Hi my DS will apply next academic year with his exam result, his predicted grades are AAA*. Due to a very significant and sudden bereavement he's had a rough time and for a while lost some interest in university and despite encouragement from the school Oxbridge was never on his radar. But now he's better and thinking about applying to Cambridge (the top ranked university for his subject) if he gets the grades. I believe they interview in the autumn term but he is very lucky and has successfully applied for a job in the USA for 4 months, he will be back the week before Xmas. If he was offered an interview I guess we could pay for him to fly back for a few days if necessary but that seems a bit if a bore and also letting down his employer. I'm assuming overseas pupils don't come to the UK for an their Oxbridge interview so do they do an interview by Skype or something similar?
