I got a request to post the following from Oxford admits

Hello!

We're sure that you've heard of, or witnessed the devastating news coming in from India right now. A bunch of us incoming MBA students (Class of 2022) at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford came together to figure out how we can help.

We're putting our diverse backgrounds, experiences and anecdotes to use, and offer you whatever support you need with your education/professional journey. Whether you want to chat about whether an MBA is right for you, review your essay/resume, get fresh eyes on a problem at your startup, or just make a new connection - we're here!

All we ask is that you donate what you can to a COVID-19 relief organization of your choice.

We're at -

Got done with the interview yesterday, it went well I feel, except for 1 question below. It was taken by an Associate Fellow from the Admissions committee who is also a part of the career and development team. He said he was an expert in banking and finance and he had clearly gone through my application in detail. He was really friendly and cheerful. He mostly did not ask any questions already asked in the application or KIRA earlier except:
1. Why MBA
2. Why Oxford?
3. Which other colleges have I applied to and why?

The question he asked me almost three times was Why now? He was clearly not convinced with my answer. Not sure if he was satisfied with my final answer, we moved on to the next questions.

He asked me two competency based questions:
1. Did you have a difficult stakeholder that was not ready to give into the solution you provided?
2. How did you explain to your team the impact of the work that they are doing?

He kept asking related smaller questions and for more details within these questions.

Quiet indeed! I usually do quite well in interviews but I don't know why I was really nervous for this one and blanked a couple times, I'm not sure how it went (guess we never can know really) , but I'm remaining hopeful. I've been attending these virtual Q&A sessions they are only elevating my excitement 😂 but we'll see, only a couple more days to go! Good luck everyone! 😊

I’m sorry for spamming. For anyone who doesn’t have technical background but aims to transition to a career into tech or found your own startup some day, you can consider attend this free class offered by a Booth alumna: https://www.techfornontechies.co/juneclass

Ah same here PartyP. Did you talk for most of your interview? Mine was mainly me answering her questions... not sure if that’s really bad or not.

Honestly, I don't think we should try to analyse. Sometimes we think we smash an interview, sometimes we mess up, but those are the places we get the offers from.
It was the same format for me, I was answering questions from the interviewer with some time for my questions at the end. Some questions caught me off guard which made me blank a bit, but I feel as though I followed up with good answers.
But, we'll see.

And these online zoom Q&A sessions have only been hyping me up even more with excitement!!
We've only got one more day till decisions!!!

Good luck!! I hope to see you there!
