In the 2022-23 admissions round the estimated competition for places across Oxford was approximately 1.9:1. 2.1.3. This is part of a broader process to ensure that all candidates are assessed equitably across the entire field. Details relating to the MAT, including several past and specimen papers, can be found at:www.maths.ox.ac.uk/study-here/undergraduate-study/maths-admissions-test. For those with an offer of a place, the mean adjusted BMAT score was 68.3%. To ensure that the strongest applicants obtain places, all colleges have access to information on all applicants through a central database, and colleges are actively encouraged to flag up strong applicants they will be unable to offer a place to themselves. As guidance, the Admissions Coordinator advises college tutors as to an upper threshold score and a lower threshold score. Final selection was based upon a combination of all the elements available: candidates academic record and predicted grades, UCAS statement and reference, written work, and interview performance. Others who failed to register or who did not sit the test and did not have exceptional circumstances were notified that their application was no longer under consideration. Each applicant has a first-assigned college, which is either the college to which they applied or, in the case of open applications, a college randomly assigned by the University Admissions Office in such a way as to even out the number of applicants per place across colleges. 12 were invited to interview, and were invited to sit a short MAT-like paper via remote invigilation prior to their interviews.

In 2022 we received 1,713 UCAS applications (1,864 in 2021). All applicants are expected to sit the Mathematics Admissions Test prior to shortlisting. Of these, 357 received an overall grade of 4.5 or better out of 7 (with 4 being worth careful consideration and 5 being worth a place if one is available) and 334 received an overall grade above 5, so being made an offer of a place is a very considerable achievement. 4 withdrew from the application process before shortlisting. Decisions are not completed until the final admissions meeting after all the candidates have left; when additional interviews are set up, this is to make sure that other colleges to whom candidates have been assigned have a chance to consider them in the context of their own admissions process. //-->ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT ]]> The average score for Written Work submitted by interview candidates was 7.6/10. Our questions for all candidates aimed to find out what they found interesting and exciting about the subject and how well they could develop their ideas. TSA resultswill be available online from early January. Once these scores were received, affected applications were reviewed accordingly and if warranted, were added to the shortlist for interviews. The results were released on 10 January 2022 and you can find more information about this at: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/applying-to-oxford/guide/admissions-tests/elat. [CDATA[// >
