I am unfortunately traveling during the interview time. My first choice is my hometown, the other two has to be Skype as I cannot make any other location.

No. I dont think so. I dont think it actively 'lowers' the chance of being accepted. I just think that an in-person interview is 'better'.

Hi All..

We have one of my classmates (from the current MBA batch) in our midst.. Guess this makes my job a little easier..

Please say hi to user - yuva1michael..

Pls feel free to address your queries to either one of us and we will strive to provide answers, (keeping in mind the course requirements), as quickly as we can..

All the best to those who have been invited for interviews..

Hi,

First of all, good luck for your GMAT. I hope, you will get a good score and join us next year.

Your profile looks good and you should be competitive if your GMAT score stays closer to average of current batch (~693) and if you can bring out your achievements in your essays with a touch of feel in it. I hope you know some of the basics such as not to boast about pay-rises. You can weave stories around your promotion and roles though.

All the best.

My best wishes to all those people who got interview invite. It looks like many people have the dilemma that I had last year regarding interview options (skype versus f2f). Quick points regarding the same:

1) skype : There is no disadvantage to this option unless you are at easy travel distance from Oxford. It is common sense that adcoms might frown upon those guys who do not put the simple effort to travel to Oxford when they have the option to do so. For the people, who live far away from Oxford, it is OK to go for skype interview. I did my interview over skype last year when I was in Chicago land. Only real disadvantage for this approach is that people might not know what Oxford is all about. There is a good chance that one might fall in love with Oxford if he/she happens to visit.

2) f2f : Highly recommended if one can travel to Oxford relatively easy. One can also have the feel of Oxford Said as well as the Oxford city. After all, Oxford Said business school got some of the good facilities around (comparable to what I have seen in Booth).

regards

In-person interview confirmed for Nov 21. Best of luck everyone!

Cheers!

I have not yet received confirmation of an interview time despite my sending an email with preferences on Friday afternoon (GMT).

received confirmation as well. interestingly enough, i wasn't told the name of the interviewer since i quote 'it will be randomly selected a few hours before the interview itself'.

How was your interview experience?
