Oxford 2020 Applicants official thread!! (Part 1)

Anyone from Worcester ?

me! applying to English lit and Lang

Hey, I was wondering whether all colleges send an email asking for interview availability. I'm an international applicant, and I never got one from Wadham

For international applicants,
How do you plan to travel to the UK for interview?
I am planning to book a flight ticket the day I receive the email from them and arrive a day before the interview date.
I see many who bought refundable tickets, is this necessary?
Also, what's your plan to get to the university? Taxi? Transit? is there any train?

so since law invites came a week early, is there a chance others will too?

Any English and MFL applicants? Not seen many about

theres an english lit and lang thread if you want!

When will they send invitations for engineering ?

Im also waiting for geography but for a different college - Any idea when we'll hear back??

i was getting 36% (!!) in my practise tests and same - didn’t feel the real one went much better. i’ve applied to LMH. Hopefully we’ll hear next week just so it can be over and done with - the waiting is killing me!

ooo well done to all those who got a reply!

Hey everyone! I am an international student applying from the United States of America. I am applying for the law degree at St. John's college. Today I received an interview request and I am going to fly to Oxford in December to conduct my interview in person!!! Does anyone have any tips on how to prepare? Thank you

When do Engineering applicants start to hear back? I assume week beginning 25th?

Hey everyone,
Here’s a list of the order that interview invites came out last year. They seem to be following a similar order this year (w Bio/Biochemistry/Law etc)- so hopefully it’ll give a better idea of when to expect invites this year too

For all the people who took the MAT.
Im not sure if everyones heard so i might just say: the average mark this year was 44.1%. ONLY ONE year had an average score below that.

If you found that paper hard, thats because it was in fact hard. There is still hope.
