Cambridge Geography Interview

About you

I knew I wanted to study at Cambridge since I was a child, and when I received top GCSE results, I began to seriously consider applying.

How did you find the programme?

My sister discovered the course online and suggested I try it. I was struggling to pass the Cambridge Interview at the time, so I thought a tutor could help.

How did it help with your Cambridge application?

The tuition was excellent, and having the same materials across both my tutors was really helpful.

A bit about you

I wanted to apply to study at Cambridge as a mature student, but having been out of education for so long, I didn’t want to do the application by myself.

How did you find the programme?

It was just fantastic. The tutors were excellent, and all the resources were incredibly useful. I really appreciated my tutor helping me to weave my life experience into the Interview answers and finding ways to link that to Cambridge.

How did it help with your Cambridge application?

I think it really did. It made me much more confident about applying and that I was a good candidate for Cambridge.

A bit about you

I knew I wanted to go to Oxford , but as an international student, I didn’t want to risk doing the application myself, and although my school offered some help, none of my teachers had been to Oxford themselves so I wasn’t confident they would be able to advise me well.

How did you find the programme?

A friend of mine used their other company, Medic Mind, a few years ago to help with his Medicine interview and then started working for them as a tutor. He was the one that recommended Oxbridge Mind to me and I started right away.

How did it help with your Oxbridge application?

Definitely. Being in Singapore meant that I needed lessons to be flexible in my time zone, and the tutors were able to do that for me. I used a lot of the online resources as homework and self study materials, especially before my Oxbridge Interview.

A bit about you

I attended an outreach programme at Oxbridge when I was in Year 9, and decided then that I wanted to study there. I settled on Oxford when I was in Year 11.

How did you find the programme?

I was getting good enough scores in my practice, but I was nervous about the Interviews and not very confident in writing a good enough Personal Statement. I was able to address these concerns using the Oxbridge Mind programme.

How did it help with your Oxbridge application?

It just helped me to better understand what they were looking for in a candidate and how to best show that I was that. The Personal Statement review was useful, and I actually ended up getting 3 checks done in the end, because I kept being given so many notes and I wanted to check I had done it correctly.
