Tips for Oxford MBA Interview

Hi, all

I just managed to get an interview for Oxford Said MBA. I'm feeling thrilled and privileged, and of course abit scared.

I hope to get some solid advice from all u great people at the forum.

Cos I'm an international, so I'm leaning heavily towards doing a telephone interview, rather than a flight down to Oxford for a face-to-face interview.

My questions are :

1) Is it much, much more advisable to do a face-to-face interview over a telephone interview?

2) Any good general, Oxford specific interview tips? Such as general length of interviews, types of questions that may be asked, and *good answers* :-)

I think my question (2) would be more easily answered by people who already are in the Oxford MBA or MFE program...

Thanks for any advice, all

Cheers

Definitely better to do face-to-face, in my opinion. I'd think you are able to engage the interest of your interviewer that way.
