Oxford Applicants 2016 Entry & Interview chat

WOUld you choose LMH, Magdalen or Merton for Eng Lit?

Exactly! It's going to cost loads though between travelling to these open days and staying overnight in some cases.

Same here, I can only think of one person who got into Oxford whilst I've been in the school and that was for theology or something- no one has ever got in for medicine which is pretty worrying!

you can be the first!!!

Hahaha that'd be amazing!!
I seriously doubt it though, something in the back of my mind is just telling me I definitely won't get in!

I'll have to wait and see though, it's worth a try

I've met many oxford students who say they felt just the same at the outset. It is a challenge but not impossible. Why not give it a try?

GCSE Grades: 14 A*
A-level Subjects: English Lit, French, History and Economics
Course: English or English and French
College: Magdalen

Does anyone know what English and French are really like at Oxford? I'm unsure as to whether or not I should go for it. Thank you!

I got rejected this year for PPE after interviews. My grades were 10 A* at IGCSE (with two 'top in the world' distinctions), 6 As at AS and 5 A* predictions for A with an a prediction for AS FM. I have offers from both LSE and UCL to start next year. I think that I managed to flop the interviews due to stress, and that probably let me down. Should I try reapplying next year? Many thanks.

I know a guy a couple of years back who went to my skl. Same situation as you and got in when he reapplied. It depends i say. Personally I'd be more than happy with a place at lse and do a masters at Oxford or something

Great, compliment! Are you an international student? How was your interview? What score Did you get at TSA?

Hey - I'm a Home applicant from NI. Interviews were tricky - thought my Philosophy+Economics one was awkward and didn't really know how I had got on. My Politics one was interesting and thought it went much better!

TSA scores was 68.5 overall.

For example what kind of things did they ask?
May I ask you which college did you choose?
Thank u so much!

I was given a passage in Philosophy to discuss and analyse. Questions on price setting. Questions on anarchism and my personal statement.
They varied by each candidate and by each college.

I applied to, and was interviewed at, Wadham, but have been given an open offer!
