Oxford Applicants 2016 Entry & Interview chat

Biochemistry, most likely

All depends on results

When choosing a college, is it worth playing the numbers game and working out which college take more students from state/private schools, have the lowest application numbers etc? I think, if I apply, I'll just apply to the one I liked the best when I visited

I do English with CIE. Are you going to drop one of your subjects next year?

Hi,

How did this statistic vary for E&M?

Also do you have figures for the GCSE range of applicants admitted/interviewed?


Posted from TSR Mobile

For E&M, candidates applying to us and invited for interview by an Oxford college achieved the following scores:

TSA problem solving: min 42, max 79, median 62
TSA critical thinking: min 48, max 78, median 65
TSA essay: min 45, max 70, median 62
TSA overall: min 50, max 75, median 63

For all subjects, the GCSE A* profiles are as follows:
a) any interview: min 1, max 13, median 8
b) any offer: min 1, max 12, median 9

Note that the minimum threshold for GCSE A* can be distorted by international candidates who offer multiple qualifications who may have taken the odd GCSE.

As before, our advice is to consider applying if you think you can match these scores.

is the chinese reading list just those four books?

Aren't we all... D:

Oh I know, I just thought it was a tad short! Were you there on the open day on 1st July?

Are teachers allowed to look at a personal statement?

How many of the first year accomodation rooms have an ensuite, is it common to get a sink if not? Also do you get fridges in your room and are you allowed toasters/kettles etc

True, but there are so many smart people on this forum >-< (including yourself)
