How I Got Into Oxford University (Video)

April 19, 2020 By Ben McEvoy

Story time. As part of a filmed Oxford University Q&A I did whilst living in Vienna last year, I answered the question: How did you get into Oxford University?

Perhaps not the answer people want or expect to hear. But I’ll deep dive into the nuance of passing the Oxford interviews, entrance exams, and getting good grades another time.

In fact.. I’ve already spoken on those subjects at length:

  • I’ve got a free 2-hour video course on writing a personal statement for elite universities
  • I’ve written about how to prepare for English Literature Admissions Test (or ELAT)
  • I’ve written about how to stand out in the Oxford interviews
  • I have a free book on effective study techniques
  • And I have a top secret consulting page

Anyways, enjoy the video!

Plenty more of this type of content is coming. And if you have any questions you want to put to me, feel free. I’m in quarantine just like everybody else, I have a decent microphone and camera, and I’m itching to help people.
