Is there a limited time frame for me to complete the video interview after I have received the link? Would the link expire after a few days or remain as long as the application is open?

Hi all,

Previous admitted applicant to Oxford MBA here. If you have any questions regarding the Oxford MBA application just drop me a DM, Happy to help where I can.

If you prefer a comprehensive approach without using an admissions consultant, I've got a complete application pack for sale. It includes everything you need: a full application guide, reference letter with detailed analysis, and valuable tips.

Best regards,

Has anyone applying in Round 1 done the Kira Assessment yet? I know they mentioned that there will be 3 competency-based questions.

But do they also ask any why MBA? Why Oxford questions of any sort?

Hi guys. Is there supposed to be a confirmation email once we submitted and completed the application?

or would it only show a status update on the portal itself?

Dhaneesh_Kohli, You will get the link once you uploaded and resume and your referres submit their recommendations. You don’t need to submit the complete application to get the link. I got it before submittting the application

your resume*

Can anyone share the Kira motivation questions you were asked?

­They'll be available for Round 2 as well, with a slightly less chance of getting one (most will be allocated in round 1)
