Oxbridge, Medicine, and Dental Interviewers
We have over 30 students who have applied for a place at Oxbridge or Medicine/Dentistry this year. If you might be able to help with Oxbridge preparation interviews or would be interested in being part of a panel interview for Medicine, please could you be in touch with Dr Hannan (Director of Sixth Form, gh@roedean.co.uk) specifying the subject/s you would be happy to hold an interview on.
Practice interviews would be held once the students have a confirmed interview at their university, so these are likely to take place in late November or early December on Teams.
