HOW I GOT INTO OXFORD UNIVERSITY | My Experience and Top Tips! 

Ik I’ve got many years left but I’m planning my life at13

"Try not to cry in the interview" ~ Me Being 15 already seeing myself cry in the interview 😂😭

Ibz in Cambridge, Eve in Oxford... Oxbridge has officially been taken over by studytube

I don't usually comment but I want to thank you for all the motivation and advice you have given me as I managed to achieve 5 9s, 4 8s and 2 7s in my GCSEs !! Thankyou so much! Xx

I’ve never been happier for anyone than when Eve got into Oxford. I love her so much.

Honestly,​ if anyone deserved to get into Oxford it's you! You and Unjaded Jade got me through my GCSE's and I'm so happy you got into your top choice uni 💜

Please could you do a video on how to get an A* in A Level languages? :)

When I went to my open day at Oxford I watched a current student go through the interview stage as part of their “open day talk”. They gave plenty of tips; the biggest one being that if you feel you have failed miserably in the interview that is probably because you were progressing well and they wanted to push you a bit (I think Eve can vouch for this after watching her cry over her interview!!)

You’re actually so inspiring Eve!! Keep being you / amazing...

Isn't it incredible looking back at your videos how far you've gotten?! Honestly so inspiring. x

Well done on getting into Oxford and your results - you did amazing! Can't wait for a uni haul!!! xx

Congratulations Eve! I'm about to start my Masters and I love your channel. Since watching your videos I'm so motivated to apply for my PhD at Oxford (after not applying for undergrad due to unsupportive teachers). Wishing you the very best of luck with everything xx

so happy for you that you got into your dream uni! You’re so inspiring 💛

Congratulations Eve you truly deserve this opportunity! I have been following you since before you got your GCSE results and I always knew you had it in you x

So happy for you!!! Hope you're enjoying your holiday! xx

Watching this video to motivate me whilst doing work for my final year of school. Watching u get amazing grades and seeing how hard you work has really inspired and motivated me for this next year!!! so thank u for making videos and never stop please xxxxxxxx

Omg Eve! I am SO SO SO happy and proud of you!!! You work SO hard and you deserved EVERYTHING!! I am REALLY VERY INSPIRED by you. Lots of love and congratulations!! All the best sweetie! ❤️❤️

I’m so proud and happy for you eve, you’ve worked so hard and it’s all payed off xxx

Just got a languages interview for Cambridge... so excited but also vaguely terrified! Thank you for doing your applying to uni vids - they've helped me so much so far.

I’m so excited to see more uni videos from you eve!

so proud of you! i'm going into year 12 and my aim is to try for oxford so this is so helpful!! thank you 💓

Well done!! Thank you for motivating me throughout both 2 years of my A Levels!!!

You deserve this so much xx I love you so much ❤️ and thanks for sharing your journey with us 💕✨

Honestly so happy for you hun, I’m going into my 2nd year of Uni in September and was absolutely rooting for you to get in 😂 good luck with it all! X

So excited for all the Uni related content starting from here! Congrats once again ♡

Thanks Eve I remember asking for this a few weeks ago. I shared this with my sister and she’s now going to apply to Oxford. I am going to Cambridge this year. One extra thing I would also say, is watch lecture/tutorial films, so you know what it may be like for you there, and if you feel like it fits for you. (I know the interviews simulate this whole process, but this is also a good tip.)

I haven’t heard ANYONE mention the reference thing, that’s such an amazing idea! DANKESCHUN/GRACIAS EVE!

you came across so well in this eve!! genuinely wish you so much luck for the future xxx

I seriously NEEDED this, absolutely bricking applying to Oxford this year!

Thanks so much for sharing - I hope Uni brings you everything you desire and more! 💗✨

Thanks for this video, it explains so much about my entry interview to my foundation degree course. It was so intense and the interviewer did push me to almost tears and yes I got in.

Ur journey is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing it honestly :)

Massive love for being so focused and humble💟

And then there's me getting into uni and being too scared to apply to Oxbridge! You smashed it Eve! I knew it x

Idk why I am from Asia and I am 13 but I am so excited entering Oxford so I am saving up and researching how to enter lol I am already planning my life

When you start at Oxford please do a video on your experience on studying languages there?? It would help me so much❤️

Firstly, congrats once again on getting into Oxford - if anyone deserves it it's you! Secondly, I wish I could go to more open days, but they're during the school year, and I live abroad. 😩 I went to one and fell in love with the city. I would like either Trinity or Balliol because they're both old colleges, and they're both near the Bodlean and the English faculty. I finally settled more or less on English Lang/Lit as my course, though it was a long debate, and I'm sad to be giving up History and French. Fingers crossed! I feel you on the not - understanding thing. It can feel really embarrassing. I remember when I had my interview for my current school, I forgot to turn my phone on silent since I normally leave it on silent. Guess what? It went off in the middle of the interview. 😂

Congrats Eve! I hope you have a good time!

Congratulations Eve!! So amazing!

love ya eve, no one deserves this more than you xxx

i'm starting year 12 this september and i've been wanting to get to Oxford since i was in year 8! so if i work hard enough to get into Oxford like you then i might be able to see you on campus! thank you so much for this video and just your in general. you are so inspirational and give so much of useful tips and advice. once again, congratulations and well done for getting into Oxford, and i hope you enjoy your time in university!

Good choice with lmh! It's so beautiful, and well done on getting in!❤

CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO BE HERE IN OCTOBER!!!! I'm taking you to Bridge! ❤️❤️❤️

I haven't even watched the video and I already hit the like button haha CONGRATULATIONS GIIIRL! when I saw the results video I was really happy which is crazy because I only know you through videos but you deserve it!!! 💕💕💕💕

Oxford has always been my number one choice so I really hope I get in when I am older

congrats on getting in, I'm so happy for you and can't wait for another Oxford vlogger! :D I was rejected after interviews but will be reapplying since I wanted to take a gap year anyway. Maybe we will see each other in a year haha I have a comment on the getting pooled/having interviews at differen't colleges thing - it's different for every subject! (and every year possibly) I was applying for Biochemistry and was told at the start that apart from my "original" college I'd have an interview at a second one, same with every other person applying for Biochem. And then on top of that some of us might get invited to even more interviews. So really, don't get attached to anything anyone says about the amount of interviews/colleges because it's different for everyone! :)

"what is going on please" a constant mood

Omg I’ve been looking forward to this since results day😍😍😍

I don't think i could have answered those questions in English 😂

This actually made me excited to apply! Any other Oxford English applicants here? x

So excited for your uni vids❤️

Your so great Eve love all your videos so much!! Keep up inspiring the internet! 😉😊

Still sooo proud of you!!❤️❤️

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The doubt this has lifted off my heart, whew. You're a star Eve. :)

I got in too! Hope to see you there x

Love you so much xx really looking forward to seeing more uni videos xxxx

Congrats beautiful 😍 we're so proud of you 😙

I’m staying at an Oxford college at the minute for a school trip and I’m in love So motivated to work even harder to get in

Can't wait for you to start studying there. Oxford University is amazing! It's gorgeous too.

Hey Eve, Could you please make a video on how to revise languages? Specifically Speaking? As I'm going into year 13 this september doing french AQA .. and wanted to know if you have any tips on languages, or a revision rouine before exams? It would be helpful, and again, congratulations on getting in Oxford ; You really deserve it xx !

congratulations again for getting into oxford! :)

THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS!!!

Loved this video eve 💞

my favourite inspirational youtube

I live in the US but this was actually very useful as I am most likely going to major in German, but hopefully,​ it will be a bit less. I like hearing how things work in the UK as opposed to the US, so this was interesting.

Eve, how did you get to do your work experience in Geneva? Did you go through a website and if so how long was it for? Only asking as I want do the same thing! Thanks

“dont have a fixed mindset” that is sooooo crucial!! In my interview at Cambridge, the only question they asked about my personal statement was a stereotypic statement on architecture (the subject I was applying to) ...and it was really hard to change mindset and switch to an objective view under interview condition. I literally got too nervous that I couldn't say grammatically correct sentences😂 (English is my second language).

I'm only in year 7 so I didn't fully understand the essay submission bits but I've wanted to go to Oxford since I was 8, but I really enjoyed the video. :) It was super engaging

This is so helpful!!! Thank you!!

Best experience and tips video for getting into a uni I've watched 😂🎉

Eve! THANK YOU for this video, I've been looking forward to it so much!! Out of interest, do you know how your teachers integrated your "extra personal statement stuff" into the reference? As in, did they sort of say "her particularly original interpretation of X" or more like "Eve did X and X"? I'm asking because I'm having to guide my teacher as German schools have zero Oxbridge experience... I'm kind of concerned about not having enough super-curricular diversity in my personal statement, as I've really only read a lot around my subject and haven't had the opportunity to go to any events or summer schools (because I didn't know I'd be applying to England and therefore didn't know I'd be needing a personal statement at all, and my life's just been piano competitions for years). Do you think I should make an effort to change that in the next two months even though I have way too much to say about all the books anyway? Also, what did you read by Kafka? "Die Verwandlung" literally made me realise that I had to study literature in some form. Your German interview sounds incredible (though very traumatic to have actually gone through!!) - I love your succint answer to the "is poetry death" question, I would have taken it way too metaphorically and gone off on some tangent about the death of the soul or human nature or hope or some shit :D Though I would have been so excited for the "why do we read literature", that's literally what some of my PS is about. Wow, mammoth comment, thanks for reading!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOUR UNI VIDEOS I CAN'T EVEN P.S.I'm intrigued that you had to chose between English and German, not English and Spanish, as you've always seemed particularly enthusiastic about German! (Though maybe that's my bias as it's my subject;) Did you think Spanish was your stronger language, or were you unsure about a certain aspect of German?

"Is poetry death?" NANI?!!

I'm also a languages student and I went for an interview (not at oxbridge.) It was for the uni I'm actually headed to in October. But I thought it was going great as I was talking about how I was interested in their translation, interpreting and subtitling module they offered but then the interviewer asked if I had any experience in those things and in my mind I was panicking like I wasn't prepared for that and where am I meant to get that experience luckily I brushed it off by saying I didn't have any but managed to weave in my made up love for trying new things. Luckily she was really nice and we got talking about south america afterwards and it turned out she was from Cuba. I got my offer two days later but that question definitely caught me off guard.

Loved the video! I'm wanting to study Spanish and Russian at uni (Edinburgh hopefully). What Spanish books and films do you recommend? It would be really helpful xx

I'm doing UNIQ this year for Law, but they have changed it from 6 to 4 days at Oxford. Also the application process has changed, you don't have to write a personal statement, you just send in your GCSE grades and that's it, they choose by looking at postcode and free school meals.

I’m applying to Oxford this year (from Northern Ireland) and attended the Northern Ireland summer school in June. I’m really nervous as I really don’t know if I have what it takes but loved the summer school and the atmosphere of the city.

Excellent advice. I applied to Oxford for a place in Law and didn’t get in, because I clammed up in my Law interview. I also had French and Spanish interviews, which went very well. I should have accepted a place in those subjects, but had a place in Law lined up at Leeds

Yes girl !! Well done for your place ! Xx

It's one of the best videos of yours.

Im just already nervous about uni and a level and gcse i think....congrats eve i've been watching u for ages!

So happy for you!! X

Can you do a video on dealing with Shakespeare (Or any old text) , I find it really difficult to translate and understand it all :/

when she said 1 and a half hours i whisper shouted BIRMINGAM cuz i live there and that was my logic for choosing oxford over cambridge (im only 13 but its never too early lol)

Don’t know if you’ll ever see this but the applications for UNIQ 2019 have started today. I’ve read somewhere that appli can needs to write a short essay explaining why they should be accepted for the course, but ai haven’t seen this in the application. There’s a section for special consideration (illness/ death of relative close to exam dates). Is this where I need to write this ‘essay’? Or is there no such thing

I have been a mess in year 7 and 8, I’m going into year 9 and it’s time to work really hard because I’m getting into oxford no matter what

do oxford look at your GCSE’s and how many A’s do you need in A level to get in?
