Applying whilst at another univeristy

Can you apply to Oxford whilst at another university through UCAS. If so, can the current institution remove you from the course if they find out? Many thanks

My friend did this and got rejected by oxford because they don't like people to be at one uni with the primary aim of leaving.

You can transfer into Oxford, Cambridge wont allow it. You just need to find a willing college.

I don't think that's strictly true as some colleges do allow it ( I think?)

I was told when I asked admissions I'd have to find a willing college.

To meet the UCAS deadline I would be applying a week after lectures began. Would it still be appropriate to use my school reference as nobody would know me at the university yet?

The gap year and reapplying questions thread

Posted from TSR Mobile

My bad. OP isn't thread starter on that, so I didn't find it.

What Oxford mean when they're talking about applying for year 1 entry with the support of your current university is that you apply AFTER completing the first year while taking a gap year (you could carry on into second year but that would mean that you'd get no fee loan from SFE for your first year at Oxford).

They aren't interested in attracting applications from people who have decided they aren't even going to TRY at their current course before trying to "trade up" to Oxford. That sort of lack of dedication and wilful decision to start something without any intention of completing it are NOT attractive traits in an applicant - especially for universities like Oxford where dedication and commitment to sticking things out are REQUIRED to do well.
