Oxford biology interviews

Hi,
I’m wondering if anyone who either is doing biology at Oxford or had an interview could give me some advice on how to prepare. I’ve applied to St Hilda’s, but any advice regardless of college would be greatly appreciated as I know usually you have interviews with two colleges? I was also wondering how much of the interview is based on the personal statement.
Thank you

The one thing applicable to ALL interviews is the ability to: "Think out a loud" 🙂 Because the admissions tutors will be looking at whether your are a good candidate for a tutorial.

Check out this helpful webpage on the Oxf Uni website for past interview questions

Questions from the PS in STEM subjects don't really form part of the interview but are used to put the candidate at ease. That said you should read through your PS the night before any interview and answer any questions about it confidently.
