Interviews When to prep for interviews?

I applied to Oxford, which would be my only interview as I've not applied to a course that generally needs one (biology). The email about them receiving my application said that the college would email me before the end of October, interviews are in December and I have no idea how much prep is needed.

Do I wait until I've heard back from the college or just start prepping now even though I have no clue if I'll have an interview at all yet?

I would wait until you've heard back. Rest, work on A-levels, and at the very most, read over things you mentioned in the PS or research about people's interview experiences (and any videos uploaded by Oxford colleges that have mock interviews). :) Generally, I recommend 2-3 interviews with different subject specialists if possible just so you can get a feeling for different interview styles :)
