Preparing for Any University Interview
Chances are, a large number of you are going to have to interview for a university, be that Oxbridge or elsewhere: university interviews are fairly common, and there are several things you can do to make you interview process better:
1) Read lots beforehand
If you’ve been reading a lot for your personal statement, then this should be somewhat easier for you, as you will have a list of books that you have read that you have opinions on that you can talk about, or at least discuss ideas within these books. Keep reading- the more you read, the more you’ll have to talk about, and the less likely you’ll be to run dry during the actual interview, since you can keep drawing on things you know to answer questions about things you don’t (in the form of “I don’t know about [x], but it sounds a bit like [y])
2) Talk to anyone who will listen
Practising is the best thing you can do before an interview: explain concepts to people, get them to ask questions, figure out the clearest way to make a point, ask people who know stuff about your subjects questions. The more you practise, the easier it will get, and although I only spoke to one person who had a background in the subject I chose, there were plenty of contributions that other people had to offer, and influences from their own subjects that I hadn’t though of before. This will help you to come out of your shell and ask questions in the interview, something that people often neglect but is essential in showing your willingness to learn and understand new concepts.
3) Make sure you know the kinds of other things you may be expected to do in the interview
Often, a conversation is not the only thing that you will be expected to do, especially in Oxbridge interviews where you will normally be given something else to do, often analysing something you’ve never seen before, or conducting the interview in another language. The interview is already highly stressful, and you will find yourself surrounded by nervous people, and being caught out by an entire section that they have mentioned somewhere will not put you in the best mindset for the interview. That being said, you can’t expect to be prepared for everything they fire at you in the interview, and the more you accept that you’re going to get curveballs and things you can’t prepare for, the more relaxed overall you’re going to be in the interview.
4) Check out what the interviewer specialises in
Looking at who is interviewing you does not mean researching their work and trying your best to prove yourself to them in their own field: interviewers are not looking for that. It’s useful to know what they specialise in case you have an interest in what they work on, or the areas that they specifically teach, and if you can ask questions and open up a meaningful dialogue in which you can learn new things even in your interview, which further shows the interviewer that you are ready and willing to be taught.
5) Remember that the interview is a conversation
This obviously relates to the ideas of being willing to be taught and willing to learn in the interview, as is mentioned in the other points, but this also refers simply to the fact that you can’t let your nerves get the better of you. You’re not being interrogated, and the interviewers generally do not want to make it difficult and stressful for you. The more relaxed and conversational you are, the more likely you’re going to feel that the interview went well, and the more relaxed you’re going to feel about the application overall.
My ask box is open this week for a Q&A, so ask anonymously or not and I will answer your questions on university applications (Oxbridge in particular but elsewhere as well, as obviously I did not just apply to Cambridge).

What’s Wrong? || どうしたの？
Hey guys, today we’re gonna look into how we can ask our friends “What’s wrong?” in Japanese!
There are a few ways we can ask this in Japanese, as in English:
What’s wrong?・どうしたの。／どうした。・どうしたんですか。
What happened?・何があったか。・何がありましたか。
Is there a problem?・問題があるか。・問題がありますか。
どうしたの：
To ask the question ‘what’s wrong?’ you can simply ask 「どうしたの」or 「どうした」, and if you want to be a bit more formal make sure to use polite です・ます ending by asking 「どうしたんですか」. You can use this question to ask what’s wrong with both animate an inanimate objects. You can also ask “What’s wrong with (someone)?” by using 「(name)はどうしたの」.
Examples・例「れい」：
サラ、どうしたの？・Sarah, what’s wrong?
泣いてるの。どうしたの。・Are you crying? What’s wrong?
どうしたの。ちょっと顔色悪いよ…・What’s wrong? You look a little pale…
昨日学校休んだけど、どうしたんですか。・Yesterday you didn’t come to school, what’s wrong?
サラはどうしたの。なんで叫んでるの。・What’s wrong with Sarah? Why is she shouting?
このテレビどうしたの。・What’s wrong with the TV?
「どうしたの」can also be used to mean something more casual like “What’s up?” / “What’s happening?” depending on the context.
Examples・例「れい」：
どうしたの。なんでみんなここにいるの。・What’s happening? Why is everyone here?
サラ、ちょっとだけ時間ある。・Hey Sarah, do you have a minute?
もちろん。どうしたの。・Sure. What’s up?
Question Markers:
It’s easy to get confused between when to use the different question endings such as か、の、and のか.
「か」is the universal question particle used by everyone. Its function is simply to make questions. While「の」functions similarly to 「か」, it has the ability to soften what you are asking and essentially makes it less demanding. I’ve also heard that it can be used to seek clarification based on knowledge you might already have. On the other hand「のか」is often used in speech when you are requesting a yes or no answer, as well as an explanation afterwards.

studyblr tip
make sure you’re actually getting inspiration or ideas when you reblog or create posts. don’t let studyblr turn into another chore. if you find yourself mindlessly scrolling or forcing yourself to make posts/log on, its defeating its purpose. studyblr is supposed to make you motivated in your studies, so if you find that it’s just becoming another one of ‘those things you have to do’, it’s okay to take a break or leave. never think you owe it to anyone to stay in a community that isn’t helping you.
