Hi mate,
I havent been through the selection process for either of these schools, but I do know someone who went through Oxford and gave me the lowdown.First things first, I would not worry about the technical side of things as you are in a position where you do not have any flight experience so you will not be expected to do know a great deal about it. Having said that, I would have a brief look as to what makes aircraft fly, how engines work, etc, just in case.Hopefully someone else here who has been through the process can confirm this.
These flight schools are more interested in your personality and how well rounded you are as a person, so when it comes to the interview they will ask you for examples of times when you showed e.g. leadership, teamwork, decision making etc. You can prepare for these things quite easily by thinking of life events that can be used to prove the traits that they look for.
Good luck!
