Otherwise, the candidate must submit score reports from either the TOEFL, IELTS, or the Cambridge Certificate (C1 Advanced).
When does Oxford Saïd Issue Invitations to Interview?
Interviews are by invitation only shortly after review of a completed application. Interviews will be conducted by either a faculty member, senior member of the administrative staff, or an industry adviser. Interviews can take place in Oxford, overseas (subject to availability), or via Zoom.
The Oxford MBA admissions interviews last approximately 30 minutes with questions focusing on candidates’ background, aspirations and how the MBA program is a good fit. The adcom recommends preparing for this interview as one would for a job interview and be ready to provide more information about any aspect of one’s application.

1. I want advise on how to build my profile to make me an ideal candidate for R1 acceptance and $$$
I have worked for over 10 years in sales and business development and I am currently completing a PostGraduate Diploma in Banking and Finance and I need an a good MBA to enable me pivot into financial services.
Currently working in consulting with a major FMCG/alcobev client, mainly across analytics, supply, and business problem-solving work. Over time, I’ve realized I enjoy understanding why problems exist within organizations and how teams, systems, and decisions can work better together, which is what’s pushing me towards strategy consulting and an MBA.
A lot of my interest in business also comes from seeing how everyday products and operations work behind the scenes. Outside work, I co-founded and ran a digital literacy initiative (1yr 2mo) during COVID where we helped elderly individuals and women from underserved communities learn basic digital tools to stay connected and manage daily activities during lockdown.
I’m currently preparing for the GMAT and exploring schools such as LBS, Fuqua, Ross, Tuck, and a few reach schools depending on how the score progresses.
Veteran. Ivy League undergrad. Planning to pivot into consulting or LDP.
