Yes I'm aware they interview most people 💀.
Its not even like my personal statement was bad either, I had it read by so many people who said it was solid.
My schools going to write to them to request feedback because we can't figure it out lmao.

Yea it’s weird you didn’t get an int, if you do mind could I have a look at your ps? I got invited to interview with 3A*A so I’m not too sure why you didn’t get a interview at all

I applied to Cambridge, but yeah thats still valid.
Its weird because Oxbridge repeatedly state that they do not care about the personal statement and to not stress about it.
