Interview Help

I’ve got an interview for chemical engineering and biotechnology at Cambridge. I wanted to ask what interview preparation I should be mainly focusing on because I’m kind of at a loss.

hi! i got an offer so i might be able to help... just know what to say if you get asked about any aspect of your personal statement, have answers ready for the basic questions 'why did you apply for cambridge' 'why chemical engineering' 'what is chemeng' etc. to prepare do mock interviews with you chem/maths teachers, practice basic mechanics questions and just know basic a level knowledge then you should be okay! the interviewers will help you if you get stuck dont worry, they just want to see how you think, and make sure you ask questions since they dont always give you all the information you need to answer the question. good luck with applying!
