You don't need to know everything, but you do need to be interested in everything. I got in for Classics and we talked about instinct in my interview, specifically spiders spinning webs. They are looking for drive, curiosity and potential, not for you to be a walking encyclopaedia.

I definitely have to visit Oxford one day!

Hi there! I had a query... I am looking to apply to oxford for undergrad in medicine but i could findno scholarships available for the course on the official website.... I am an international student. Are there any?

My goat hope I get to see you one day at Oxford

Was a pleasure meeting you at the open day on Thursday

Its so architecturally beautiful. They are all like little Castles with green courts/parks in the middle. Just out of curiosity how do you get people to interact with others from other Colleges. I suppose there are clubs you can join. How do you stop people cliquing up and forming tribes? Not that I think forming tribes is a bad thing but its good to share different interactions with other tribes lol.

If you don’t have brilliant GCSE results but have subsequently been assessed and given extra time for A levels and have all A* predictions, is it still worth applying to Oxford. If so, should you explain this change in performance in your personal statement. Thanks.

another reason to for catholic unis

Ahhhh, what a nice video! I could have done with this when I got rejected from Lincoln for English in 1995. Still, better late than never! 🤣 It actually made me feel good about my rejection all these years on! I went on to get an English degree from Royal Holloway, whose English department was pretty highly ranked at the time. It still is, but not as high as then. Afterwards, I got a master's in English from the University of Sussex, chosen because I'm from Brighton and my dad was a lecturer at Sussex Uni, so we got a discount. Therefore, each time, I couldn't have gone to Oxford. And now I work at a famous book publisher, for an old and highly respected imprint, editing famous, household-name authors. So I'm probably exactly where I would have been if I'd got into Oxford, because my aim was always to work in book publishing. This tutor is right; not getting in to Oxford really does not hold you back. Sidenote: I married a Cambridge man. I have found that if you don't get into Oxbridge, you can marry someone who went there and be Oxbridge-adjacent always. 😂😂😂

I enjoyed the open day a lot, but now super confused in which college to apply to; all the colleges were amazing.

Hi Matt! Hope to perhaps see you in August? Will you be around? 😊

Interesting interpretation of 'we are OPEN' haha

Beautifully said.

It was really nice visiting Jesus college and meeting you in person

Even your short videos are inspiring.

Hello sir, i'm from india loved your all vedios, there's a question i'm curious to know, actually my 12th grade wasn't that good enough so my question is do they look at other that tiny qualities knowing that my grades were mad or just skip my application after seeing grades, i'm planning to do masters btw

St Edmund Hall is mostly called Teddy Hall … 🥳

That was really helpful Dr. Williams! It is such a pleasure to listen to you!Precise and simple analogies!

See you soon!!!

Good evening sir I am an international student so i have not had the chance to do an EPQ but have done some of my independent research(writen a research paper) (not published). Can i include that in my personal statement

Will 4 A Level subjects be more competitive than 3 A Level subjects? (Will 3A* look better than 3A*1A?) How will Oxford decide the grades on a conditional offer? Thank you.

Oxford is so basically Cambridge worse.

Wild camera work!😎

The cinematography is excellent. Oxford's charm and appeal go beyond academics; it’s also the vibrant community and connections outside the classroom set amidst a stunning and historically rich campus. Excited to be visiting in the fall!

Where's the 🗑️🚮 trash leaking in from 56

Wtf😊

Best university in the world! - From an Oxford reject who ended up going to Amercia

💩💩💩

Hi, I've just finished my A Levels and I was wondering whether Oxford looks at whether you are currently studying at a university when applying while making their decision. I had low predicted A Levels the year before, hence I did not apply to Oxford but I would like to do so this year.

Basically don't write "I like history because it is fun"

❤🙏

could you do these videos also for graduate students' applications?

Hi, I’m a student who studies at a private school with very high scorers. In the GCSE exam series's, I drastically underperformed due to a lack of effort, which I of course have no excuse for. I would like to know if I do really well in A levels, which I’m confident I can do, and do many supercurricular activities, as well as doing great in the admissions test, is it possible to have a chance of admission?

I don't believe a word he has said...I'm doubting that his name is Matt
