1) Do You Have an Oxbridge Mind?

For example, how would you answer the question; would you rather be a seedless or "non-seedless" grapefruit? (Medicine, Cambridge). Other questions and possible answers are discussed here http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/do-you-have-an-oxbridge-mind-962402.html There have been many stories about students from schools with no tradition of sending candidates to Oxbridge who have been totally thrown by such questions. However, I think this is one of the easier things to fix. All students should be forewarned that they will be tested in this way and there should be some opportunity to practice before the interview (maybe a website?). I would see this as part of a standard preparation for an Oxbridge interview where other good tips and advice should be universally available, not just the secret knowledge of elites. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/education/article4925057.ece
