Oxford classics course II admissions (per college)

I know that online you can see admisssions of classics students to each college, but is there a way to see the number of students accepted into the individual classics courses for each college? for example, how many students are accepted into New College to study classics II specifically (rather than classics as a whole)? thank you!!
Hey, it looks like someone has made an FOI request to this effect recently. The university should reply in the next few weeks. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/classics_admissions_statistics_b#outgoing-1496264

Anecdotal advice from a current Classics student: I would personally not recommend applying to New College for Classics II. They don't take many Classics II students and there are lots of other colleges which are much more welcoming of Classics II (e.g. Wadham, Somerville, Hugh's, Hilda's, even Magdalen or Corpus).

By the way, this FOI came through and you can see that New College admitted zero Course II Classics applicants over the last 3 years, the lowest of any college. So I stand by the argument that Course II students should not apply to New.
