I reapplied as well, last year. I submitted an open application since I wasn't very particular about the college I would go to. I went to interviews and I loved it, I got interviewed at two colleges, Harris Manchester and Lady Margaret and I eventually got admitted to Harris.
I think an open application is the best way to go if there aren't colleges that you absolutely hate and be miserable if you get there, though I can't imagine there'll be one, all of them are pretty cool. But that's just me.
And the best advice is relax! I know it sounds so cliche, but it really works, especially in essays and interviews. You will be at your best when relaxed. And the best way to achieve this is to think of an alternative to Oxford which you want just as bad. Like another uni or a job or a gap year or anything
Good luck!
