The selection has been challenging due to the high number of well-written applications. Ultimately, what made the difference was a combination of criteria, including applicants’ limited exposure to opportunities abroad, their academic and extra-curricular activities, sound argumentation, emotional maturity and motivation.
Thanks to all the candidates and volunteers who were involved in this year’s selection. Congratulations to the finalists who will discover the Oxford community this year!
