It is not so easy to pick any of them. Both Oxford University and MIT are world-class institutions. Almost every student wants to study in any of them, but they excel in different subjects. 

  • The Oxford University in UK, is renowned for humanities, social sciences, and research tradition, offering a broad education.
  • On the other hand, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in USA is globally famous for STEM, engineering, and technology innovation.

In short, the better institute for you totally depends on your interest of study and career goals, rather than overall prestige.

Oxford University asks for an interview for some programs from eligible candidates. They must appear for 2-3 interviews before starting their course at the university. In interviews, subject experts simulate a mini tutorial to analyze whether students can think, analyze, and apply knowledge. 

Review the personal statement and be ready to answer questions based on the statement
Practice thinking while solving unfamiliar problems or materials
Take mock interviews as much as possible
Read articles, essays, and listen to podcasts to be aware of things beyond the textbook.
