Any post-int thoughts? :smile:

Mine was very enjoyable as a MatSci experience, but I doubt I'll get in- fairly sure the tutors did not enjoy it as much as I have. :colondollar: Anyway, the experience was worth everything I've done in preparation for it, and the conversations I had with students&applicants met in Mansfield were probably the most stimulating ones in this entire year. :biggrin: Oxford's truly a fantastic place if you're a science nut, and no rejection will change my opinion about that. Going to hope for PhD there now, I guess.

I would have to agree, it was very fun for me! but i don't think the tutors enjoyed it much.... What date was your interview at Mansfield?
It was on Monday- the first day for Materials interviews, I believe. when was yours?

Not a Trinity applicant, but I've heard they send the letters in the afternoon, so it should be coming with today's post.

Hey there. I applied to Mansfield for Materials Science and Engineering. Although I haven't received an invitation yet, I am just curious as to how to approach the interviews and how to prepare for it. Thanks people.
