How I Got Into Oxford

Here is my much requested story of how I applied and got into Oxford University from Mauritius xx

🎙 My weekly podcast - 'Dream, Girl'
I host incredible female guest on my weekly podcast where we look beyond the social lens to discuss everything from racism, sexism, representation and mental health. You can find it by searching “Dream, Girl” on any podcast app (eg: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts etc).

Who am I:
I am Dr. Sheen Gurrib and I want to play my part in supporting the next generation of empowered women. I work as a strategy consultant, but also have a podcast, write a blog and make videos about my experience of Oxford and Cambridge, and general 'woke' stuff 🍿

I miss you in your Oxford Era and I was so happy (as all of us were) to see your graduation.

Thank you sheen. This was really motivating.

[jumanaabuhajar-ockm]

This video is amazing thank u so much
I really needed to hear these words about the possibility of being in Oxford as an international student ❤❤

Can't wait for the Cambridge video! :D

[PokhrajRoy.]

South Asian Parents are beaming now that you said that you wanted to be a doctor.

@8:34, From what I understand, Oxford interviews about 80% of applicants, as for Cambridge it’s around 90%. Of course, give and take each year.

Very nice to hear your story. You must be incredibly inteligent and a hard working person. Congratulations Sheen and thanks for sharing this lovely video.

[aditisrivastava]

This was very helpful..could u make more videos like these telling what are the most imp criterias of application, exams etc

[fariharahman]

This video is probably the most wholesome one ever ❤

[startingover]

Congratulations! 🎊 Unfortunately, some of us don't have access to write A-levels. You kind of have to go to expensive private schools for that. 😢

[PokhrajRoy.]

Even though we had career counselling, it was so confusing because children should be taught about higher education in a fuss-free way.

Hey dear sheen.. As below average student i want to study at there. This is my dream since ma childhood. But everyone will tell me that you can't get there with fully funded scholarship. But oxford University is my madness. Could you please tell me how can i reach there for phd

[dalilatiranti]

Than you!! ❤ How did you do with the English idiom? Did you have a certificate or something??

[chukwukaonyenze]

How did you go about your funding to study at Oxford?

[shreyasraghatate]

Hi Sheen,

You applied for an UG or graduate course? If graduate, then what was your UG CGPA?

[MoharDutta-mt]

Did you give ielts or any other English test? Is it compulsory?

[PokhrajRoy.]

Indira Gandhi, Imran Khan and Robert Mugabe are not the best examples of Oxford Alums but ok.
