How to prepare for an interview in Cambridge Oxford?

Study Abroad Interview Preparation.

1. Read the invitation carefully.

Everyone is usually aware of this, but it's easy to miss the details. Read the invitation carefully, it may even ask you to bring certain documents or prepare a task that you will need to do on the day of the interview.

2. Review your personal statement.

During the interview, you may be asked to explain or expand on a part of your personal statement, so try to think about the questions they might ask.

3. Understand the subject.

Do your homework in advance and understand all the information about the subject you are interviewing, such as: course introduction, course offerings, career direction, etc.

4. Familiar with the application materials.

There will be some points in the interview questions that are the same as those in the personal statement and resume, so you must pay attention to the consistency of the statement, which can be further processed on this basis, but it must not be the opposite.

5. Make a draft.

For the questions to be asked in the interview, make a written record of your answers, and make scrutiny and modifications to ensure that you can be clear in the formal interview, so that you can express your answers clearly and naturally within the time required by the system.

6. Tidy up your appearance.

Because you can see yourself during the interview, in case your self-confidence is damaged due to image problems, which affects your performance.

7. Mental state is very important.

Although we need to be very well prepared for the content of the interview, we should not ignore the mental state during the interview. Relaxed, confident, smiling, humorous to express your own opinions, so that the interviewer has a good mood when looking at your **.

Key points of the online interview: The interview time is quite variable.

1.For this year's interviews, Oxford will arrange at least one interview with one college, and will not reduce the number of interviews due to online interviews.

2.The time of one and two sides of the discipline is on the official website, and the time for some subjects that require additional tests is also on the official website. Friends must determine their interview time in advance. (The official website shows the local time in the UK, so you have to calculate the time difference.) ）

3.Interviewers outside the UK may be scheduled for interviews at other times, and the school will notify the interviewers by email at least 24 hours in advance, so don't forget to check your email every day! (At the same time, it should be noted that the information may be in the spam category, so be careful.) ）

Online interview focus: different subjects and different equipment.

This year, because the online remote interview is special, in addition to the people to be prepared, the equipment should also be prepared in advance.

The official requires everyone to take the Microsoft Teams software in advance. Each interview has an invitation link in the software (the school will also send an email notification). Because there is more than one interview, and the links corresponding to different interviews are also different, so you need to check the links before the interview.

Interview points that still need to be paid attention to.

1.At the beginning of the interview, the interviewer will ask basic questions (e.g., why are you applying for this major?). Why Oxford).

2.Most interviewers will be very concerned about the interviewee's understanding of the subject and their own thinking logic, so you can be flexible during the interview! Thinking about dialectical issues from different angles can also be combined with the current situation of disciplines in today's society.

Of course, if your subject has reading suggestions, be sure to check them out in advance!

3.You have to be familiar with your own ps! Most interviewers will be interested in what you write! Prepare well for the things mentioned in the PS paperwork

Many seniors said that if you really encounter a problem in the interview, don't panic! The interviewer will not kill you directly, they pay more attention to your thinking process, and even in the previous interview, there were friends who were at a loss, and the professor directly guided you to think, and then suddenly solved the problem!
