牛津要面试啦-赶紧看过来！

自10.15前在UCAS递交申请以后，牛津在11月末陆续发出了面试邀请。每个专业面试的时间不一样，基本在12月8日开始那周，或者12月15日开始那周。收到邮件的孩子都知道自己的具体时间。想知道总的详细的信息可以参考下面网站信息：

牛津非常友好，去了管吃管住，有些孩子（符合条件的）在英国内部的差旅费还报销哈。

在收到面试通知的兴奋消退之后，你会像许多候选人一样，开始问自己一系列问题，我学习了一天，收集了不少信息，说实话，以前都是申请剑桥，对牛津的了解不是特别深。

1. 有多少人面试，录取率多少？去一次不容易，多少要算点赢面啊！

先回答第一个问题，官网上的数据，2018年牛津本科生的总人数是11930人，非欧盟成员的本科生为1459人。

其中有中国籍本科生410人（见下图）

别忘记这是3年的学生，所以，大概率除以3基本就是一届的学生数量。再加上一些收到录取没有来的，估计中国每年收到牛津录取的人数应该不大会超过200人。

下面是官网对今年的描述，一共有21500人申请牛津，约10000人会收到面单，实际录取人数为3000多人。基本感觉是3个里面录取1个。

2. 谁面试我？会问啥？

这个问题大家最关心了。牛津官网贴心的回答了。再说一次，有问题先看官网，其他网站一定没有官网靠谱。

Who will interview me?

You will be interviewed by academic tutors, usually within a college. They teach and research at the University and decide who studies here. Normally you will be interviewed by two tutors, occasionally more. If you are applying for a joint course, with two or more subjects, you should expect to be interviewed by tutors representing each of the subjects. For some joint courses you may be interviewed separately for each subject area.

直接是教授来面试，一般两个教授，如果选双专业的，可能会有两个领域教授分别面试。

What will I be asked?

Tutors will understand that you may be nervous and will try to put you at your ease. They want you to feel able to be yourself in the interview, and to allow you to demonstrate your skills and abilities. They will probably ask you a few simple questions to begin with: perhaps about something in your personal statement or why you have applied for a particular course. They will then move on to questions about your subject. Depending on what is relevant for the course you are applying for, you may be given a text, a poem, a graph, or an object, and then asked to answer questions and comment on it. You may be given these before the interview, and will be advised if there is anything in particular on which you need to focus. Tutors may also refer to any written work that you were asked to submit. Questions may be about the subjects that you are currently studying at school or college. However, you will also be offered opportunities to show whether you have read around the subject and to demonstrate your knowledge and interest beyond your school or college syllabus.

会让你展示自己的能力，也可能先问一些你文书上的问题，或者问你为何申请这个专业。官网很贴心的给出了问题样本，每个专业都有，建议拿到面单的孩子都看下，家长一定要转给孩子，面试前看下，安心！

3. 如何准备？

牛津官网上也说了，要考虑以下几点:

a. 要想清楚，你为何选这个专业？ （学术）

b. 关注自己的专业术语，准备如何描述。 （继续学术）

c. 没必要找培训。 （友情提醒）

d. 了解以前学生写的经历。 （指导方法）

这些不是我说的，是牛津官网说的，自己看下面链接，比我写的详细多了。你们到了牛津住下后，碰到学生就可以开始聊起来了，他们是过来人，可以给很多指点的。

4. 面试怎么安排的？

牛津的面试时间比较长，一般是要在学校待两天，去了才知道面试安排。非常有可能会有两个学院面试，也不排除更多。要等学校通知确认再也没有面试安排了，才能离开。去了以后会有学长服务，安排面试的，家长其实不用去。孩子在学校里面会被安排的很好。

面试的时候穿着舒服就行，不需要西装领带。学校的官网上提出了要带的东西的建议，大家参考下：

What should I bring?

Your invitation letter will let you know what to bring but here are some general recommendations:

· Copies of your personal statement and any written work that you have submitted (tutors may refer to these during your interview)

· A mobile phone and charger (so that the college can contact you if they need to)

· Something to do: it's a good idea to bring a book or some current school or college work, as relatively little of your time will be actually spent in interviews. Current students will be looking after you and may arrange some social events to help you stay relaxed and enjoy your time in Oxford.

文书不但要带，还要记住，别问起来和文书上说的不一致啊。其他的我估计不提醒你也会带。

最后，估计很多学生现在都在办签证，订机票，不用太着急，真的去不了，根据以往的经验，一般也会网面的。只是现场面试可以有两个以上的学院面试，网面就只有一个学院，相对来说会吃亏一些。淡定，祝大家好运！
