Definitely, she’s a star! 🙌🏽

You're a very good interviewer! It's not easy to elicit 47 minutes of information from someone while keeping it varied. Very well thought out questions, and very helpful video. Thank you!

[@SailingwithSharvani]

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write such a thoughtful comment - means a lot when things I put a lot of effort into is noticed!! I’m so glad you found this helpful, best of luck!! 🥰💛

[@bethanpeters6373]

Thanks so much for this video! As an international student who is doing the application process completely alone, I rely on these sorts of things to help me! Great structure too and Dr Catherine is so lovely :)

[@SailingwithSharvani]

I completely understand where you’re coming from - I’m so glad you found this helpful! She really is so lovely, I’m so grateful she agreed to join us on this channel 🥰 Best of luck! 💜💜

Thank you so much. Even though I am not applying for Cambridge, it's such a great joy to watch this video and feel the personal touch and care from Dr Catherine.

[@SailingwithSharvani]

I’m so glad you felt that way 🥰

[@anniezz7717]

This is all really helpful advice for anyone applying to an undergrad course at Cambridge or Oxford, and matches my own experience of the process. When you described your interview Sharvani I could really see why you got in. The interview is a rare opportunity to have a focused conversation with an expert about the subject you're interested in. Make the most of that and come across as a good learner they'd find rewarding to teach and they're going to invite you back for more such conversations. Thank you Dr Catherine and Dr* Sharvani for making time for this Q&A in your busy schedules. Even though I'm not likely to be involved in another Oxbridge interview any time soon I have just watched the whole thing for some reason 😅 *Dr = Diligent reporter 👩‍💻

Thank you so much for this video! Dr Catherine really breaks down each and every aspect of the complicated application process. I used to always fear the very aspect of sitting for an interview but after watching the video I am kind of excited! The video answered my questions and even acquainted me with things I never even thought of before. I’m motivated more than ever now to apply! Thanks a lot again! Looking forward to more. Loads of love ❤️❤️💖💖

[@hrithikasarvodayan]

This is such a detailed and informative video. Thankyou so much Sharvani. I had seen Dr.Catherine's interview videos on the Sidney Sussex college channel , earlier. I think i saw her in the interview video on the Cambridge channel as well. Just listening to her talk , calms me down 😅. Once again, thankyou to Sharvani and Dr.Catherine. This whole application process seems soo complex, but when its broken down like this, its less intimidating. It gives me hope❤.

[@SailingwithSharvani]

Aww I’m SO glad you are comforted by this video and I completely agree - Catherine’s expertise and empathy genuinely is so calming and comforting 🥰 best of luck! 💛
