be advantageous to you.

Nah imperial is my first choice. I say that because my chances of oxford are very low and dont want to be setting any expectations. If i get offered then i will go there rather than imperial though.

I dont think we will be required to stay overnight for the engineering interview. Some courses require to stay for up to 3 days!! But it'll be a day trip for us :smile:

I have got a interview from Imperial the week before last week, and the date is 2nd Dec. As a international student, this is my first time to attend a formal interview, really panic... :eek3:

Dw my Imperial interview was really relaxed. I think it's more of a chance for you to see the uni.
Good luck!

'The 7 industrial wonders of the world' and 'to engineer is human' are good books, cambridge has a list of reading material on their website, and i dont think anyone has recieved an engineering invite to interview.
