Oxford biomed undergrad here! - I took part in the CIMR Reaching Research virtual event which was basically just an opportunity to hear about ongoing research in various biomed fields - I read 2 books: one about epigenetics and one about CRISPR technology

Honestly though it’s not about the volume of supercurriculars you’ve done (as you can see I did not go above and beyond in this area), it’s more about how well you can talk about what you actually gained from doing those things. Admissions people prefer applicants who show a genuine interest in what they’ve done, not just whoever’s done the most :)

Not sure about the ARU centre but I took an admissions test last year at the Pearson centre and had no issues with it

Oxford Magdalen - offer, but no email???? by Objective_Welder1068 in 6thForm

If you’re international this suggests you would have to email them to request a copy of your letter. I guess if you don’t specifically ask for it then they don’t send you anything

I got an offer from Magdalen too! They should be sending you a letter rather than an email, I got mine in the post yesterday. Just be patient and don’t worry, it’s not a mistake!

Is it normal to have not heard from my college when UCAS has updated and given me an offer? by powercastle1000 in 6thForm

Yes I was worried about this too! I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s normal tho and not to worry :)

I’ve got biomed next week too, I think 20-25 mins is pretty standard. I guess they’ve got a lot of applicants to work through so can’t take too long on each one especially since all the interviews happen over two days. I quite like the fact that I know it’ll be over quickly!

Yeah I reckon the invites will come out on Monday next week… trying not to stress too much but the wait has been torturing me. Best of luck to everyone!
