Oxford University Acceptances International

About 10% of international applicants end up coming.

Note that they key thing is your application, there's no set number of international students admitted, if you're among the best applicants, you'll get a place.

That's actually not as low as the good American universities!

Oxbridge tends to be very self-selective, given that the application process is so much more arduous than for other UK universities (especially if you're an international unused to the UK system) Furthermore, you can only apply to 5 universities through UCAS so people tend not to waste their choice on an unrealistic 'reach'.

Can you apply to both Oxford and Cambridge as an international student or not?

No, same as UK students, you can only apply to one.

Ok thanks

Do you know for post-grad if you can apply to both?

Yeah you can.

Can't you apply to all of them with overseas qualifications?

Hi,

I go to school in America and am considering applying to Oxford next year. In the UCAS application, do we need to fill in our term grades (i.e. grades outside of SAT/AP that you get every term) and GPA? Furthermore, is Oxford anything like American universities in the way that they factor in student body diversity in the admission process? For example, does Oxford consider things like an applicant's ethnicity, geographical diversity, etc? Thanks and sorry if this was not the right place to ask.

Student body diversity is not a consideration that sways applications (at least that's the official position). Oxford seeks to pick the best applicants, regardless of race/gender and so there's no affirmative action, like at some American universities.

For domestic applicants it does however take into account your school's performance relative to the average and the performance of your local area, but this has nothing directly to do with race.

Thanks for the reply! Do you have any ideas on the UCAS aspect of my question? Thanks.

Hi, everyone! Thanks for all of your answers! @DCDude I'm thinking of applying for Biochemistry (Molecular and Cellular Biology).

You should consider Trinity for Biochem - beautiful college + very strong track record in Biochemistry (Normally a high number of firsts, iirc 2 years ago Trinitarians claimed the top 3 Finals marks out of the whole year).
