The 19-year-old Pakistani teenager, who survived a near-fatal attack by the Taliban, said her interview was not easy and like any other student she was anxiously waiting for the result, Geo News reported.
The youngest Nobel Peace prize winner, who has documented her experiences growing up in Pakistan’s Swat Valley under Taliban rule in the book I am Malala co-written with Sunday Times journalist Christina Lamb, is aspiring to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics, the report said.
