thank you!! all oxford interviews are online this year so nope… but I might end up having 2 or three across a couple of days so it being online makes it a lot easier travel-wise!

well enjoy! I had loads of fun during my MIT interview, it’s nice to talk to someone knowledgeable.. honestly by the end of it I forgot that it was even an assessment for uni apps. was just a nice chat about me (and I know the most about me)

thank you! that's amazing that you got an interview at MIT, really well done - I hope to enjoy mine just as much! oxford interviews are far less about the applicant though, they're primarily academic in nature so mine'll probably be a couple of tricky maths questions :D

ah i see. that’s the impression i’ve gotten about UK uni/admission culture in general - very academics focused. the US seems to be almost entirely focused on everything outside of academics.

that seems so bizarre to me as someone who’s only ever experienced this very academic way of things… super interesting though.
