So I was very surprised by that because I thought it would be hardcore, it would be focused on the issue at hand and that they would be very structured in the way they asked you questions. But my interview I was surprised, it was relaxed and very friendly. I got it except from the torture convention and we asked the scenarios. So I think one of the last questions was really, really complex and I didn't even know where to start thinking about it. I didn't know what step one was, let alone the conclusion and I just sat there for a bit just trying to sort it out in my head and I was talking a lot about what was confusing me and I didn't understand and finally I just said I have no idea how to progress with this and she just kind of laughed and I asked, so just out of curiosity what is the answer because I don't know how to even start reaching it and she said, oh this doesn't have an answer and I don't know what it should be either so let's just move on. Kind of things so I was like okay probably not the best thing to say I give up but you know maybe not so bad. Not really I mean because I had kind of been preparing myself to eventually break down at some point because you know the questions do get increasingly harder and I was kind of prepared for the other aspects I think it's just the general style in which we approached it at the beginning that threw me off a little. I remember being surprised when I first walked in and it was sofas and armchairs everywhere I was expecting a kind of really formal across a table setting or something like that but it was like you could have been in someone's living room so I remember that was surprising and also put me at ease quite a bit because yeah I was just sat in a big comfy armchair again didn't really feel like I was being interviewed so that was nice. So definitely as what before the interview I was very very worried and stressed especially after having done the test in the morning I felt unprepared because I didn't do a law at my A levels so I was very worried about the type of questions that they could ask but I remember I took a time off like an hour before my interview I went to McDonald's just to take a breather and relax and just get away from college life because your interview will take place in college and it's just nice to step out of it get yourself reorganised before you go back into the interview so that was my method of approaching the stress and the worry of the interview. Yes so I was kind of worried that I would say something very stupid I was worried because I was speaking to like someone from Cambridge University and just dreaded a bag of nerves about the interview. I think as with any interview just worried that I was going to get asked something and have no idea how to answer but that wasn't really a problem on the day because obviously you prepare for it so there's the obvious questions like why law you expect that that's going to come so you have an answer to it and then the more on the spot questions it wasn't a problem if I didn't know the answer because they can guide you to an answer and often I've been told after that they want to get you to a place where you don't know the answer so it is actually a good thing if you find that you're struggling to think of something and yeah they guided me through it when I wasn't quite sure. So first of all just made sure I knew the obvious thing that everything you've written on your personal statement just have an opinion on it as well not just so that you haven't just named dropped a book or an author or anything reflect on I reflected on what I'd written about and what I thought about it and another thing I did which was seems sounds a bit silly but I always tell everyone who's asked me for advice by the Cambridge interview to do this they give you the name of your interviewers so I just looked on YouTube at some videos of them talking and it's just one lesson known on the day you go in the room you've heard how they're going to sound so you just feel like you already know them and yeah that put me at ease a lot and yeah preparing question answers to the obvious questions and things like why law why Cambridge why this course those kind of things if you go in knowing that you've got some kind of stock answers prepared again you put quite a bit more ease so being an international student I I try to catch up with English news so I remember a day before the interview I went to the stores and just bought a few newspapers so the night before I just read up on different areas of the UK so any pertinent issues and just think about the news articles and how they might relate to the law I think it would be quite useful I found I think there was some sample case studies I found online of what you could put the kind of questions they could ask you at an interview or like the kind of accepts that they would give so I just kind of practice that with my parents with my friend so they asked me and they'd look at me with blank expressions and I'd have to stumble my way through I did that a few times don't feel the need to answer as soon as interviewers finished the question it's perfectly all right and probably even expected that you take a second or two to kind of just think through the question think about what you want to say and then walk through your answer in a reasonable in a rational manner so don't just jump to your conclusion and then backtrack and explain why you reached that conclusion just kind of say okay yeah so this is step one and this is followed by step two and therefore this is the logical answer for this scenario that really helps you calm down as well because you're kind of going in a logical progression so you don't need to start freaking out about oh my god what am I saying because you kind of have an idea of where you're going with this and secondly and most importantly I think is be true to yourself don't try to project an image of someone you're not I would say I know you probably have been told it so many times but really tried to enjoy it because that is how supervision's work here so if you find that you've come out and you've absolutely hated it if I don't know you let nerves get the better of you or anything yeah you've really got to try and see if you could see yourself in that learning environment and if you can do that you'll feel a lot better about it whatever the outcome is also another thing I remember don't be unnerved if one of your interviewers is a bit more quiet or kind of good cop bad cop or anything like that I remember one of mine hardly said anything and now I know her quite well and she's absolutely lovely but at the time I was quite scared but don't be worried about that at all just yeah do your best and really um think out loud so um if there's a question that you're not sure of the answer to you can say um just thinking aloud here or um just walk them through your thinking process and then it really doesn't matter if you don't get the right answer and there might not even be a right answer they just want to see your thought process so yeah relax enjoy it and think aloud would be I think my three main things so I think one of the biggest tips that I have for you during the interview itself is to always think before you speak so I was asked a very difficult question which I at that moment I really didn't know how to approach it so I told my interviewers that I needed some time to think and I took about half a minute it was a bit awkward during the interview itself I must admit uh the pause and they were just looking at me unexpectedly but after 30 seconds when I had gathered my thoughts and came out with a structured way to answer the question I I just gave the answer to them so I think one of the biggest advice is to always think before you speak do not just go on and ramble about something without structure as a good lawyer or good law student you will need to have structure in everything you do and another good advice I can give you is to always voice out your thoughts so every time you make an argument you have to go through every step of it even something that you think is obvious you should really let your interviewer know how you arrived at that conclusion and the steps needed before you arrive at that conclusion it really shows clarity in your thoughts and I think the interviewers look out for the way you approach a question and the logic that you use to answer such questions but in general just try not to freak out so much about it I mean obviously you're going to be nervous before an interview and I'm not saying don't pay there's nowhere you can stop but when you're in the interview try not to fixate on your errors or the things which you think you could have said better but you realize five seconds too late just kind of go on with it and try try to think of it as a conversation with someone you've never had the chance to meet before you're meeting an eminent academic and you're getting to kind of just sit and have a casual discussion for half an hour that's an amazing opportunity independent of whether you get in or not and just try to treat it as such and have fun I think I was also struck by the fact that they didn't really ask me why I wanted to to study law they were more focused on like the academic interests that I had in law which I was happy to discuss so I think students who might be preparing for the interview could focus more on the real reason they want to study law as in the academic reasons behind it not like to do with career for example I mean of course career is important but I think that the the fellows or the supervisors here would be more interested in knowing why you would you really are interested in the subject itself I think it's important to also have a passion for the subject itself because when you study here in Cambridge you'll be given a lot of readings and a lot of work to do over the term and even during the holidays so having a passion for the subject itself even the what people would call the drier parts of the subject would be very very useful and I do think fellows and supervisors look out for that trait in the people that they interview I thought it would be something very scary and I just come out and burst into tears but I really genuinely enjoyed my interview
