Where an applicant is eligible and would benefit from it, tutors may nominate them for theOpportunity Oxfordscheme. A small number of applicants were brought back into contention at the request of a College. Of these, 1605 applicants were contesting the 191 places available for 2023 admission places, or approximately 8.4 applicants per place, with 28 applicants seeking deferred places. Colleges with a lower ratio than the average will be asked to receive candidates. The Chemistry Department operates various procedures in a coordinated effort to ensure that the strongest applicants are admitted to the University irrespective of College choice. 5For applicants taking three or more A-levels/pre-U. 48.4% of students who were offered places were domiciled in the UK; 11.7% were domiciled in the EU; 39.8% were domiciled outside the EU. They were assessed against the published criteria on their overall communication skills and, where appropriate, on their oral competence in the relevant language(s). In addition to their History interviews, candidates in the Joint Schools also received an interview in their other chosen subject. The PAT has been run for many years, and it is a consistent predictor of future performance at Oxford. In 2022 a total of 1584 UCAS applications were received across the three undergraduate Computer Science degrees, for entry in 2023 or deferred entry in 2024. 11% of applicants taking A-levels were studying Chemistry, Biology, Physics AND Mathematics (compared to 13.5% of shortlisted applicants and 13.5% of applicants offered places). There were818female and1046male applicants. To ensure that the strongest applicants obtain places, all colleges have access to information on all applicants through a central database, and colleges are actively encouraged to flag up strong applicants they will be unable to offer a place to themselves. However, it does request written work in advance (two essays, one of which should normally be on Music, plus some harmony and counterpoint and/or composition). The cGCSE score was based on the ability to compare GCSE results between applicants from schools that are contextually similar. Shortlisting was performed by the Chemistry Admissions Coordinators and the College tutors in accordance with thestated admissions criteria, based on all available and relevant data: in particular these data include all aspects of the applicant's UCAS form and any further relevant contextual data specific to the application. 0000027653 00000 n Shortlisting is performed in accordance withthe stated admissions criteriaon the basis of all currently available and relevant data: in particular these data include an applicants score from the MAT, all aspects of the applicants UCAS form and any further relevant contextual data specific to the application. 0000015406 00000 n During the interview, candidates and interviewers used a shared electronic whiteboard (Miro) to exchange visual information (e.g. Each shortlisted applicant is also randomly assigned a second college by an algorithm aiming to equalise across colleges the interview load per place ratio. Then came his internship at Miami University Regionals. 29 shortlisted female applicants were offered places, making up 21.5% of the total offers. GCSE score (or its contextualised equivalent) and Composite Score (based on Contextual Data concerning Prior Education, Residential Postcode and Care Status) are then taken into account before Admissions Tutors make a final decision. 248 applicants were made offers to read English Language and Literature, starting in October 2023, conditional upon successfully meeting the required AAA grades. This passage then formed the basis for a discussion in the main part of the interview: we were assessing what candidates found interesting about the passage, how critically they were able to read it, and to what extent we could develop ideas about the text which might be of historical interest. One candidate reallocated prior to interview was offered a place at another college, and one further candidate who had been reallocated to Merton from different college was offered a place at a third college. We would like to express our particular gratitude this year for the hard work of both applicants parents (for applicants interviewing from home) and teachers and IT staff of applicants schools (for those interviewing from school) for their work in facilitating the interviews and making appropriate spaces available. Interviews at 1st college: all candidates received two independent interviews of 20 to 25 minutes with separate pairs of interviewers at their first-choice college; at least one of the four interviewers had to be a historian and at least one an archaeologist. College admitting tutors may also shortlist a small number of for interview applicants who are outside the top 50% but who show promise in one of more areas of assessment. Test scores are not made available to candidates automatically but can be provided by the College on request. After disclosure of the candidate rank from the second college, BMAT score and BMAT essays, colleges reviewed their ranking and submitted a final version. 1559 (98.4%)successfully registered to sit the Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT) by the registration deadline, which was 30 September 2022. The Admissions Group operates various procedures in a coordinated effort to ensure that the strongest applicants are admitted to the University irrespective of college choice; these include transparency of all test results, interview grades, and UCAS forms amongst all tutors involved with admissions, and a final meeting of tutors at which the strongest unplaced applicants are collectively discussed and open offers are made by the Admissions Group. We stress that all of these elements in combination form the basis of our difficult decisions, and that underperformance or an excessively good performance at interview is not on its own a decisive factor in them. The most common A-Level subjects studied by interviewees were English Literature, History, and Mathematics. 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. We had 105 places available for entry next year and made 105 college offers, 8open offers (where a University place is guaranteed if the conditions are achieved but the College place will be allocated in August) and 2 offers for deferred entry. In the 2022-23 admissions round the estimated competition for places across Oxford was approximately 1.9:1. Web1543 (96.7%) successfully registered to sit the Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT) by the registration deadline, which was at 18:00 GMT on 15 October 2020. We do not ascribe equal weighting to all sections of BMAT. The 45 applicants who successfully registered for the test but were unable to sit it due to unexpected circumstances beyond their control were considered on the basis of their UCAS form. Candidates were not expected to have studied either subject at A-level, but to have a good general knowledge, and to demonstrate interest in and enthusiasm for studying both business and the economy, to demonstrate logic and critical thinking, and to communicate clearly and effectively. 11.7% of applicants who were shortlisted and 8.6% of applicants with an offer studied for qualifications other than A-levels (including the IB). The admissions team at Merton considered the above-mentioned six criteria together with the interview performance when making their final decisions. 0000019916 00000 n In light of the competition for places, the purpose of shortlisting is to identify those applicants who are most likely to succeed in the rest of the selection process, giving interviewers time to consider each shortlisted applicant carefully. This year the number of applicants was1864. These were taken into account in making shortlisting and offer decisions. WebMaking changes to your work after submission (Inspera and Moodle). 0000009953 00000 n Applicants were interviewed by both their first and second colleges, and a small number were invited to further interviews at a third college. The assessment of candidates at the pre-interview stage takes account of all information in the application, including: (1) academic performance to date; (2) predicted grades; (3) reference; (4) the LNAT multiple choice test, and (5) the LNAT essay. For detailed FMML Selection and Interview Criteria see:https://www.mod- langs.ox.ac.uk/faqs#faq-12. In making final decisions, admitting tutors carefully examine all available information at every stage: qualifications achieved and predicted, school or college reports, personal statements, written work, Oxford ELAT results, and performance in interviews. Overall figures are as follows: Total number of applications: 684 Intellectual flexibility:this can be demonstrated by (for example) a candidates willingness to consider alternative views, and readiness to respond to problems and criticisms. MSc Evidence-Based Health Care (Medical Statistics DPhil (PhD) Infection, Immunology and Translationa DPhil (PhD) Molecular and Cellular Medicine. 20.7% of applicants offered alternative qualifications, the most popular of which was the IB (10.1%), with US qualifications (SAT subject tests/ AP tests), Canadian qualifications, the Singaporean SIPCAL, and Scottish Advanced Highers representing the next most popular options. 0000002507 00000 n The selection criteria for PPE are onthe course website. All shortlisted applicants were invited for interview in mid-December. Of these, 9 were shortlisted and interviewed, and 1 received an offer of a place for 2024 (compared to 3 last year who were offered deferred places for 2023). All shortlisted candidates were then allocated a second college and again each college had approximately the same number of applicants to consider per available place. Please note that colleges interviewed blind of college of choice (or allocation) and BMAT score. There were 114 places available for 2023 entry to the course, meaning there were 6.5 applications per available place. Weakness in one of these areas can be compensated by exceptional strength elsewhere, as well as by special circumstances (medical conditions, recent bereavements etc.). Decisions are deemed to be official at the end of the final meeting. Reflecting the disruptions to normal educational patterns since March 2020, a further 164 applicants (compared to 202 in 2021 and 83 in 2020) were also shortlisted, who were below the automatic thresholds but whose application forms showed other evidence of excellence or mitigating circumstances. After Biology interviews finished, Biology representatives for all colleges met as a group at this meeting all decisions relating to interview candidates were agreed and confirmed, including which candidates would receive a Biology Open Offer. The nominations made were scrutinised further along with the 80 applicants just below the cut-off point. The majority of candidates who applied were called for interview. 10941 24 They take into account all information from the UCAS form and any relevant contextual information such as educational background, socio-economic background, or extenuating circumstances. For the Ancient History interview, all candidates were given a short passage (in English) from an Ancient Historical source to read for 15 minutes in advance of the interview. The average score for Written Work submitted by interview candidates was 7.6/10. 0 The Departmental policy is that conditional offers should normally be set at A*AA at A-level with the A* in a science or maths, or the equivalent. Of these, 95% were taking Further Mathematics as a full A-level. The acceptances generally indicate the number of offer holders who accepted the offer and fulfilled its conditions. WebThe annual admissions report is a very valuable tool in guiding the work of the Admissions Committee and our Outreach team.

If the data does not look right, click the "Report" button located near the top of the page. For candidates shortlisted for interview, the average score was 46.9. Merton Street As with last year it was therefore decided to set a relatively high automatic shortlisting threshold, to allow for a higher fraction of shortlisted applicants with PAT scores below the automatic threshold but where application forms showed other evidence of excellence or mitigating circumstances. This ranking is for guidance only; all applicants are assessed individually based on their C-scores, PAT scores, interview results, and all information on the UCAS form, including contextual information, and then compared centrally against all applicants applying to Oxford Physics. In all colleges, therefore, candidates at interview will have the same chance of being offered a place. Admissions decisions were confirmed by correspondence between colleges and the Medical Sciences Office. 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. A-Level (or equivalent). A candidate with interview and test marks consistently below 60 is in a weak position, Interview strongly suggests that the candidate is not suitable. 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. 2.1.3. 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. Interview criteria: Interviews were intended to inform the admitting tutors about the following qualities of the candidate: candidates potential for independent thinking, ability to follow an argument, skill in communication, and adaptability for tutorial teaching. 0000025813 00000 n Before the submission deadline. Colleges made 150 quota offers, 1 deferred offers and 11 open offers (which means the applicant is guaranteed a place at Oxford to study Medicine, but will not be assigned to a college until after A-level results are known). The number of applicants to particular colleges varies from year to year, so candidates that are judged worthy of an interview are reallocated from the oversubscribed colleges of that year to the undersubscribed colleges. Among this years 348 shortlisted applicants. After the interviews, the three interview marks are combined into a single score (out of 100). This year, the automatic threshold was set at 68%. The majority of candidates who applied were called for interview. Colleges normally wish to involve tutors from all three subjects, but since there are no specific subject requirements and the content of the interviews is not subject-specific, this is not necessarily the case. This information included school UCAS references, HAT scores, submitted written work, and predicted or achieved school examination results, and, where available, contextual data. This included 10 Open Offers, where a place is guaranteed if the offer conditions are achieved but the college place will be allocated before the course commences. Ultimately, 200 offers were made for entry in 2023. The application college also assessed all applications to their college and made recommendations. 3.4% were doing 5 or more A-levels (though not necessarily all being completed in one academic year). Applicants for joint degrees are typically given separate interviews in the two subjects. 37.7% of offers were made by colleges other than the college of preference (or allocation). In the case of beginners, clear evidence of aptitude and potential for language study. To guide admitting tutors, an overall ranking was produced based on the post-interview C-score: Post-Interview C-score = (PAT mark out of 100) + 2 x (Interviews out of 100). The Mark Scheme (for schoolwork and interviews) is as follows: All decisions to offer places to ML candidates (Joint School included) were confirmed at the ML Admissions Final Decisions meeting on Friday 16th December 2022.

These do not have to be subject-specific. A further 5 deferred offers were made for entry into Physics in 2024. 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. 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. 0000014577 00000 n Merton interviews were conducted byDr Brianne DolceandMr Dylan Price.

WebSummary of the 2021/22 University of Oxford Admissions Process for the subjects; Mathematics, Mathematics & Statistics, Mathematics & Philosophy, and Mathematics & Others who failed to register or who did not sit the test and did not have exceptional circumstances were notified that their application was no longer under consideration. There were a significant number of declared special circumstances, medical certificates or letters drawing attention to adversities in applicants personal lives that may have affected performance or ability to participate in the test. The test is designed to test knowledge of basic structures of the foreign language. The average score for Oxford applicants answering questions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 was: 65.2 (69.5) amongst shortlisted applicants; 71.5 (73.5) amongst successful applicants. (186 in 2021).

In December 2022, 31 shortlisted applicants were reallocated via this procedure, and 7 of those applicants were subsequently offered places by the colleges to which they were reallocated. In the History Joint Schools, the same process was used to select candidates for interview, with additional input from non-history subject tutors, who assessed candidates non-history written work where this was submitted. Interviews are academic in nature. However, the circumstances of GCSE grades in summer 2021 (where they were, as in summer 2020, awarded by teacher assessment rather than external exams) made this less reliable as levels of grade inflation differed significantly between schools. 32 eligible applicants applied for deferred entry (31 in 2021). Every short-listed candidate has two interviews given by a first-choice college and one given by a randomly allocated second-choice college. This year 77 applicants were reallocated to a different first choice college at the time of shortlisting. In 2022 we received 1,713 UCAS applications (1,864 in 2021). A number of candidates above the three were also interviewed in second colleges. 463 applicants identified as international for fee-paying purposes submitted complete applications for 2023 entry. All figures in brackets relate to the previous admissions cycle, 2021/22. Table 1 shows the breakdown by course applied for at each stage of the admissions process. 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. tarrant county family court, puthata namak sinhala 2021,
