You can also provide this information as part of your personal statement, or the teacher's academic reference. Both Cambridge and Oxford consider school performance and your location to help place your educational achievement into context when assessing applications.
Your academic record may also be considered in the context of the normal performance of your school. If you're applying to Cambridge, your teachers can submit an Extenuating Circumstances form directly to the university, providing information relating to your circumstances.
Oxford encourages teachers to include details of any special circumstances or other relevant information in the main UCAS application. At Oxford, where applications are around six per place, around half of all applicants are shortlisted for interview. For the most competitive degrees, the applicants who most closely meet the selection criteria may have multiple interviews.
The purpose and structure of interviews are very similar at both universities. Essentially, they are like a mini-tutorial or supervision, where the tutors will give you a small passage to read or perhaps set a small problem and then ask you to discuss it.
Contrary to many popular myths about the interviews, there are no tricks or mind games involved. The interview is for tutors to get a sense of how you react to new situations and how you process the information available. It's not a matter of how quickly — or even whether — you arrive at a particular answer. There may not even be a right answer. The tutors just want to get an insight into how you think and how you apply your knowledge and skills.
Your performance at the interview alone does not determine whether you get offered a place; a variety of factors are considered, as outlined above. However, no commercial test will influence your application success, and neither university supports nor encourages such commercial enterprises. Collegiate system Both universities are made up of individual colleges, as well as different academic departments.
If you prefer not to choose a college, you can make an open application. Teaching methods Teaching methods are similar at both universities, with lectures, seminars, classes and laboratory work as appropriate for your course.
