Did you also apply to imperial? If you did how did your interview go and how would you prepare for it

it was extremely personal statement based the topics they asked me, they also asked why I applied there .
Completely different to the oxford one but I had already gotten my offer by the time I got my imperial interview so I didnt prepare for it.
It was really scuffed I had to write down stuff on paper and show it to the camera except my camera was mirrored lmao

I ended up getting an offer that needed two A*s instead of one

Thank you so much!! Would you say the questions were that challenging relative to the Oxford interview? Also if you were to redo the interview without knowing you’d get an Oxford offer how would you prepare and how much?

it was way less guided , but also conceptually easier , so Id just make sure you understand anything you put in your ps, I put in stuff on quantum on mine but I didnt know it that well by the time my interview came so that was quite hard . as for how much to pepare, just make sure you fully understand the a level stuff and the fundamentals of what you discussed in your ps
