I would still apply. I had a low GPA but had a strong GMAT with solid work experience, and I was admitted.

I would say myself and most other applicants I met felt the interviews were pretty relaxed. Be prepared to answer a few behavioral questions, such as "explain a challenge you encountered at work and how you ever came it". Other questions revolved around my prior work experience and how this connected with my post-MBA ambitions.
Keep in mind the interviewer is likely looking to answer the following - "Is this a person that can bring positive contributions to the class and work well with classmates? And in the case of an applicant seeking employment post-MBA, "is this person employable post graduation?" - obviously here they recognize that career ambitions for many people change over the course of the program. Best of luck.

Three key objectives of the SBS interview process are to understand whether you are ready for an MBA, whether you are committed to this particular business school, and whether you know where you will go in life with this MBA. It goes without saying that nobody will hold you accountable in a year from now if your plans do indeed change. The interviewer is simply trying to better understand whether you have identified your strengths and weaknesses and whether you have the ability to contribute in classroom discussions.
Keeping these points in mind, be prepared to answer the classic questions: Why MBA? Why now? Why Oxford? Additionally, be prepared to talk about key learnings from at least one major achievement and one major setback in your career. My interview included these classic questions and the interviewer tried everything they could to make me feel comfortable with the interview process.
edit: Also remember to smile. And speak with confidence. Good luck!
