LMH Oxford: Ask us anything

Hi there,

I am currently going into year 10 and I have already completed two GCSE's and my grades are where I want them to be at the moment. I live in London and I would like a place in Oxford University when I am older for a course down the business/economics lane. I was wondering if there is any colleges/sixth forms in London that increases chances of getting into Oxford. I am also a low income student and a first generation British citezen. Does this decrease my chances of getting into Oxford also?

Yours Faithfully

Hi, I was an applicant who did half my interviews at LMH and hopefully have some advice that would help. The school you attend doesn't affect your chance of getting in. I applied for medicine and their selection process for interview was 50% my proportion of A* at GCSE and 50% my entry test result. Your GCSE's are contextualised meaning if you go to a lower performing school but got one of the best GCSE results at that school you won't be at a disadvantage compared to someone who got all A* but went private school. Look at the course on the Oxford website and they should be transparent about the selection process. You could aim to apply to prestigious colleges and sixth forms who send a high proportion of students to oxbridge each year, the teachers may be more experienced in preparing students for oxbridge and interviews. But the most important thing is your own hard work and experiences. So going to an average sixth form with good teachers should still be sufficient. You mentioned being low income and first generation so also keep an eye out for widening participation courses which help students like you get to oxbridge. These include organisations like 'into university' and many others.

Hope this was helpful

For E&M and PPE applicants, how will interviews work, in the sense that applicants are usually made to sketch graphs etc. And how about pre-interview reading material. Thanks

Reading this thread is depressing!

What makes LMH unique compared to other Oxford colleges? I'm planning to study Medicine and I'm applying to Oxford this year, and I'm trying to choose between LMH and Christ Church!

Hi LMH,
Do you know who I can contact to help me with my LNAT essays? I heard in one of your videos that students could review them and help applicants.

Thanks!

Hi! What's studying Chem like at LMH? What are the kitchens like for undergrads?

Hello,

Roughly when do LMH start to give out interview offers?

Hi @LMH OXFORD I have recently received an invite to interview, I just wanted to know your policies on a gap year, it has been a hard year for me for numerous reasons as well as a want to work and do activities to aid my study of history in the future such as create a historical portfolio. Any advice?
