How do you impress at an Oxbridge interview?

The key thing Oxbridge interviewers want to see is that you are teachable. They don't expect a finished product. They are looking for potential. They are looking for someone willing to think through problems, take on board new ideas and apply them to their thinking, and always discover ways to develop their points.

What type of questions do they ask at an medical interview at Oxford?


I've heard that interviewers ask strange, out-of-the-blue questions to catch students off-guard. How do I circumvent this?


In my interview, what if they ask me a question on a topic I know nothing about?


A windowless room contains 3 light bulbs, each connected to a switch outside the room. You can flip any of the switches in any order. You can then enter and look at the lights, but not touch the switches again. Which switch controls which light?
