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.
The deadline for requesting feedback on your Oxford application has now closed.
If you requested feedback prior to the 16th February, your request is being dealt with. Feedback will generally be provided within twenty working days of receipt of the request. Update: requests for feedback that were received prior to the deadline have now been responded to.
To find out details about your subject in this year's admissions cycle, please read the subject admissions summary report, detailed below. You may also find the central university feedback page useful. Information on appeals is also available. Details of how we use contextual data in our decision making is also available.
