All candidates are assessed on a broad range of criteria. Where an applicant is eligible and would benefit from it, tutors may nominate them for theOpportunity Oxfordscheme. This is a thorough, long and demanding process which we believe ensures that those most suited to the particular study approach and system in Oxford are selected. We know that it is disappointing to candidates and their schools that we are not able to offer places to all of the very able young people we see. Each application was graded against agreed descriptors. Prior to the interviews, we held an online pre-interview meeting to allow the applicants to see who would be interviewing them, to explain the interview process, and to answer any questions. (186 in 2021). Candidates interviewed: 620 1559 (98.4%)successfully registered to sit the Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT) by the registration deadline, which was 30 September 2022. 0000006698 00000 n We do not ascribe equal weighting to all sections of BMAT. Colleges then select second interviews using all information available for each candidate. After the reallocation has taken place colleges can choose to rescue deselected applicants. Candidates were selected using standardselection criteria. The acceptance rate, or offer rate, represents the fraction of applicants who received an offer. Most applicants sat it in their school or in another registered test centre, with a small number sitting the test via remote invigilation. To find out more,read our selection criteria. Each applicant has a first-assigned college, which is either the college to which they applied or, in the case of open applications, a college randomly assigned by the University Admissions Office in such a way as to even out the number of applicants per place across colleges. The mean BMAT score was 53.3%, which rose to 65.7% for those shortlisted and 68.3% for applicants. Candidates called for interview will have an application which includes: an excellent or promising academic record; a compelling personal statement; a strong reference; good written work; and an Oxford ELAT paper of a high standard. Of the 1559 applicants who successfully registered to sit the test, 1514 sat it on the day. In neither case was any prior knowledge of the material expected; the interviews were not tests of knowledge, but of candidates powers of observation, analysis and enquiry. Each applicant is also associated with a second college chosen randomly with the same aim. Candidates were selected usingstandard selection criteria. University of Oxford Admissions Report | Mansfield College The composition of interview panels was arranged such that every candidate was interviewed by at least one practising clinician. 0000005018 00000 n Candidates for Classics and Modern Languages had a Classics interview lasting about 25 minutes. The average number of GCSEs taken by Biology applicants was 9.99, and the average of those shortlisted was 10.0. UCL acceptance rates, statistics and applications It is not an indicator of the strength or weakness of an applicant; applicants can be reallocated with very high PAT scores. These do not have to be subject-specific. Critical thinking and problem-solving:this can be shown in (for example) a candidates ability to adopt logical and critical approaches to problems, to critically assess arguments, to identify good and bad reasons for believing a particular claim, to assess relevance, and to think independently. On the basis of this final ranking, candidates were provisionally assigned offers at a particular college, with the college the applicant had chosen (or had been allocated to) having first refusal. The school backgrounds of those given offers are as follows: Grahame Evans Procedure for 2nd interviews: All second interviews were organised centrally by the Faculty of Classics; candidates flagged for second interview were assigned to one of the seven faculty interviewing panels, each of which had a historian and an archaeologist on it, who conducted a single interview with the candidate. These include complete transparency of all information gained about each applicant, supported by an online information system, and a final meeting where the strongest unplaced applicants are identified and open offers are agreed. Of the 371 female applicants, 77 were shortlisted and invited to interview, comprising 22.1% of the total shortlisted applicants. Each applicant was interviewed by two colleges: the college of preference, or allocation if an open application was made, and one other randomly assigned by computer so as to equalise as far as possible the strength of the applicant field at each college (as measured by the numerical ranking produced by the shortlisting algorithm). There were 114 places available for 2023 entry to the course, meaning there were 6.5 applications per available place. Around 28% of offers (24%) made in this cycle were either open offers or made by a college other than the first college considering the applicant. 32 eligible applicants applied for deferred entry (31 in 2021).

As part of the university-wide Common Framework for Admissions, introduced a few years ago, the Law Faculty shortlists candidates (college-blind) in consultation with a Faculty Selection Committee (FSC) consisting of representatives from 15 Colleges. French vs. Russian). Following shortlisting, which is conducted in line with the quota imposed on the Medical School by the UK Government for the available international places, 36 of these applicants were shortlisted and 8 applicants received an offer for 2023. 8 international fee-status applicants received an offer for 2023. 164 (68.9%) offered A-level Computer Science or Computing. 0000000016 00000 n Once shortlisting is complete, the Faculty operates a procedure of reallocation between colleges, moving some candidates to colleges other than the one to which they originally applied. Maths and physics elements are mixed together into a single two-hour paper. Students shortlisted at Merton were interviewed on Teams. The admissions team at Merton considered the above-mentioned six criteria together with the interview performance when making their final decisions. The assessment of candidates at the pre-interview stage is based on the following six criteria: It is important to note that weakness in one of these areas may be compensated by exceptional strength elsewhere, as well as by extenuating circumstances (medical conditions, recent bereavements, etc.). In total 1015 (894 last year) applications were received in 2022 for Chemistry. It also conducted a preliminary review of the admissions process. The colleges use various procedures in a coordinated effort to ensure that the strongest applicants are admitted across the University irrespective of the college considering their application. Reallocation has been practised by the University for many years, assuring that all strong applicants have the same chance of obtaining places at Oxford, although possibly not at their first-choice college. 0000012965 00000 n 37.7% of offers were made by colleges other than the college of preference (or allocation). The average number of 9s, 8s and A*s at GCSE by Biology applicants was 8.4. While the majority of accepted applicants have three good interviews (at least as viewed by the interviewers), 62 accepted applicants had one interview which scored less than a 7, while 14 accepted applicants had one interview which scored below 6. For applicants offered a place, the average interview mark this year was 7.98 (7.95 in 2021). .)q9F,.Y\riDHrdI|x:J&eRAV4FmC\}T=4}moQex Lx]-{txXL 718applicants were shortlisted and265were offered places.

For those with an offer of a place, the mean adjusted BMAT score was 68.3%. Candidates highly placed in the cross-college rankings but not certain to be offered a place at their first-choice college were allocated by the Faculty to other colleges for further interviews. Note that this will be generally lower the acceptances rates (acceptances divided by applicants) published by many other sources. 1Applicants in the most disadvantaged group according to contextual measures. Interviews are marked on a 1-100 scale: A mark above 70 is a strong indicator for admission. We will deal with the issue as soon as possible. In all 205 (201 last year) offers were made, including open offers. 630 applicants were shortlisted and invited to interview. Short-listing is therefore followed by a reallocation process, in which applicants are transferred from first-choice colleges with a large ratio of applicants per place, to colleges with a smaller ratio of applicants per place. The Physics Departments Report on the Physics Admissions Exercise 2022, available below or as published on the Departments website, provides details of the shortlisting procedure, including statistics from the Physics Aptitude Test (PAT). Candidates received at least one additional interview at this second stage in order to enable tutors to compare candidates fully. The majority of candidates who applied were called for interview. The number of applicants per place was7.0. Those who notified us that they would be unable to attend this meeting were able to watch a recording before their interviews started. As a result, 17 applicants were offered a place at a college that had not interviewed them at all, either as first or second college. A further 5 deferred offers were made for entry into Physics in 2024. The data below, unless otherwise stated, refer to the subset of 1,569 applicants (91.6%) who were eligible to apply and had registered for the BMAT (with almost all of these sitting the test) and had not withdrawn their application by the time of shortlisting. 4 withdrew from the application process before shortlisting.

They can be accessed viaCambridge Assessments Results Online system. Scores will be sent to applicants via email by the Department of Computer Science in January, shortly after colleges have communicated application outcomes. For the Economics interview, candidates were asked to use logical reasoning and quantitative skills to work through a problem related to topics in game theory and to broader economic principles. Merton first-choice candidates had at least two interviews lasting approximately 20 minutes each, and candidates were given 30 minutes to prepare material before the start of each interview. The marks achieved by applicants who sat the main PAT test ranged from 3% to 97%, with a mean mark of 51.2% (43.1% in 2021 and 49.5% in 2020) and a standard deviation of 16.9% (17.7% in 2021, 15.9% in 2020). 0000015406 00000 n Overall figures are as follows: Total number of applications: 684 WebUniversity of Oxford acceptance rates, statistics and application numbers for academic years 2007-2022 Report Undergraduate 15% offer rate 1 in 7 undergraduate applicants received Throughout the process all UCAS forms, contextual information, application and interview grades were easily accessible to all College tutors involved via a web-based database.
