Oxford interview video

Post by Warks mum »

This has just been tweeted by a physics professor at Oxford who will be interviewing this month so I guess he considers it's reasonable!

The link took me to a girl called Danni who was being interviewed for Philosophy - have I gone wrong somewhere?

That's correct - the link was tweeted by someone who conducts interviews at Oxford (albeit in a completely different subject) so I thought it was worth passing on. It's effectively been sanctioned as a true record of one person's experience of the interview process. Everyone's experience will be different, but I thought it might be useful for those whose DCs are embarking on the journey!

Ah, I obviously misunderstood - from your original post, I assumed that it was going to be some poor Physics applicant being given what appears to be a hard time :shock: . I can't help thinking, though, that I would worry just a little if an interviewer's response to something I'd said was, 'We didn't think you'd say that'!
