Am I the only one arriving on the morning of my first day of interviews? I couldn't find a decent flight the night before and now I'm scared there will be an issue... :frown:


Same, I arrive at Heathrow at 2pm and should be there by 6pm :smile: so that's going to be a fun sprint through the airport
I got an invitation for my interview at Worcester, received the mail this Friday. I've applied for Philosophy and French :smile:
Okay guys can you help me out here.

I've applied for PPE at Exeter College and haven't heard anything. I phoned them on Friday and they said that successful applicants were emailed on Wednesday and that rejection letters were sent at the same time. I hadn't heard anything so I assumed I'd have a rejection letter that day or Saturday. However, I've received neither email nor a letter yet, and it's now less than a week till interview. It would see odd for a letter to take this long to get to me - is it at all possible that something's gone wrong? Thanks.

Have there been any IB applicants that have been successful thus far? :smile: If so what are your predicted results?


I have! I got a predicted 44 with full marks in everything except Maths SL, which was unbelievably lucky on my part. Hasn't helped me so much with my university applications though: I've only gotten one reply from Exeter which is a conditional 38 (their highest potential offer), and my interview to Balliol.

How about you, friend? What are you applying for and to where? :smile:
I just got an interview from Wadham for PPE! Over the moon, I wouldn't have expected them to send out offers on a Sunday either!

I also haven't received anything from Exeter yet, but do they mean that they've sent all the results out or just PPE?

They do send out both emails and letters by post

Have you received an email and a letter? I'm a UK applicant, but I only received an interview letter through the post
Anyone who sent their photo or answered their online form get any kind of acknowledgement for doing so?

In the same boat applied for English and still haven't heard... Live nearby so would have assumed the letter would have reached me by now? So frustrating that we have been left waiting so late. Has anyone else not heard from Exeter?

Nah, didn't get a confirmation form and I don't really expect one either.
How come you want to see it again? :smile:
Is there anybody applying for mathematics in Oxford has been shortlisted and know your MAT results?
Original post by Rocketrascal
Well at the interview and this applies to all oxbridge applicants, the interviewer isnt necessarily trying to test you but is rathet trying to help you display your interest in said subject. For you specifically its important to analyse any extra material you have read or mentioned on your ps in more detail. So for me I talked about Ray Dalio's how the economic machine works and talked about my personal opinion about it and then talked about the infamous game theory. The game theory is infamous for eliminating oxford applicants before interview because as soon as people our age mention it they get it wrong. My interviewer liked that i talked about it anyway scoring a lot of bonus points. I also read a book called its economics stupid, try that. Mainly just read your ps stuff


Thank you for your reply- it's really helpful, can I ask you about the maths involved in your interviews? And maybe what was asked in economics interviews? It sounds like the management interview is quite personal and very much about you- while the econ one is more standard?
I literally decided to apply to Oxford the day before the deadline- very little to do with management in my statement 😅
