Calling all Oxford SBS MBA Applicants: 2020 Intake (Class of 2021)!

Is there any word limit on post-MBA plans essay questions? If no, what would be the desirable word limit that a candidate can maintain?

Thanks RonaAydin.
Also, Has anyone yet completed the online assessment section introduced this year in SBS application?
As per the SBS official site, there are to be 5 questions- 4 spoken and 1 written. The responses have to given via Kira Talent. I understand that there is growing trend among b-schools introducing video assessments in place of written essays.
I would like to know more about the Kira Talent video assessment tests, how they are framed, how much preparation is required and any other relevant details.

Data from previous years on Said admissions show that R2 and R3 has better odds than R1. Is it true?

You will need to complete five questions via our online assessment platform.
To virtually meet you, get a sense of your personality and see how you think on your feet, you will need to complete an online assessment as part of your application:

Two motivation-based questions - all candidates will answer the same questions
Two competency-based questions - these will be randomised
Written response - this will be randomised and light-hearted to show us how you can think on your feet!
The motivation-based questions give you the opportunity to demonstrate your motivations for undertaking an MBA and why the Oxford MBA is the right programme for you.

The competency-based questions let you demonstrate the skills and qualities we look for, such as decision-making, problem-solving, influence, leadership and strong communication skills.

After submitting an application for either the Oxford MBA or Oxford 1+1 MBA you will see a link in your application status portal. This will enable you to register with Kira Talent, our online assessment platform, and complete your assessment. You can complete this any time before the application stage deadline in which you wish to apply.

You will be provided with preparation time and practice sessions before going live with your real responses. The whole online assessment should only take up to 30 minutes for you to complete. All you need is a desktop or laptop computer with a functioning webcam, microphone and internet connection.

Any idea about the online assessment questions oxford introduced this year?

Hello everyone,

I have discussed with the director of my company about my intentions to pursue an MBA. They are very supportive of it. I am not keen ask for sponsorship because of the bond. In the application I have stated that I will return to my current employer. Would this put me at a disadvantage?

The question that I have fill in is "Describe the role you will be returning to and provide any other pertinent information".

I have a rough description of my "new" responsibilities after my MBA that I got from my discussions with my company. Is that enough?

Hello Everyone
