[quote=Anonymous] We looked into this for our DC this year. The school counselor knew him and thought it might be a good fit. We were told that Oxford doesn't care about your extra-curricular activities and social activism compared to US schools, they care about you analytic abilities (there is also a funny line about this in the movie Admission with Tina Fey). We were told that the interviews would count as much or even more than your transcript. They might hand a kid a poem to read on the spot and then ask you to argue over interpretation -- all of this actually appealed to our child a great deal! Ultimately, DC did not apply because 1) you do have to apply for a specific major, it is only 3 years, and you have very little flexibility in electives; and (2) none of us were that comfortable with needing to fly over an ocean to get to and from school.
