Oxford Admissions Questions

Are there any tips people have for PPE at Oxford admissions? Also, are there parts of the application they care more about than others, e.g. the interview or personal statement. Are there colleges that are harder to get into than others?

Look at this report, should tell you all you need to know.

Biggest parts of your application are your TSA and your GCSEs. You must do well / have done well in these to get an interview. Ideally, 70+ in your TSA and all 9/8s at GCSE. After getting an interview, you must perform well in all of them.

I suspect they don't even open your PS sometimes before making a decision, don't bother too much with that.

Unlike Cambridge, Oxford colleges don't matter and you will be pooled if not selected by the college you applied to.
