Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

If Oxford reject me

If Oxford sends a rejection by the 9th of January, can I still apply to another run as the deadline is the 15th January? Or does my UCAS go to all the universities when i send it on October 15th (or before) to Oxford. Thanks

Your application is sent to all universities listed when submitted (e.g. by the Oct 15th date), however all applications received before the cutoff (either Oct 15th or January 15th) are considered equally. Universities cannot discriminate against your application because they received it "early", whether they think you are applying to Oxbridge or not.

As such it doesn't matter when you submit the application. However, you can initially apply to Oxbridge and then add the other options later - provided you do so before the later deadline, they will be considered equally with others as above. It doesn't really make a difference though, but it is an option.
