Engineering Science at Oxford

Hii, so I'm in year 12 and was thinking of applying to the Oxford engineering science course as one of my five options.
Overall I know I want to do chemical engineering and my other four options will definitely be for chemEng but at different unis but seeing as Oxford's course is more broad, does that mean I'd have to write another more general personal statement to apply or would I be able to use my chemical engineering ps for that course too.

And also, if I happen to receive an interview offer (which is highly unlikely) would the questions be the normal physics and maths sort of questions (which apply to the general course) or would they ask more chemical questions seeing as I'm applying specifically to chemEng like the other unis such as imperial.
Thanks for reading!!

Yes, the Oxf engineering course is broader than most other Uni's. PS just need to show you have a positive interest in the subject, and if you want to talk about one aspect of engineering e.g. chem eng, then that's ok.
Can't predict what interview questions might get asked, but they're likely to be maths and physics based.
