Hey J, congrats on getting into Oxford MBA ❤ as someone who dreams to get into Oxford, I have few questions. 1) when schools ask extracurricular activities, do they specifically want to see some volunteering done?? I mean, I'm someone who loves art and music but I never went out to participate in any contest or show. I don't have certificates to show that I love doing these activities at home. 2) if selected, how's the scholarship situation over there? Do students actually get a certain percentage off their expenses??

Hi, thank you for posting that video out. I wanted to understand if they had a preference of GMAT over GRE ? Also my GRE score is 330, should I consider going forward with 2 year of work experience?

@sudhanshusharma9910 2 жыл бұрын

Also lastly how many years did you work for before applying to Oxford MBA ?

@jclam 2 жыл бұрын

They will take either one- that is very good GRE score- you can apply with 2 years work experience- I had a few classmates with that amount. I believe you can also consider a Master in Management, geared towards a younger demographic.

Hello Miss JC Lam I sent all the required transcripts to Merton College for a consideration to Merton College or to Balliol College if possible so that if Merton College declines my offer then as such Balliol College could potentially award me a place on the Oxford MBA in 2023 as I submitted my GMAT score, my Essays and Reference to Merton College and my Oxford English Test could be on the Oxford University Press if would be necessary and if my passwod issues could be resolved amicably by the Oxford University Press, as such I would express my gratitude for yours continous assistance, thank you, Mpho ; Kesitwe :Tshoagong

Hey , Does just 3 years of experience come at a disadvantage for selection or i can get through with it. Secondly what will be the Good Gmat score to increase my chances of selection

@jclam 2 жыл бұрын

I would say that is not a disadvantage- I had classmates with 3 years work experience. You just need a good reason to do the MBA at that time in your career. I would advise a score of at least 700 on the GMAT.
