How can one prepare for the interview(s)? What does the committee look for in an application for the award of a Rhodes scholarship?
The first round of interviews are meant to asses academic excellence and are therefore more related to what studies you have done and what course of study you would like to take up at Oxford. The final interviews tend to be more general in nature. There is no advice really how to “prepare” for the interview. Make sure that your essay receives full attention from you; overstating or exaggerating does not usually help.
