I have just submitted my application and done with the Kira interview as well.

1. How long you have been planning to do an MBA and what skills can Oxford bridge to help to achieve your goal?
2. Why Oxford?
3. When did you ask for help and why?
4. Diversity - Writing part

It went well. Kira status is yet to be updated on the portal.

Thank you!!

Sorry I have another question - are we allowed to keep any pen/ paper w us to write down our thoughts during the prepration time?

I can't imagine why not :) They're not trying to test you - if writing down stuff in those ~30 seconds helps you, by all means do it.

Done with my Kira. Adding it so R3 and other students can read it even though the R2 deadline is almost done.

1) Why an MBA and why now? What specific skills/gaps would it help with?
2) What makes Oxford MBA unique compared to other programs?
3) Imagine you're stressed at work. How would you deal with it?
3) (Written) Describe the colour yellow in less than 200 words.

I did not get a KIRA essay when i applied this year

Is this because I am a reapplicant?

What will happen, if we have submitted the application but not the KIRA talent.
Still haven’t received the link. And within half an hour, the deadline will be complete

I just did my Kira assessment

I was very nervous and ran out of time.

How do I come back from it?

You don’t mate but don’t worry about it. It’s a pretty common thing to underperform on trust me many have messed it up and gotten through

It’s more to put a face to your profile and hear you speak in English (okay I may have over simplified things here)

But crux is don’t worry about it
