Harris Manchester College (Oxford) Students and Applicants

I suggest you don't prepare at all. Have a few vodkas just before the interview to calm yourself, arrive at least 5 minutes late so you don't look desperate and start off with a few good jokes to relax the tutors.

Really don't need the competition

Seriously. Make sure you know your PS, apparently they like to use it as a springboard to ease the conversation, make sure you have read any books you might have mentioned in it for example.

Think about obvious questions, why Law, why Oxford, why HMC in particular. The law interview question doesn't need specific legal knowledge but it's not going to hurt if you've read your way round a couple of judgements to get a feel.

Have a look at the Oxford website, they have some vids of tutors giving tips and a couple of interviews.

Of course vodka helps!

I think I'll do just that. know my PS, revise my law classes from freshman year, etc.

Also, any idea how many law students HMC admits each round?

In terms of the numbers of admitted law students, there are 3-4 on average from Michaelmas term and then a few more joining as senior status students in April. So not even close to 35

That seems more like the right number since 35 is the total in each year. I'm sure there are plenty studying other disciplines besides law!

Yes, though the largest number of students in any one subject is probably PPE.

Do you know how many students are accepted to study E&M? How many are there in your year?

In my year, there is one I think they accepted another one this year.

Auch, only one?? I hope they didn't invite too many for interviews. Will be kind of awkward to be competing for the same single spot

well lets hope the numbers are in our favour then! good luck with your interview! when is it by the way?

There are 2 - I know both of them.

Ahh great - two is way better than one.. Then you have someone to talk to about the course .. This might be a pointless question: Are they loving there course and studying it at HMC?

how did everyone find their interviews? just done with my this morning!
