Hey there, I am planning on applying for the undergrad computer science course at Oxford starting 2024/2025, and I am from Romania like you (I made an assumption based on name and accent, excuse me if I'm wrong). I was wondering whether you have to pay full tuition and managed to get a scholarship or if you had some sort of pre settlement in the UK so you only have to pay the Home fee. In case you got a scholarship, what kind is it and how difficult would it be to get a course fee scholarship? at a glance on their website, there aren't many options for Romanian students...

I first went through all the contents that MAT will cover so things like calculus, coordinate geometry, and you know all those things. I then saw how many days/weeks/ months I had towards my MAT and I made a timetable for when to do what paper. I spread them out equally so I didn’t rush through all the papers at once then sort of forget it . Start with the older papers and slowly work up to the newer papers as they were a little easier so that’s why. When you do the papers, don’t be anxious for finding them really hard from the start. Whenever you make a mistake, right down and understand thoroughly what the mark scheme wants and how you can approach future questions the same way. Maybe next time if you see a similar question you know exactly how to approach it or you may find a creative way. But never go a bit off tangent even if you get the right answer as they care about working a lot more than the answer itself. For multiple choice, also practice TMUA. You may even sit the TMUA for Warwick or use it for practice for the multiple choice as they give you a lot more practice on those. Do each paper at least twice but give each attempt a huge break so you first don’t remember the answers as much and so you can look back and see how you approached the question now and before. And keep improving your answer to how they want. Hope this is useful. Sorry if you were confused I just realised I used my old account to respond haha

It might take a while to get used to the workload in the beginning, after you’ve got it figured out you’ll have plenty of time for your hobbies or friends and you’ll have a great time at uni! We also get very long vacations, so it’s not all that intense all the time! 😊

I did actually participate in Maths Olympiads every year throughout high school, went to the National Maths Olympiad and got some medals - I've briefly talked about these and how they affected my understanding of Maths in my Personal Statement. I took the Romanian Baccalaureate, it's similar to the A levels, my grades got translated into A*A*A* in the A level format. Hope this helps! :)

@@ioanaroman2947 Thank you for the response, much appreciated. Did you also mention about your Olympiad background in the UCAS application for UK unis? Is there any ‘Extracurriculars’ section for that? I am applying next year for Oxford - Mathematics or Maths + Comp Sci. My predicted A Level grades are straight A* but I also did maths Olympiad for 3 years and got into the follow up rounds for all of them, hence I really wanted to highlight that as a potential advantage!

I only mentioned the Olympiads in my personal statement, I would strongly suggest you do the same, as they really are a factor that can set you apart from the other candidates and you can elaborate a bit in your essay about what you have gained from this experience (e.g. the ability to work independently, studying material outside of the level of the classroom etc.)

Definitely just a myth! 😉 As far as I know, the kids who score best in international maths olympiads opt either for Oxford or for MIT/Harvard, so I would definitely call it just a myth But I guess it’s quite subjective and it just depends on your personal preference, as the courses are a bit different
