As someone who is also International (albeit not from Malaysia or Singapore) and taking a gap year this was really inspiring to see. It's helpful to have these different student perspectives and I think that what Claudia said about not letting your application define your self worth is incredibly important. Thank you both of you! :)

Hi! I'm a Year 11 student dreaming of studying undergraduate law at Oxford, but I feel that I'll probably end up getting mostly 7s, with a few higher grades and maybe like a 6 in a weaker subject. There were a few circumstances that I think would be considered to have affected my schooling, but do you think that I'd have a chance if the rest of my application ends up really strong?

what "Massive dopamine hit later on in life"??!?!

A true and deep understanding of science can only be had from the study of the classics.

Can I get into the Oxford university for medicine with AAA for Biology, Chemistry & Physics in A levels from Sri Lanka? Or do I have to take IELTS exam also? Please kindly anwer my question if you don't mind. 🙏

At 15 years old, can I read books on the university book list now and then in my personal statement 3-4 years down the line talk about it. Also great video! Wanting to take Mathematics at uni one day

The phrasing sounds like such a ridiculous question can you defend the indefensible?

can you make a video for Masters please ?

I would say stop wasting my time with this pseudo-intellectual pretentious bs and just apply elsewhere.

Interesting interview! The interviewer was welcoming and was taking it seriously but also very friendly 10/10

How does one get research experience, if you didn't get an opportunity to do so at university?

I have never thought of studying and I know that part is my fault but I did had my own issues that never gave me a chance to think of wanting to get into such remarkable universities. I never was as lucky as other kids to have friends to hear about dreams. What's past is past, currently I'm at second half of my bachelor's. I didn't do great. I have a 2.91 GPA but I'm willing to start from right today. I have wrote down my exam plan, I'll try my best to have a chance, the confidence of applying to Oxford. I hope there's a chance for me to do better, I have 4 semesters left. I hope to get a better GPA by the end. I hope growth counts as something. I'm writing this to promise right here that I will at the very least have my resume uploaded.

Hi! ill be applying to Cambridge this year and was wondering if the information on your channel, regarding interviews, and other tips to maximise my chances of getting into Oxford equally applied to Cambridge. I assume most of it will work regardless of my which university it is however I was wondering if you had any advice catering to Cambridge specifically, thank you so much ! ive learned lots from your videos.

Hello! In my personal point of view studying linguistics is a very useful subject for people who are interested in mastering and perfectioning their speaking skills in general. What do I mean by that? After you have been studying linguistics for a while, you can really reach a more technical and more effective level of communication to be understood better and clearer for most people academicly and professionally. Thanks a bunch Jesus College, Oxford University for this brilliant and uplifting online sesion.

I don't think i would be able yo study at OXFORD but I did enjoy your duscussion nonetheless. It's fascinating being able to think for oneself. I love philosophy and thinking about everything. 😊

Thanks so much this is so helpful. Would you say that some journal articles are better than others? If so how do you know which are and aren't

hi sir, im applying next year and was wondering, what sort of personality types do you often look for in your interviewees? other than the ability to be an out of the box thinker, what sort of traits and quirks do you see often in a lot of oxford students, especially in medicine ? Thanks.

I'm glad to see Kahneman getting the recognition he deserves. I picked up his book a few days ago, and it's fascinating!

Hello! I’m a current IGCSE student and have a confusion about Oxford requirements for the subjects. It’s already confirmed that you are required to have grades such as 8s and 9s (A and A*) but **do students have to choose at least 8 or 9 subjects to be able to apply?** I searched and it keeps saying 8 and 9 but I wasn’t sure whether it’s talking about the grade you should have or the amount of subject you need to take to be able to apply.

thank you dr. matt for your help! i know it’s may and way after lnat results day but i truly believe that your video contributed to me achieving a 25 in my lnat! thank you so much!! i really appreciate it!!

Am curious is it possible to do a 4 year course and finish within 3 or 2 consider some people do finish faster and learn faster than your average peer

Who you talking to?

Oxford has a lot of well-educated people from comfortable backgrounds that are not smart. I've worked at UoO for over a decade as a researcher.

Wow, how very useless for the work market.

The last bye😂

I have one question - I will get my class 12th marks in May So should I apply this year or in 2025

Hey! I'm from India and preparing for law. I have question - I will get my class 12th marks on May 2025, so should I apply this year or not?

What a farce 😂 The question should be, how much money does Daddy have?

If smartness is a choice why don't some dogs decide to be as smart as humans?

Didn’t even apply to Oxford but now I’m a huge fan of him

They say very employable, but I once had a recruiter from a software company who had a Masters and a PhD in Italian Studies from Oxford University. As in they have advanced degrees, are almost 40 years old, and are only just someone calling and trying to recruit graduates. Sure, you are employable, but high salary expectations are difficult to justify,

Shame about the sound quality.

Hey Matt another question, my Madhyamik exam (also known as secondary exam) in India which is equivalent to the GCSE exam of UK was not good at all... Basically I didn't meet up the expected grade that Oxford requires to understand that I could be capable of learning academically....Now honestly my academics in school doesn't suits me at all and I feel that it's very stressful for me to study in this way for which I never ever tried to discover earlier that I can be good academically too....now I'm preparing myself for the Higher secondary exam in India which is equivalent to the A levels in UK and so I'm thinking to apply the Oxford University after getting my A levels grades.....like generally a student should apply in the year of their A Levels but I want to apply after I get my results of my A levels ....so my question is am I doing the right thing like is it okay if I apply to Oxford after getting my results of A levels or should I apply to Oxford even if my GCSE grades doesn't meet the Oxford University's requirement..... please guide me with this

The new Jesus collage building is lovely 🎉

Perhaps you can use this theme of maturity to reflect back on all aspects of attending Oxford for future videos Im sure you'll think if something !! PS watched most of your KZbin videos as daughter applying next year you are a wonderful ambassador for Oxford GH

Of course a robot can have a gender, because it entirely depends on an engineer who creates it. Robot is a product created by humans and humans are terribly creative 😅

Thank you so much for this video. Although, I am still an 8th grader I have found countless valuable insights in this video that will , without a doubt help me in my journey in the field of English literature and essay writing. I especially appreciated the part of the video regarding the importance of planning, as I am currently navigating my way through planning an essay on the cause and effects of the American colonists leaving England.

Hey Matt...this is a request to you from my side please consider it....please make a separate video with full details of the procedures that Oxford follows to select the undergraduate international students to offer the fully funded scholarship programs.....I want to take up Psychology, philosophy and linguistics as my combination, so it would be helpful for me to get rid of the narrative that I possess of "only rich people can afford to study in Oxford" .....I do have financial crisis and that is the reason I have my concern about this certain thing

The questions fine. 12 hours of writing sounds like the problem

UPSC is way more tougher than this for sure.

If the robot wants a gender it can have it, once they rise up I wanna be on their good sides 😂

Nah, nah, sure.

What about jee advanced and Gaokao ?

I don't think a robot can have a gender because gender is an entirely social concept. A robot does not have sense perception or emotional expression; it could turn the heating on if instructed to do so, but would never feel warmth or the cold. To feel is contingent on being sentient and robots are not, because they are programmed by humans to fulfil certain actions. Similarly, it has no sense of individuality or separation from humanity as its creator, therefore it would be incapable of acquiring any sense of self, including gender identity. Even if it was said to be 'male' or 'female' by its programmer it would not feel or hold the values. Although now that I think about it, the concept of gender is moulded around society and therefore it is not an autonomous pursuit to have a gender- even those who say they are non-binary are part of a community. However, this idea applies to humanity too, so I wouldn't argue that robots have a gender. They are unable to form genuine emotional connections and communities and therefore incapable of having a gender.

If they can successfully justify the 70p price tag of Wham bars then I say admit them on that alone

I did NOT expect you to suddenly break into Japanese. Wow. That's incredibly impressive

These common habits are so simple but still most people don't follow, there is a lack of common sense in this world...

love your videos!!

"universities are a very strange branch of the entertainment industry" that's some good shit

I am in 12th standard in India, and I have partaken in quizzes and MUNs. Do these extra curriculars actually increase my chances
