EDIT: Turns out I can't bloody edit and cut out half the section talking about my spanish interview - basically it went much better -messed up the speaking section but other than that it was much better! Hey guys - thank you for watching this video. It's definitely an honest video that has traced the emotional rollercoaster that has been the last few days. If I'm honest, I'm feeling pretty down and dejected, and primarily disappointed in myself, as I know I could have done so much better. My heart hurts more than I thought it could and I just want to curl up in a ball and cry. To fall short at the final hurdle after SO much work is horrible, and sadly being there for the last few days has made me fall in love with the place even more. When you have a true passion for a subject, it’s heartbreaking not to be given a chance to truly get that across. Despite all of this, I'm still proud of myself for at least brushing myself off and stepping up to the plate in my second interview - which is something I didn't think I would be able to do. I put my everything into this, and I think it's only now that i've had to admit how much it all meant to me. But hey ho! Now it is a waiting game. Thanks for supporting me as always - I hope you enjoy this video. X ps. sorry if there are anymore editing bloopers - wanted to get this up ASAP but my brain is the most fried it has ever been!

[@amersobassiouny5735]

Revision With Eve don't worry Eve be proud of yourself and whatever happens know your amazing a d you will succeed one way or another!! 💗

[@serinat2181]

Revision With Eve You'll have done amazingly! I know you've got in to Oxford trust me! I'm so confident you've done better than you think! Remember when you thought you failed your exam but you got an A in it at AS?! 🤗

[@alicebrewer4410]

Completely felt like this in my first interview for English Literature at Cambridge! they seemed really cold and I had no idea what the poems gave me meant :// second interview much more fun and interesting! not sure I redeemed myself though so it looks like Durham for me!

[@jadekong1301]

Don't worry about it eve. I am sure you did amazing! 🙂🙂🙂

[@LightsCameraMSP]

Eve, you're so honest and pure The reality is that not everyone finds their oxford interviews perfect, in fact the TSR has shown that out of the 60 candidates who rated their 2017 oxford interview, those who scored a 1-4 out of 10 for their interview actually got the offers other than those who said 8-10 out of 10. I guess the reason that you are feeling down is because you are challenged! And GIRL going to Oxford is going to challenge you every day but you overcame that and I'm sure the interviews can see that from your apt performance you clearly deserve a place because there is a gap for them to fill! They can teach you! You did well!!!!

[@Faith-sr8zw]

Oxford or not, you will be successful in whatever you go into and that's what matters

[@felicityaeh]

They don't care only about if you get the answers right or know absolutely everything. It's more about how you think and how you cope in the situation and when you don't know it already. They are fine if you don't know the answer as long as you are clever in how you combat that and how you try to work it out.

[@danielleyates2976]

Honestly my interviews went the exact same (History and English). They didn’t refer to any of my UCAS or submitted work or even extra reading. I felt like there was no discussion as the tutors had set questions so I wasn’t able to direct the conversation to something I felt comfortable talking about in depth. It wasn’t at all what I was expecting but everyone I have spoken to has said the same. I’m sure you have done so much better than you feel you have - it’s natural to feel this way after an interview.

[@AlexandraBrooke]

Danielle Yates mine was exactly the same. It completely threw me!

[@danielleyates2976]

Alexandra Brooke in my English interview the tutor specifically asked what books I was studying as part of my school modules - not what I was reading outside of the curriculum so all the extra reading has felt like such a waste. I’m glad other people have felt the same though.

[@AlexandraBrooke]

Danielle Yates mine didn’t even ask about that. They literally only asked about the essays I had submitted to them and the unseen text. I felt so unprepared

[@Rose22479]

@@danielleyates2976 I'm applying for History and English this year, could I ask which college you interviewed at?

[@danielleyates2976]

Rose22479 Exeter college x

[@amyhosking7439]

don't worry! literally i said so much stupid shit in my interviews but got an offer - they look at everything, not just how well you do on the day! don't fret now as you literally never know what theyve seen in you that you can't see in yourself xx

[@shfoshs1328]

Hey Eve. Just wanted to say a huge well done for getting to the interview stage. I've been following your revision channel from the beginning and really appreciate how honest you are about your academic endeavours, especially as a language student. I'm in Year 12 right now, studying German, hoping to go to Cambridge for Japanese, and I really admire how real you've been about the interview process. Remember that Oxbridge consider your application holistically! I have every faith that you have done the absolute best you can and I'm sure that wherever you go, Oxford or not, you will shine. I wish you the absolute best of luck with your Oxford application - you are so nearly there!

[@AlexandraBrooke]

Eve I literally felt the same in my interviews last year for Cambridge. But sometimes even if you mess up an interview if they really like you then you still have a chance at getting a place. You’ve put so much work and effort in so you should be really proud of yourself nevertheless. Don’t feel too disheartened about it because you’ll be incredibly successful wherever you end up

[@vanessarothe5912]

When I applied for French and German I thought my German interview went absolutely awfully and I was convinced that I wasn’t going to get in (especially because I wasn’t asked to do any more interviews). But I ended up getting an offer ! Honestly you really can’t tell how well or badly your interviews have gone, it’s just a waiting game. I’m sure you’ve done way better than you think xx

[@RevisionWithEve]

Vanessa Rothe thanks this has made me feel better xxx

[@alicesaunders3147]

Eveee, just wanted to say the biggest congratulations on getting this far with your Oxford application, such a massive achievement💜 Just remember that you're worth so much more than interviews and grades and often these things work out for the better girl!! Hope you have a happy and healthy Christmas🎄✨

[@imanazam1510]

Aw Eve you're so bright regardless if Oxford accept you or not ( I've got a good feeling about it but who knows ) . Just keep pushing yourself and we know you'll go far

[@martevandergraaf923]

Hey Eve I'm a first year at The Queen's College Oxford doing German! I honestly felt exactly the same as you after my interview last year. I cried so much because I was convinced that I had completely messed up! The poem they gave me was about 5 lines long and I literally didn't know what it was about at all so I was just making up stuff and then in the section where they asked me questions in German I actually didn't know how to answer one of the questions (couldn't figure out how to use the conditional lol) and sat there in silence and then my tutor had to ask me another question. I really thought last year that if I didn't get pooled to another college then I'd have absolutely no chance of getting in because I was so disappointed in myself and I knew I could have done so much better butttt I've now just finished my first term in Oxford! The tutors are honestly looking for potential and seeing how your brain works I think. They know that you're going to be so so nervous so they massively take it into account. I just want you to know that literally everything you said was how I felt coming out of my interviews last year so definitely don't give up hope!! 💛

[@martevandergraaf923]

Also about the way the tutors are in interviews, I think a lot of them purposefully put on a blank face which makes them look like they aren't interested so that people don't really know how they've done. It's so funny because I was absolutely terrified of my tutor in the interview last year and I really thought he hated me but I absolutely love him now and he's actually really funny and lovely not scary!

[@pansyd137]

Hey Eve! I'm a first year biologist at Oxford :) Your interview experience sounds very similar to mine. My first interview (at Magdalen- didn't apply there) was absolutely dreadful (also came out crying lol); I went into the second one with my hopes dashed and so putting no pressure on myself. Turns out I really enjoyed it and that is seemingly a good sign- I ended up getting an offer from them!

[@pansyd137]

Do try not to agonise over it the next few weeks. You're definitely not out of the running!

[@kiayah]

Really hope Eve sees this comment; well done for getting into Oxford😊

[@izzymontgomery8237]

Don't worry! My friend also got given a poem and she had no clue what it meant in her Spanish Oxford interview last week! X I'm sure you did amazing xx

[@roselizabeths]

Oh my god Eve sorry to say this but in a way I'm so relieved to see your reaction to the german interview because I came out of both of my history interviews (at Somerville lol) crying 😭 my english one went a bit better but honestly I can relate SO much to everything you were saying about the first one !! Well done for all of it though it's amazing achievement to get an interview (and to get through the interviews!!!) ❤️❤️

[@amyd7301]

I had to analyse a poem for my interview as well and the interviewer made me feel like so stupid!! I bawled my eyes out afterwards but I got in!

[@alexxxx7854]

No hate bc ily to pieces but it really stresses me out when you get so upset and worried about something when you’re so good you no doubt did it better than anyone else could😂😕 You will have done so much better than you thought you have and even to come this far is a huge achievement! You and your family and friends must be so proud!!!🥂You need to believe in yourself more bc you’re perfect❤️❤️ Don’t worry about it, you’re amazing no matter what eve😘😘

[@hypermangi8265]

Nobody is perfect fam, but I get what you mean :\

[@Jasmine-tr7yf]

[@xalexflanaganx]

omor jade didn't

[@imaginarylarry7683]

A Flanagan jade really deserved to get in :((

[@xalexflanaganx]

imaginarylarry Ikr she's well smart and got the same grades as Eve ah well must have been something to do with her interview or whatever

[@kiram1691]

A Flanagan a large part of the decision is how the interview goes. They analyse your personality and whether you’re suited to the environment in an interview. It’s quite a corrupt way of doing things if you ask me, but that’s the way they do it. They must’ve just decided Jade wasn’t suited to the environment and we have to trust them on that. It’s whatever though, Oxford isn’t everything, there will be other opportunities for Jade.

[@Elleanor-ck7pr]

it made my heart break when you were crying! don't worry about it, you'll have done better than you think x

[@skyemillward6797]

Watchin this after you just found out you got in and I’m so proud of you 💕

[@owenmcardle6414]

Current French and German student here at the Other Place (Cambridge). As such I won't claim to be an expert on Oxford interviews, but a couple of things to bear in mind: first of all that they're not looking for the finished article - otherwise they wouldn't have anything to teach you - but rather for someone that is going to cope in the system and who they will like teaching. I'm convinced that what they're actually concentrating on is 'deeper down' than whether you use the wrong word here or there. I've said some incredibly stupid things in supervisions (tutorials) before - including a low point where I didn't understand the text that I'd just written a commentary on. Also the interview is but one small bit of your application. Again I think we do things differently to Oxford, but at Cambridge they interview about 80% of applicants and take a much smaller number, but they already have some idea as to the ones they're going to take before the interviews begin. They're just looking for the interview to back up what they already know about you, and as I've said it probably did that. Again I don't think Oxford collect as much data as Cambridge, but the principle is probably similar. Basically don't worry, you and your application are more than the interview, so don't let it ruin your Christmas. (Also the Spanish interviewer probably genuinely didn't know whether you'd done your German interview, let alone how well you did in it. As someone who's worked as a student interview helper, let me reassure you that they're too busy to be chatting away on the day about how candidates did.)

[@MrFrancescaxox]

Had my interview for Cambridge on Monday and was honestly the worst experience of my life!! No questions about my personal statement it was just on the maths test I did there and I literally got all of the questions wrong. But remember they picked you for a reason and everybody gets nervous and thinks their interview goes terribly!! Don’t worry x

[@Ash-en4ul]

Did you get in

[@indigobeam]

I had my interview for Cambridge a few days ago and came out of my interview feeling like an idiot - the man was properly laughing at me when I didn't give the right answers and they didn't ask me anything about my personal statement or subject specific extra curricular or anything...felt like such a waste of time putting all the work in for them just to ask me about this reading they gave me that I had no idea about! But fingers crossed there's still a chance x

[@lauraj2294]

ab00199 9 I think top unis are really snobby at interviews they think their higher than everyone but you’ll probably still get in they grill everyone. You’ll still get in just believe in yourself!xx

[@chloematthews8892]

Eve regardless if you get in to Oxford we will all still have your back and love you the same. This Monday I got a straight rejection from my dream uni since year 10. But I’ve got over it and you move on. Wherever you go you’ll be the amazing beautiful wonderful you... don’t let this get you done beautiful💖💖 Keep your head up!xxx

[@booknerd3365]

You probably did amazing eve! I bet you will get accepted, just remember to thing positive. In the unlikely event of you not getting accepted it's them who are missing out not you!! Your amazing and they would be wrong in the head not to accept you!!

[@marthasoares6790]

Eve don't stress u will do well in whatever u do! My sister is applying for music at oxford and had her interviews last week and she came home and said it was all so intense and stressful so don't worry about it u will do great! X

[@SuperPrettyUnicorn]

In my interview for chemistry I completely blanked and forgot what a ketone was and I still got an offer, I don’t think it gets worse than that lol. Believe in yourself because I’m sure you will get an offer❤️

Abi do u go to oxford? X

[@zetch972]

Abi what a levels did you do?

[@samuelstrijdom]

Hey! Current History and Economics student at Worcester here. Sorry that you had two horrid interviews, it’s a really sucky experience. Don’t get too overwhelmed when thinking about how you did in them though, or about pooling decisions etc. I only had two interviews, and some people had loads and loads. So many of my friends had what they thought were ‘car crash’ interviews, especially those doing MFL, but they still got in. Interviews are only a part of what they use to make their final decisions, and they base it on GCSE grades, personal statement, essays, aptitude tests, teachers recommendations as well! Also, Worcester language tutors are pretty mean, from what friends say.

[@katmavin9492]

eve honestly i wouldn’t worry about it, you’ll only remember the things that went badly in the interview and not the good things - don’t be disheartened! good luck!

[@MegCubitt]

Ok eve I’m gnna put this out there. I worked my backside off when I was 15/16 in my GCSE’s to get the best marks and apply for the prestigious exclusive public boarding school in my town to do my a levels at so I could eventually go down the oxbridge path. I passed the entrance exam but didn’t actually get in because I had a serious health condition that meant I couldn’t do sport and participate fully in school life. I was a risk they weren’t prepared to take and I was heartbroken, especially since I was in hospital just woken up from brain surgery when my denial letter arrived and my dad came into the ward and told me 😂 it was crap day and I was absolutely heartbroken. I thought I wasn’t good enough. I went to college instead, and actually ended up having to drop out because I got so poorly. The lesson being, everything happens for a reason. I’m now 21, doing a fine art bachelors degree from home with the open college of the arts. Once I’m graduated I’m then going to apply to oxford to do my masters in literature and arts. Or maybe I’ll go to a local uni if it doesn’t happen. Maybe I’ll actually be happier there than in a more stressful academic environment where you constantly compare yourself to others. Wherever you go for uni, your degree will still be valid and you will work hard for it. Be proud of yourself. Sometimes your biggest dreams are the things that never actually end up happening and that’s ok. But still have hope. Still believe in yourself. I’m sending you huge hugs. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are amazing. Love. X

[@lurobledo174]

[@india6834]

I went to LMH and work at Oriel now I've graduated (if you've seen any of Molly at Oxford's videos I pop up in a couple of them!). It's so difficult to tell how an interview actually went (no matter how good you think you are at assessing your own performance), and even so, it's not a yes/no thing: the university will still look very carefully at all of the other parts of your application. And yes - it is an amazing achievement no matter what the outcome, so give yourself some credit :-)

[@sarahl1800]

I’m so proud of you for even getting interviews at Oxford!!💗 I’m sorry you were upset with how they went, but you are very clever and I know you’ll be successful at languages, regardless of the Uni you are at xx

[@MagdaWeronika]

eve omg I felt the exact same after my Cambridge interview I've been so sad all week I made so many silly mistakes I wouldn't normally make and came out of the interview feeling so stupid like the guy looked like he could have laughed at me tbh but it'll all work out in the end don't worry xxx

Evan John what did it entail roughly? I'm aiming to apply for law

[@AmySarahx]

Thank you for being so honest and open in this!!! Seriously keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

[@bethancrawley]

I had the exact same experience applying for an Arts University. Even though it's not Oxford, the interview was horrible and they didn't refer to my personal statement or what I've done, only questions that they have to ask everyone which are stupid and did not let me get in what I wanted to! There was no discussion and I couldn't get anywhere with the conversation and I felt like they didn't consider me as an individual but only cared if I knew the answers to the questions. It was my top university too, but I realised after the interview that I just really didn't like the place anywhere because it didn't seem like they cared for each student. But best of luck and everything works out well in the end :) xoxo

[@unkownloser9406]

Thats what i think as well but we have to persevere with our dreams. Eve ended up getting in because this is her passion and if you have a passion for it you will get in. If you set your mind on it you can do it

[@saro374]

Don't worry Eve, I had my interview at Cambridge this week for Spanish and Portuguese, and the Portuguese one was actually a shambles because they asked me so much about Mozambique and I knew nothing on Mozambique! But try not to think about it too much, I'll be very upset if it doesn't work out too but be proud of how far you've come :) xx

[@oliviamoore9924]

This was so nice to watch! I was in Oxford last week for law interviews and don't worry they went absolutely horrifically (including me going to the wrong interview first and not realising until I was in there, being asked about someone else's personal statement (twice!), flung my pen at the tutors and above all, was flustering and had no idea what I or the tutors were talking about!!) However I had a lovely experience and the people were amazinggg, I have literally no chance of getting in after that train wreck but I'm becoming okay with that😊 so try not to worry at all, even the description of your german interview seemed actually okay! And don't worry, everyone else's interview went just as badly but they don't want to tell you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you ❤️ xxx

Hey you must have been there around the same time I was!!. I was at Exeter for Chem. I know you said your first interview sucked, but literally it was so nice to hear that you enjoyed your second one. The fact that you felt so happy and enjoyed the whole thing totally means that they’ll be able to make a great decision about whether you’ll be happy there. All the best luck!!!

Good luck gorgeous girl! You've got us all behind you❤️

[@elleking9244]

I know it may not be reassuring but I go to Durham currently and I absolutely love it and I’m sure you will love wherever you end up. What I’ve found from talking to my friends at Oxbridge compared to my experience is that Durham has all of the collegiate university feel with formals and matriculation and everything but without much of the stress. Don’t stress about it, whatever is meant to happen will happen! I’m sure you did a lot better than you thought you did anyway 💕 xxx

[@SofiaH]

hey eve i also went to oxford for interviews (history) and i really appreciate your honesty in this video! all the interview videos i watched seemed to be overly positive and i don't think got across the level of anxiety i went through lmao but good luck! you've done all you can so all you can do is try and forget about it and wait xx

[@magicaramel6492]

ugh i feel ya. I literally came out of my first interview (at worcester too but for classics) and cried for an hour on the phone to my mum. I was literally the same in terms of the fact that I was just really disappointed because I felt that I'd let myself down because I knew that I could have done so much better... I didn't get pooled either which was another disappointment because I REALLY wanted a second chance somewhere else but oh well it's in the past now.

[@charchaz00]

i think prestigious unis are far too forceful, your knowledge and passion for the subject should be enough, the guy shouldn't have grilled you. Best of luck Eve, don't think about it, you'll be fine x

Please don’t worry Eve, your amazing and no matter what happens you did your best at the time so that’s all that matters ☺️ Oxford would be lucky to have you but if not it’s they’re loss!! But I’m sure you’ll be fine no matter what 💖💖Also this video kind of made me wonder if I should have stayed in uni halls, I’ve just started a biology degree and have stayed at home but don’t know if I’m missing out on ‘uni life’ 🤔😂😂

[@ellisha9034]

Eve, I don't know if this makes you feel any better but I had a very similar experience in cambridge in the past few days. One of the interviews went well but the other one was one of the most horrible experiences of my life - the interviewers were SO aggressive and hostile and somehow managed to make me doubt my whole value as a human being. As soon as I walked out I burst into tears - all of that preparation and passion completely down the drain :( needless to say my hopes of getting in are near nill now. I just think it helps when you know there are people who feel similarly! Only can wait now :( when do you find out? Xxx

[@eviehallitt8122]

I had an interview at Oriel College last week for History and I had the exact same thing where one interview went fairly well and the other I felt I'd let myself down in. Its so hard to tell how well you've done, I had both my interviews in the same day like you so I just let it go and spent the rest of my time enjoying the (beautiful) city. I'm sure you'll have done fantastically and reading into it isn't going to get you anywhere! Amazing achievement to even be interviewed. Best of luck to Eve and everyone who suffered Oxbridge interviews this last fortnight! Xx

[@julimoussarie]

Hey Eve, I had a German interview at Cambridge...literally spoke about the text I was given during the WHOLE interview! I felt comfortable with its meaning to an extent but it was not at all an area I felt knowledgeable about!! Don't feel bad about your interview!!

[@amybrook5300]

I know exactly how you feel - I was interviewed by the same people for German last year, and I promise you, your interview can't have gone worse than mine! I had to analyse a poem about Charles I facing up to his inevitable death and all I could say was that it was grim, and then I started bawling for the rest of the interview. Unfortunately I didn't get into Oxford and, all I want you to know, is that you can't let this experience destroy you. I know exactly how it feels to have years of aspiration flushed down the pan in minutes, but know that regardless of the outcome, this DOES NOT mean you are not clever or unworthy or whatever. I know I'm rambling here, but take it from me, I took my experience really badly at the time and it near destroyed my life. Whether you get in or not, you are still so so intelligent and inspiring to so many people. (Though I know you'll probably disregard all this, as I did a year ago haha)

[@char5486]

I'm a first year studying French at Catz and thought both my interviews were terrible, but I still got in! I'm sure you did much better than you think, have everything crossed for you gal xxxxx

[@char5486]

also nothing in my ps was mentioned in my interview and I had no clue what the poem was going on about, it was just like your German one aha x

[@tamarachioma]

Oh Eve, I think there’s no one who deserves to go to Oxford more than you do!!❤️📚

[@evascott7848]

I know she works so hard

[@Rebecca-ck7eg]

I interviewed English at Cambridge last week and didn't understand a word of my poem either -it was honestly brutal! Don't lose heart I had a big cry after mine too! Good luck x

[@IzzieBarton]

I interviewed for French and Spanish at Worcester and feel exactly the same as you about your German about my French !! Went horribly and I came out crying, I felt so stupid 🙄 it’s done now though and I’m sure you’ll still get an offer because you’re brill! Also spoke to a German and History undergrad at Worcester and she said she thought her German interview was the worst thing ever, the interviewer rolled his eyes and sighed at everything she said but still got in!! Good luck xxxxxxx

[@RevisionWithEve]

My German interviewer was at Worcester too!! And ahh I’m so sorry - we are both in the same boat x

[@IzzieBarton]

millie clemson yeah I’m fine my second interview went a lot better luckily so felt way better after that!! X

[@IzzieBarton]

Revision With Eve yeah!! Such a relief that it’s all over x

[@bethany1900]

i hope it all goes well! just remember everything happens for a reason, i'm sure you'll end up in an amazing place after all your hard work! xxx

[@chloereynolds2922]

I love you so much eve, I’m doing my gcse mocks at the moment and my anxiety is through the roof and so this is giving me a much needed distraction. Someone from my school leaked our maths paper 2 and so we may all be getting 0’s which makes those of us applying for external 6th forms quite anxious about our math papers so that’s kinda stressful so this is giving me a much needed break so thanks xx love you eve xx

[@allis4626]

Chloe Reynolds honestly with the external sixth form thing I failed ALL of my mocks, and still applied to an external sixth form to do 4 alevels. Just explain your situation and they should give you the opportunity to better yourself in your exams :). After failing everyone one of my mock, I came out with 2 8’s, a 6, an A*, 3 A’s, 3 B’s and a C and I’m doing 4 a levels now! Please don’t let your anxiety control your success Xxxx

[@IzzieBarton]

Also how funny I forced myself to go to the JCR after my atrocious French and felt so much better after 😂😂😂

[@angelinaugustine1658]

I hope everything works out for you Eve. You deserve it the most! The only thing I could relate with was your yawning, you made me yawn too!

[@abbiecripwell621]

I had interviews for my course and after my first interview I was told that I didn't understand the true role of a social worker (my course was social work) and I literally cried the whole way home but I somehow still managed to get an offer. I'm sure you did better than you thought and don't rule out getting an offer!

[@chloeadkins1269]

Stay positive💞 you should be so proud of everything you achieved, you're amazing and you're such an inspiration to all your subscribers ❤

[@megcripps1280]

It’s so weird seeing you vlog in my town/be excited about the place you live. It’s always so different when you live in a place

[@katearmstrong8941]

Hey, i'm in my 3rd year at cambridge and am still yet to meet a student who didnt think their interview had gone terribly! Really wouldnt worry too much - best of luck x

[@lajohnla]

Nah when she said Felicia I’m goneee

[@amylauren248]

I had an interview for Sheffield Hallam about a month ago now for primary education. For part of the interview we had to prepare s teaching task and the other people in my groups had lesson plans and resources and I did a 5 min lesson about Spanish verbs. Honestly was so disappointed in myself and thought I had completely fucked it. Lucky they got back to me a week later saying I had got a place! I know it's nothing like oxford or Cambridge but from interview experiences I've had it's shown me that if they see potential in you they're more likely to give you a place :)

[@hopearmstrong3942]

I love how she says Durham as if it’s a bad thing Durham is the prettiest place ever and I live close to it ahahah

[@chloemackinnon2096]

Please don’t worry Eve💗 We LOVE you SO much💗

[@Missstarirl20]

Eve don't you worry about your interview! Often people can't tell how it went and you may not have known a lot but the interviewers know when they see enthusiasm and passion for the subject! I had my interviews for e&m at the same time as you and they were rubbish!! But I'm so glad I got an interview because it so bloody difficult. So well done! You got further than most :)💗

[@theagegeshidze9276]

Yeah I had an e and m interview too and I lowkey hated it! Good luck though, what college did you apply to?

[@Missstarirl20]

Thea Gegeshidze I did an open application but got allocated to st Edmund hall

[@Missstarirl20]

Thea Gegeshidze wbu?

[@maahirbharadia7487]

😢😢yup, me in my Cambridge Maths interview. Completely mind-blanked and doubt I’ll get in ☹️

[@SarahChehade3]

Maahir Bharadia What happened now, did you get in, if you don’t mind me asking?

[@maahirbharadia7487]

haha the worst thing ever! I got pooled but then rejected :/ I guess it wasn't meant to be

[@SarahChehade3]

Maahir Bharadia aw, I’m sorry to hear that but as cliche as it sounds, everything happens for a reason. I wish you the best in your future ☺️☺️

[@maahirbharadia7487]

thank you!

[@zetch972]

Maahir Bharadia where did you end up going? What results did you get? Are you enjoying your course and uni?

[@spencerkm1756]

Awh Eve! Hopefully you're feeling better now :) Even though I go to uni in America and the interview process was a bit different, but I felt so dumb afterward. In my interview they GRILLED me about myself and the subject I wanted to study. They literally asked me what kind of bird I would be (I know, stupid question), but I literally said bat and bat isn't even a bird. I totally feel sounding unintelligent in interviews! Everything will pan out in the end just the way it's supposed to! :) Good luck girlie!

[@nicolamartin674]

I feel so sorry for you! Revising hard, spending so much time on preparation and the not getting the chance to prove you are the right one to get in must be so disappointing. Especially, because everyone can see Oxford is your dream. And even worse must be the disappointment in yourself reflecting on the things you said in the interview that you now know better. Believe me, I would be gutted as well and I wish you luck that (despite your feeling) it went better than expected. In your videos you always seem so determined when it comed to revision and therefore you absolutely deserve to sudy at your dream uni! But don‘t be too sad by the way: No matter where you end up university life will be amazing studying what you love. I can assure you that by 100%. I am currently at university as well (in Germany) and also a German native speaker. So, just in case you need help with anything, please just let me know! ☘️

[@lizziejayne6965]

My brother tried for Cambridge but didn’t get in after his interview but he’s now at Durham and loves it - I really hope you do get in Oxford as it would be an amazing achievement but equally if you end up going to Durham just know it’s a brilliant university that’s still one of the top ones Also you should just be proud that you even got an interview - that’s brilliant in its self

[@emilyweatherill8845]

Good luck for everything in the future you super girl! Everyone will be proud of you no matter what path you take! Loads of love❤️💜

[@nataliem2020]

Not exactly oxford but I fucked up my edge hill interview so bad and I was heartbroken because it was were I wanted to go and I got an unconditional offer after it, don’t stress too much over it they understand nerves and you’re work will speak for you! Chin up beaut xxx
