  Personally I'm curious what valid scoring mechanism there is for a test with "abstract questions with no right or wrong answers."

  Unless, of course, it were some old-boys club of insiders trying to feel special about themselves by excluding others... but surely Oxford grads would see through that...

  I would really like to see some of the responses from successful applicants. I emailed a few of them, and unfortunately they said that the responses are destroyed after selecting the winners, perhaps one of the winners could try to recreate a few of their responses.

  All Souls is unique among Oxbridge colleges in having no undergrads.
