Sorry to read that. I was rejected by Cambridge. It's not very nice, but your attitude is perfect. Please see here: th-cam.com/video/fIjDn2mEc0E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1epHmJqnXOExRTen
Hello Professor, I hope my comment finds you well and that you are having a great day. I recently had my interviews for Architecture and felt like I was very ranty, for a lack of better words. I don’t believe I used a lot of filler, it’s just I tried to elaborate the most I can from the get-go. When I was asked a question, I would answer it to the best of my ability but would find myself speaking for 2-4 minutes per question. As such, I felt like there wasn’t enough time for my interviewers to ask me to build up on my answers to test how I would respond to challenging questions, because of this I feel quite worried as it doesn’t reflect the idea I had in mind of Oxbridge interviews based on previous students’ experiences, especially successful applicants who mentioned they were challenged quite a lot with their answers. What’s your opinion on this? I think I may just be overthinking my performance. Thanks in advance.
It's best not to try and analyse your past performance. There's no simple formula for an ideal interview answer, and the interviewers will have intervened and stopped your answers if they felt you were not helping yourself. As ever, it will not come down just to how well you did, but how the entire cohort performed. In my experience, practically everyone does well, and it comes down to tiny differences. You should be proud of yourself regardless of the outcome.
Hello Dr Williams, hope you’re doing well. I’m struggling with the 47 line limit for UCAS personal statements. Would you advise leaving lines between paragraphs in the statement for clarity? Or would it be better to opt for no spaces to include more content? Thanks for reading!
Hi there, spaces between paragraphs are not required and could be dropped to add more content. Just be sure that the statement is nonetheless clear and easy to read. Check for lexical redundancy (a fancy way of saying that you may be repeating yourself and including unnecessary words). Most statements in my experience could be cut so they have spaces between paragraphs with a more efficient use of language.
Hello Professor. Hope you are doing well. Could you kindly inform us about the laws regarding applying for a student visa in the UK? I wish to apply to Oxford as an undergraduate student, and the enforcement of a new set of laws Is worrying me.
Yes, please see here: www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/applying-to-oxford/for-international-students/ELR New migration rules announced by the Home Office should not affect students wishing to pursue graduate study at UK universities.
