If there were no objections to the first-choice colleges decision not to shortlist the candidate, any other college could rescue the candidate. 0000014577 00000 n We hope to be able to return to including some form of cGCSE score in the December 2023 admissions round. Overall figures are as follows: Total number of applications: 684 This included 10 deferred applications for 2024 entry to the course. More details are shown in the graph above (this only includes marks on the main PAT test). Before 2021, the first stage of our shortlisting process had used a combination of contextualised GCSE performance (for those candidates with GCSE grades) and BMAT score. A candidate with interview and test marks consistently below 60 is in a weak position, Interview strongly suggests that the candidate is not suitable. The contextual data and flagging policy uses a range of socio-economic and school measures to place individual applicants on a spectrum of disadvantage for more effective identification of under-represented and disadvantaged students. Colleges are set deselection targets so that across all colleges at least 2.75 applicants per place are shortlisted. Test scores are not made available to candidates automatically but can be provided by the College on request. Scores will be sent to applicants via email by the Department of Computer Science in January, shortly after colleges have communicated application outcomes. endstream endobj 33 0 obj <> endobj 34 0 obj <> endobj 35 0 obj <>stream These systems worked well. In making final decisions, admitting tutors carefully examine all available information at every stage: qualifications achieved and predicted, school or college reports, personal statements, written work, Oxford ELAT results, and performance in interviews. All interviews this year were undertaken online. The number of applicants to particular colleges varies from year to year, so candidates that are judged worthy of an interview are reallocated from the oversubscribed colleges of that year to the undersubscribed colleges. 2021, male applicants did slightly better on BMAT than female applicants (mean 56.9% vs 51.9%). Four offers were also made for deferred 2024 entry. dptZ.= ex{b` Oxford University has today published its first Annual Admissions Statistical Report which sets out a detailed picture of our undergraduate admissions over the past 4Too few applicants taking GCSEs or A-levels to give meaningful numbers. All applicants are expected to sit the Mathematics Admissions Test prior to shortlisting. 630 applicants were shortlisted and invited to interview. The average number of GCSEs taken by Biology applicants was 9.99, and the average of those shortlisted was 10.0. Note that this will be generally lower the acceptances rates (acceptances divided by applicants) published by many other sources. New additions We are working on making Admission Report more accurate and complete Data Improvements - 12 Oct 2022 Imperial Undergraduate Data Updated Imperial undergraduate numbers for the last three academic years have been added. 25.4% of eligible applicants resided outside the UK; of these, 5.7% resided inside the EU and 19.7% outside the EU. Oxford, OX1 4JD Compared to 2021, there was a slight decrease in the number of available places, reflecting capacity pressures in colleges following the Covid years. On the basis of evidence from their UCAS form, contextualised GCSE scores, written work, and performance in the admissions test (the Oxford ELAT), applicants are placed in one of ten decile bands. Shortlisting was performed by the Chemistry Admissions Coordinators and the College tutors in accordance with thestated admissions criteria, based on all available and relevant data: in particular these data include all aspects of the applicant's UCAS form and any further relevant contextual data specific to the application. This is part of a broader process to ensure that all candidates are assessed equitably across the entire field. 0000009953 00000 n sketches and equations). These decisions are then communicated to the respective College offices for dissemination to shortlisted applicants. Around half of the candidates between the two thresholds were shortlisted for interview, resulting in around 3 applicants per place. There was variation in the remaining A level subject(s) taken by A level applicants some shortlisted applicants held Biology plus two or more of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Intellectual flexibility:this can be demonstrated by (for example) a candidates willingness to consider alternative views, and readiness to respond to problems and criticisms. The interviews were graded against agreed descriptors. endstream endobj startxref Reallocation is carried out on the faculty MLAD database. All candidates summoned for interview received two interviews by their first choice college. Following the first College interviews, the Admissions Co-ordinator allocated three candidates per college for second college interviews. Merton first-choice candidates had at least two interviews lasting approximately 20 minutes each, and candidates were given 30 minutes to prepare material before the start of each interview. All proposals for not summoning to the interview had to be agreed by the first-choice college with the admissions coordinator and the second choice college and notified to the admissions mailing list. %%EOF College admitting tutors may also shortlist a small number of for interview applicants who are outside the top 50% but who show promise in one of more areas of assessment. Colleges with a lower ratio than the average will be asked to receive candidates. This is undertaken in full consultation with the tutors in each college, and is done in order to make the Admissions process as fair as possible, giving all candidates a balanced chance of gaining a place in the University as a whole. 12 were invited to interview, and were invited to sit a short MAT-like paper via remote invigilation prior to their interviews. The number of applicants called for interview is usually fixed at around 425, in other words about 2.5 applicants per place available. Every year, there are applicants who are excellent physicists who underperform on the PAT and so we do not get a chance to see their excellence at interview. The written language tests last half-an-hour and are taken in schools in November. Each candidate for Classics had two interviews with Merton, each lasting about 30 minutes. All shortlisted candidates were then allocated a second college and again each college had approximately the same number of applicants to consider per available place. After colleges have deselected their target number of applicants, some shortlisted applicants are reallocated. The applicants performance in each interview is judged according to the admissions criteria, codified on a numeric scale against agreed descriptors, and shared among all tutors involved in admissions, together with the applicants UCAS forms and their test results. Interview performance is judged according to the following criteria: Evidence of independent thinking about literature, Readiness and commitment to read widely with discrimination. There are also applicants whom we interview and we would have liked to have offered places to, but are unable to do so because of the finite capacity of the course. This year we received 2141 applications for 240 places, there were approximately 8.92 applications per available place. 29.9% of applicants were female (29.3%) and 22.9% of those offered a place are female (28.3%). The number of shortlisted applicants was therefore restricted to slightly less than 3 for each quota place. If you achieve top grades at A-level, or other equivalent academic qualifications which meet our admission requirements, you are welcome to apply for entry next year. More information on how to apply can be found in the Applying to Oxford section of our website but please note the deadline for applications for entry next year is 15 October. As guidance, the Admissions Coordinator advises college tutors as to an upper threshold score and a lower threshold score. We wish all applicants enjoyment and understanding in their future pursuits of physics. Each applicant is associated with a first college, either of their choosing, or selected for them in a way that aims to even out the competition for places across the colleges. There were334open applications and48deferred entry applications. In the case of beginners, clear evidence of aptitude and potential for language study. As with last year it was therefore decided to set a relatively high automatic shortlisting threshold, to allow for a higher fraction of shortlisted applicants with PAT scores below the automatic threshold but where application forms showed other evidence of excellence or mitigating circumstances. Throughout the process, tutors were looking for clear evidence of enthusiasm for the course, combined with an inquiring mind, analytical skills, intellectual ambition, commitment and motivation. Questions tended to focus on matters of texture, form, harmonic structure, articulation, style and affect.

A small number of candidates received their results late, or received revised BMAT scores due to a results query, after shortlisting had been completed. 787 applicants were from the UK, 43 from the EU, and 140 from overseas. This year the test was taken on Wednesday 2 November 2022. 463 applicants identified as international for fee-paying purposes submitted complete applications for 2023 entry. Of these, 9 were shortlisted and interviewed, and 1 received an offer of a place for 2024 (compared to 3 last year who were offered deferred places for 2023). Shortlisting decisions are reviewed by the subject coordinator in order to ensure consistency between colleges. It is aimed primarily at assessing the candidates potential for future development. Their paper, published today [Thurs] in the journal Antiquity, reports the discovery may be evidence of a probable undocumented military campaign across south east Jordan into Saudi Arabia.

Colleges were set a target number of interviewees to nominate, based on the number of places they had to offer and ensuring that the total number of interviews across Oxford would equate to three per place. As in 2021, we used a contextualised measure of BMAT performance in the first stage of our shortlisting process in the 2022 admissions round. We know that every year we turn down applicants who, in the end, turn out to be stronger physicists than some of the applicants we do offer places to.
