University of Oxford 2022 Applicants Official Thread

Thanks to everyone who voted for me in the tsr awards

how do i vote!

The TSR community awards are like the "oscars" of TSR. Every year, TSRians vote for their favourites.

First they are invited to nominate their favourites in several categories.

Although I was not nominated for best help in universities, I was nominated for:

Member of the Year
Most Supportive Member
Favourite Oldie
and Agony Aunt (my favourite sideline on TSR)

Last year I won (if I recall) Most Supportive Member and (inexplicably) Flirt of the Year. I came runner up in the best help in universities category.

All the categories are there. Just click on the link and then choose from the poll at the top of the link

I think there are 4 days left to vote.

voted for you in all 4 categories this morning!!

Hi all, just wanted to let you know about the Oxford outreach events calendar which you can find here: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/increasing-access/events-calendar

There are a bunch of events coming up including taster days for students in Scotland and NI, Chemistry taster days and a virtual humanities study day for BAME students. Most of them are free for state school students so would recommend checking them out!


Can't speak for vegans, but I've actually been pretty surprised at how nice the veggie food at St Hilda's is! We had vegan and vegetarian options for all meals last term (not all colleges do!). Some meals are definitely better than others but overall it's definitely on the better side compared to other canteen food I've had.

Thank you for sharing. I signed up for the chemistry taster day - when will I know if I got in?

Hope you get in. My elder son went on a modern languages taster day once and said it was great!

The most up-to-date published application data by college and subject is at:

https://public.tableau.com/views/UniversityofOxford-CollegeSuccessRates2019/CollegeSuccessRates?:embed=y&:display_count=yes&:showTabs=y&:showVizHome=no

But that data is for entry in 2019, so there have been two (or 1.5) admissions cycles since then.

I think it's important not to dwell on these data, as they don't tell you much about the academic quality of the field, and forget all the processes Oxford has to distribute candidates around the colleges. Also they can change markedly and quickly - e.g. Brasenose's numbers have come down a lot in the last two years.

Thank you I hope so too. I voted for you in the TSR awards - hopefully you win

Since I go to a private school, will this affect my chances of getting in?

The colleges receiving the most applications in the last cycle were Worcester, St John's, Magdalen, Keble, and Christ Church who each received more than 1,000. Worcester received the most (about 1,317) closely followed by St John's (1,289). Brasenose was mid-table with 656. As has frequently been pointed out though, since students can be moved between colleges, the overall chances of getting a place tend to be equalised. We would say though that there is more chance of an offer coming from Brasenose if you to apply to us (as opposed to an offer from another college) now than there was a few years ago, when we imported a smaller number of students.

Hi Oxford Mum! I just voted for you in all four categories! Good luck! Thank you so much for all of your help!! You deserve the award!

Yes, it would be a shame if that is the case. I've sent an email as Elilast suggested.

The link doesn't specify the school type of applicants, so hopefully it is available for all students - especially since it's online

Hi all! Me again - just to let you know applications are now open for Wadham's 5 day summer school in Biology and Human Sciences, Classics, and modern foreign languages. Applications close at the end of May, looks like a great opportunity for current Year 12 students https://www.wadham.ox.ac.uk/news/2021/march/summer-school-applications-now-open
