0:00 Intro
1:55 Can you give us an overview of the Oxford Saïd MBA program for those listeners who aren't that familiar with it, focusing on its more distinctive elements?
4:26 One of the concerns with a one-year program is that maybe there won't be an opportunity for an internship. It's harder to make career changes. How would you address that concern?
6:02 At this point, do people have any trouble going back to their home country? You said it's 94% international at Oxford. What about those who want to stay in the UK? Is the UK open to students staying for a couple of years?
7:44 You mentioned the college system at Oxford. That's very different. Can you describe it?
11:15 Are the colleges defined by a specific interest? Are they randomly assigned? Is it an affinity of some kind?
13:32 What is the 1+1 program at Oxford?
16:17 Do you have one or two intakes a year?
16:25 What don't people know about Oxford Saïd that you would like them to know, or what's a common misconception about Oxford Saïd that you'd like to correct?
19:06 Saïd asks for the transcript, test score, a one-page resume, two references, a supporting statement, and then an online assessment before it starts evaluating the application and deciding whom to interview. What happens after the applicant submits and takes the online assessment?
20:54 A lot of applicants think that it's all about the GPA and the test score. What else are you looking for?
23:12 Why do you need both the online assessment and the interview?
25:00 Before COVID, were some interviews virtual and some in person?
26:06 You've obviously reviewed a lot of applications at this point in time. What is the most common mistake that you see applicants making?
30:12 One of the trends in US MBA admissions is test optionality and test waivers. Any plan to go in that direction at Oxford Saïd?
31:55 What would you say to applicants who want to apply this year? They'd love to start with the next cohort, but they're concerned about applying late.
33:45 What advice would you give someone thinking of a fall 2022 or later application?
