St Hilda's College
Thank you for applying to the University of Oxford. Every year the university receives thousands of applications for a limited number of places, and this year was equally as competitive. Unfortunately, this means that candidates with great applications have to be turned away.
We cannot offer feedback to those rejected before interview for almost all subjects, beyond what is provided below. However, initial shortlisting for Law, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is carried out centrally. For these subjects only, requests for feedback about any application that has not been shortlisted for interview should be addressed in the first instance to the Admissions Coordinator of the appropriate programme at the faculty/department (or for Law, please contact undergraduate.enquiries@law.ox.ac.uk).
Candidates who have been rejected after being interviewed for any subject can request additional feedback. Please note that individual comments are short and not always available. We are only able to provide feedback to first-choice St Hilda’s applicants.
Feedback will generally be provided within twenty working days of receipt of the request. However, requests for feedback received before 31 December will be treated as having been received on the day colleges and departments reopen after the New Year. Colleges will not normally provide feedback where the request is made after 15 February. We will open the feedback form in late December 2024, and it will be found at the bottom of this page. Please do not email us asking for feedback.
We aren't able to offer feedback to candidates who are successful in their application.
You may also find the central university feedback page useful. Information on appeals is also available.
