Yeah...the only thing I could tell you and the OP is to google it. I'm sure it's out there. Also look into books. When I was in high school and had dreams of going to Harvard, I found a lot of books on the application process, including the interview.

From what I hear the books are normally poor, and provide little more than what the universities already tell you. For me having a specialist interest in the field of your degree would be gold dust. Having read a paper by one of their peers at another good uni is a good idea,but even better is to have read a paper/article from one of the Oxbridge professors. I myself have just read a book by a physician at Cambridge and will mention it at my interview when they ask me about my specialist subject.

Thanks, I will now do that, I really hope to do medicine at Oxford, although I know that only about 10% of people who apply get in, so I'm going to work really hard over the next couple of years
