Getting into Oxford & Cambridge - Sarah Alakija

This is a practical and informative guide that leads the potential candidate through the long and sometimes stressful application to Oxford and Cambridge. Starting with advice on early preparation (before GCSE level) it gives the reader the opportunity to assess whether they are completely committed to the application. Then the book fully prepares the reader for the process ahead offering detailed advice on preparing a strong UCAS application with a shining personal statement as well as how to prepare for the college admissions tests. The interview process is then extensively covered; discussing good techniques and possible questions, what to wear and maps showing how to get to the colleges. The MPW Guides explain the complex procedures for getting into higher education, going beyond the official publications to give would-be students straightforward practical advice on how to secure a place on the course of their choice.
