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. Each applicant had a first-assigned College.

In cases where a college is particularly over-subscribed (more than four shortlisted applicants per place), a college must reallocate a fraction of their candidates. Interviews were academic in nature. In the 2022-23 admissions round Merton received 62 applications for Physics and Physics & Philosophy in total, i.e. In the interview with tutors in Classical Languages and Literature, questions were asked about the texts which candidates had been reading (whether in the context of their taught syllabus or on their own). All possible information was used for shortlisting and admissions offers. In the very few cases in which technical issues did occur, candidates were given additional time or the interview was rescheduled. The most common reason for non-selection is simply that it is an exceptionally competitive process. Candidates for Classics from other colleges who received a second interview were seen by a combined panel of tutors for a single interview. There were 127 open applications for Biology, which means that 17% of applicants did not choose a college when they applied. Mertons shortlisted candidates for Physics were given two interviews by Merton on Physics and Mathematics and at least one other interview by tutors at another college. All A-level applicants must take Chemistry. Reflecting the disruptions to normal educational patterns since March 2020, a further 164 applicants (compared to 202 in 2021 and 83 in 2020) were also shortlisted, who were below the automatic thresholds but whose application forms showed other evidence of excellence or mitigating circumstances. Merton College, UK Registered Charity No. It is not primarily a test of vocabulary. Oxford University is pleased to publish its fifth Annual Admissions Statistical Report. This gives information on the students who have applied to our undergraduate courses, received offers and been admitted, over the last five admissions years between 2017 and 2021. 11 graduates submitted eligible applications (3 of these were international applicants). Shortlisting is performed in accordance withthe stated admissions criteriaon the basis of all currently available and relevant data: in particular these data include an applicants score from the MAT, all aspects of the applicants UCAS form and any further relevant contextual data specific to the application. Today the University of Oxford has published its Annual Admissions Statistical Report detailing the University's undergraduate admissions figures five years. Colleges made 150 quota offers, 1 deferred offers and 11 open offers (which means the applicant is guaranteed a place at Oxford to study Medicine, but will not be assigned to a college until after A-level results are known). 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. 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. acceptance rates, statistics and application numbers, BA/MCompPhil Computer Science and Philosophy, BA/MMathCompSci Mathematics and Computer Science, BA Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), MEng Engineering, Economics and Management (EEM), MSc Sustainability, Enterprise and the Environment, MSc Mathematical and Computational Finance, PgCert Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. In the 2022-23 admissions round the estimated competition for places across Oxford was 9:1 for Law including LSE. The point of this system is to minimise the extent to which applicants may be prejudiced by their choice of college and to make sure, as far as possible, that all those applicants who are strong enough to merit an interview are in fact interviewed. All shortlisted Chemistry applicants were interviewed remotely over a two-week period in December. 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. We had a high number of applicants for English Language and Literature, with many very good applications, which means that we had to make many difficult decisions.

Throughout the process all UCAS forms, contextual information, application and interview grades were easily accessible to all College tutors involved via a web-based database. Procedure for 2nd interviews: All second interviews were organised centrally by the Faculty of Classics; candidates flagged for second interview were assigned to one of the seven faculty interviewing panels, each of which had a historian and an archaeologist on it, who conducted a single interview with the candidate. Applicants who do not take the pre-interview test will not normally be shortlisted for interview. They were assessed against the published criteria on their overall communication skills and, where appropriate, on their oral competence in the relevant language(s). Male: 126 (61%). For applicants offered a place, the average interview mark this year was 7.98 (7.95 in 2021). Throughout the process all UCAS forms, test scores, contextual information, comments, and interview grades are easily accessible to all college tutors involved with admissions via a web-based database. This year there were 867 applicants across the University for direct entry (an increase of 72 on the previous year) and 8for deferred entry to study Biochemistry. Candidates interviewed: 620 Each interview is marked out of 10 based on the academic judgement of the interviewing tutors. Female: 79 (39%) 224 (64.4%) had taken five or more GCSEs. We wish all applicants enjoyment and understanding in their future pursuits of physics. The number of shortlisted applicants was therefore restricted to slightly less than 3 for each quota place. 802 applicants registered as Female on UCAS and 168 applicants registered as Male. Candidates called for interview will have an application which includes: an excellent or promising academic record; a compelling personal statement; a strong reference; good written work; and an Oxford ELAT paper of a high standard. trailer <<397583D06D7C489FAE70217B7DD1F806>]/Prev 704520/XRefStm 1900>> startxref 0 %%EOF 10964 0 obj <>stream 0000000016 00000 n Available contextual information on candidates is also considered at this stage.

While there is no requirement that candidates will have read any literature in the language(s), successful candidates will demonstrate an aptitude and commitment to the study of literature by evidence of their readiness to discuss their reading in English or in the relevant language(s) or by their response to a reading-passage at interview. As a result of revised BMAT scores and fee status queries received after shortlisting had been completed, 3 candidates were added to the shortlist. 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. This year, after first college interviews, 51 candidates had additional interviews at a second college, to give them the best chance of receiving an offer. Decisions are deemed to be official at the end of the Groups final meeting and the shortlisted applications are assigned a final overall grade. However, this may also reflect a return to more normal school conditions compared to those during the pandemic. These systems worked well.

Applications are assessed against our criteria for selection, details of which arepublished on the Faculty website. Ten candidates who applied to Merton were ultimately offered a place at Oxford a success rate of 16%, compared to a success rate of 11% across Oxford reflecting the high standard of applications to Merton.

After initial shortlisting, two candidates who had applied to Merton were reallocated to different colleges for interview, to ensure that each college had approximately the same number of candidates per place, and hence that an applicants chance of obtaining a place was as far as possible independent of the college handling the application. There was an opportunity for candidates to ask questions at the end of the interview, although this did not form part of the formal assessment process. In the end, six candidates were offered a college place at Merton for the academic year 2023-24, and one candidate was made an open offer. All applicants are expected to sit the Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT), or must seek permission in exceptional circumstances from the subject Admissions Coordinator to be exempted from the test.

For the Management interview, candidates were set a brief pre-interview reading from a broadsheet that assessed interest in Management and the ability to identify and discuss issues from a general management perspective. After shortlisting, the Degree's Admissions Co-ordinator ran a reallocation exercise across all colleges to ensure that candidates were not disadvantaged by applying to a specific college. The offers include 15 offers made for Physics and Philosophy. Merton received 630 applicationsin this admissions round. As part of this assessment, performance at GCSE and equivalent or other qualifications that had already been attained were evaluated, plus school type and the various measures and indicators on the UCAS forms were taken into account.

In addition to their Classics interview, candidates for the joint school were also interviewed in their chosen Modern Language. The number of applicants called for interview is usually fixed at around 425, in other words about 2.5 applicants per place available. Colleges were able to nominate up to two of their first-choice applicants per available place for interview and then a Faculty Selection Committee identified further candidates to be reallocated to colleges. Decisions are deemed to be official at the end of the final meeting. The assessment of candidates at the pre-interview stage is based on the following six criteria: It is important to note that weakness in one of these areas may be compensated by exceptional strength elsewhere, as well as by extenuating circumstances (medical conditions, recent bereavements, etc.). Other (including unknown): 37 (18%), The gender breakdown of those given offers is as follows: Of all 1633 applicants, 1033 (63.3%) were classified as UK applicants (69.1% in 2021), 120 (7.3%) were classified as EU but not UK (7.3% in 2021), and 480 (29.4%) were classified as non-EU (23.6% in 2021). As with December 2021, the principal determinant for shortlisting this year was the C-score, which pre-interview equals the PAT mark. Contextual data is additional information about the background of an applicant, which helps decision-making for all UK-domiciled applicants educated in the UK secondary system, using available information from the government and is disseminated to colleges and departments. The acceptances generally indicate the number of offer holders who accepted the offer and fulfilled its conditions. On the basis of this final ranking, candidates were provisionally assigned offers at a particular college, with the college the applicant had chosen (or had been allocated to) having first refusal. 0000002507 00000 n All shortlisted applicants were invited for interview in mid-December. 20.1% of eligible applicants submitted an open application, meaning they did not specify a college of preference on their application and were allocated one. All candidates summoned for interview received two interviews by their first choice college. Candidates were not expected to have studied either subject at A-level, but to have a good general knowledge, and to demonstrate interest in and enthusiasm for studying both business and the economy, to demonstrate logic and critical thinking, and to communicate clearly and effectively. LNAT essays are marked college-blind by a pool of markers drawn from all colleges to ensure consistency. This was the Languages and Literature interview outlined above. Each applicant was interviewed by two colleges: the college of preference, or allocation if an open application was made, and one other randomly assigned by computer so as to equalise as far as possible the strength of the applicant field at each college (as measured by the numerical ranking produced by the shortlisting algorithm). In addition to their History interviews, candidates in the Joint Schools also received an interview in their other chosen subject. The acceptance rate, or offer rate, represents the fraction of applicants who received an offer.

In the 2022-23 admissions round the estimated competition for places across Oxford was 4.75:1. The 45 applicants who successfully registered for the test but were unable to sit it due to unexpected circumstances beyond their control were considered on the basis of their UCAS form. Candidates were selected usingstandard selection criteria. Of the 371 female applicants, 77 were shortlisted and invited to interview, comprising 22.1% of the total shortlisted applicants. All candidates are assessed on a broad range of criteria. Colleges with a lower ratio than the average will be asked to receive candidates. Law aims to interview around 2 candidates for every place available. 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. Candidates who have submitted incomplete work or the wrong file may withdraw The mean BMAT score was 53.3%, which rose to 65.7% for those shortlisted and 68.3% for applicants. Interviews took place on Teams in the second week of December. In 2022, Oxford Physics received a total of 1633 applicants for places in Physics or Physics and Philosophy, a decrease of 152 (8.5%) on the 2021 figures. United Kingdom, 2018- After second interviews have taken place, colleges make their final decisions, based on all information available for each candidate at this stage. Scores will be sent to applicants via email by the Department of Computer Science in January, shortly after colleges have communicated application outcomes. Merton Street We were interested in ascertaining how candidates engaged with and thought about the literary texts, rather than in testing factual recall. There were 114 places available for 2023 entry to the course, meaning there were 6.5 applications per available place. 4 withdrew from the application process before shortlisting.

The marks achieved by applicants who sat the main PAT test ranged from 3% to 97%, with a mean mark of 51.2% (43.1% in 2021 and 49.5% in 2020) and a standard deviation of 16.9% (17.7% in 2021, 15.9% in 2020). Prior to the interviews, we held an online pre-interview meeting to allow the applicants to see who would be interviewing them, to explain the interview process, and to answer any questions. It is one consequence of that process that some candidates may receive an offer of a place from another college instead of their first-choice college. Interviews are academic and subject-focused in nature. There were818female and1046male applicants. Colleges may make offers conditional on theOpportunity Oxfordbridging programme to eligible students who would not otherwise have been admitted. Candidates were selected usingstandard selection criteria for Classics(and for Modern Languages in the case of Joint School applicants). After shortlisting, 343 applicants were invited to interview and after interview, 128 applicants received an offer for 2023 course entry. Reallocation: 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. However, do be aware that not having A-level Biology is associated with a greater risk of having difficulty at the early stages of the course (and other medical courses). The annual admissions report is a highly valuable tool in guiding the work of the Admissions Committee and our Outreach team. For this short-listing, we used the results of the Physics Aptitude Test (PAT) as well as all othercontextual informationto reduce the number of applicants to around 2.5 per place. This passage then formed the basis for a discussion: we were assessing what candidates found interesting about the passage, how critically they were able to read it, and to what extent we could develop ideas about the text which might be of historical interest. College tutors review the UCAS forms and any other information relevant to individual applications, and in light of all information enter their provisional shortlisting decisions in the web-based admissions database. Candidates who display one or more of the above shortcomings may nonetheless be invited for interview if the paper application reveals a clear justification for, or explanation of, the shortcomings and clear alternative evidence of the candidates potential. Final decisions were made after we had carefully taken into account all the information available to us, not just interview performance. Standard conditions apply to those taking A-levels, the International Baccalaureate or Scottish Highers; for other applicants, tutors will seek advice from the subject coordinator or the colleges admissions tutor in determining a comparable set of conditions.
