Got a Twitter msg from @OxSBSAdmissions
"MBA applicants who applied in stage three will be informed, by email, if they have been shortlisted for an interview by the end of today"

Hi All,

I also just got accepted for the interview. So glad !

Now, the trick is that should I go to Oxford for the interview or not. About 80% I will choose the Skype since I just was in Oxford about 3 weeks ago :).

I really appreciate that you guys can give some advice on the interview on Skype.

Thanks,

Congratulations

Typically candidates in the area, esp. London, are encouraged to drop by. Others, who may have troubles getting visas so soon can go in for Skype. I have official information from the admissions committee that both skype interview and in-person interview are equal. There is no special advantage to being there in person, if you can't make it. I have to go for Skype as I won't get a visa so soon.

Hi budablasta,

Congrads to you too. Hope we can be in the same class this year :).

Visa is no problem to me as I can stay in UK without visa for 3 months (i guess, or maybe only 1 month).

Just 1200$S air ticket and all expense hurt my stomach :).

Where do you leave, then ?

Recently I got some trouble when chatting through Skype with my friend in UK. They can not hear me clearly since the connection. However, I can here them quite well. That's scared me :).

It seems that we don't have a lot of R3 applicants around

Keeping with Oxford's 800-yr history, I will say: "Hold your cheers, my lads. The war, though well-fought and hard-won, is not over."

My most challenging is to reduce my talking speed, I tend to speak really really fast when got excited :).

Hi, got an invite...

Am I right in thinking the only interview days should you wish to visit Oxford are Monday 21st and Friday 25th May?

Thanks

Hi

I am new here. I got an invite too, yes I think those were the dates I got. I will be at Oxford on the 21st of May. Is anyone going to be there - would be nice to catch up.

Any tips on the interview would be awesome too.

Thanks

Hey, got a question for everyone. This is about choosing a date for the interview from the options given. The first interview date is on the 21st and the last is on the 28th.

I can totally guess why choosing a later date for the interview can help. More time to prep. But is there any benefit to choosing an earlier date?

If you are around London, definitely make a trip over to Oxfordshire. Not only you will be able to demonstrate your interest in the school/program, but also you will be able to adapt your speaking based on body language and so on of interviewer. Of course, if you are continents away, it just might be too inconvenient to make a trip on such a short notice and the adcom understands this.
