Of Top Calibre.

Admission interview questions to the top-notch colleges:

• Would you rather be a novel or a poem? (English, Oxford)

• How many monkeys would you use in an experiment? (Experimental Psychology, Oxford)

• How does Geography relate to A Midsummer Night’s Dream? (Geography, Oxford)

• How do you organise a successful revolution? (History, Oxford)

• Talk about a light bulb. (Engineering, Oxford)

• What would you do if you were a magpie? (Natural Sciences, Cambridge)

• Should we have laws for the use of lightbulbs? (Law, Cambridge)

• Instead of politicians, why don’t we let the managers of Ikea run the country? (Social Political Science, Cambridge)

• If I were a grapefruit would I rather be seedless or non-seedless? (Medicine, Cambridge)

Is it kind of worrying that I can formulate better answers in my head to the questions from English and Medicine, rather than from the one from Law? Love the questions from Geography and Political Science by the way
