[Current mood: -]
[Current song: T.M Revolution - Resonance]
So I've found out something amazing about UK universities in The New Paper that day.
Many universities in UK (like Cambridge and Oxford) use bizzare questions in their admission interviews to select the best students in the country.
Some actual questions asked during the interviews:
Would you rather be a novel or a poem? (English, Oxford)
How many monkeys would you use in an experiment? (Experimental psychology, Oxford)
How does geography relate to A Midsummer Night dream? (Geography, Oxford)
How do you organise a successful revolution? (History, Oxford)
Talk about a light bulb. (Engineering, Oxford)
What would you do if you were a magpie? (Natural Sciences, Cambridge)
Instead of politicians, why don't we let the managers of IKEA to run the country? (Social Political Science, Cambridge)
If I were a grapefruit, would I rather be seedless or non seedless? (Medicine, Cambridge)
Cool questions right!
I was astounded when I saw the questions.
I don't think I can even get through the interview part even if I had a chance to enter Cambridge.
LOL.
