Question

Requirements to be offered admission into oxford?

Answer 1

Undergraduate Admission Requirements:

A-levels

Conditional offers for A-level students are likely to be AAA. Providing that any specific subject requirements have been met, all A-levels are approved for admissions purposes, with the exception of General Studies. Oxford University does not require its candidates to disclose information on the unit grades that have been achieved through their AS and A2 studies, but a candidate may include this information within their UCAS application should they wish to do so. Any conditional offer would usually be made on the basis of final grades alone.

Vocational qualifications

Candidates with vocational qualifications equivalent to A-levels are welcome to apply although they may need to take additional academic qualifications to make a competitive application. For further information please refer to the vocational qualifications page.

Scottish qualifications

In general, we are looking for a level of performance around grade AAAAB or AAAAA in Scottish Highers, usually supplemented by two or more Advanced Highers. Offers made to candidates on the basis of the Advanced Higher subjects are likely to be set at AA for two subjects, and AAB for three subjects. Applicants with Scottish Highers but no Advanced Highers are advised to get in touch with the Tutor for Admissions at their likely college of preference to discuss their application.

Welsh qualifications

The minimum entry requirement for students studying the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification Advanced Diploma, will be two A grades at A-level alongside the Core Certificate at Level 3. Some colleges may require candidates to take three A-levels in addition to the Core Certificate.

Irish qualifications

Conditional offers for students of the Irish Leaving Certificate would probably be for Higher or Honour grades of at least AAAABB.

International Baccalaureate

Students of the International Baccalaureate would probably be required to achieve a level of performance of 38-40 points, including core points, with 6s or 7s in the higher subjects.

US qualifications

Successful candidates would typically have an excellent High School record supplemented by SAT 1 scores of at least 1400 in Critical Reading and Mathematics and preferably also 700 or more in the new Writing Paper, giving a combined score of at least 2100, or ACT with a score of at least 32 out of 36. We would also expect Grades 4 or 5 in two or more Advanced Placement tests in appropriate subjects or SAT II in a good spread of three or four subjects at 700 or better.

English language requirements

Candidates who are not native English speakers and who have not been educated in the medium of English language during their two most recent years of study must satisfy our English language requirements.

Postgraduate Admission Requirements:

The normal minimum qualification to be eligible for admission as a graduate student at Oxford is the completion of a Bachelor's degree with a first or upper second class honours or the international equivalent (see www.naric.org.uk for advice on how international degrees compare). However, previous academic excellence is key and students who are accepted for graduate study at Oxford tend to have been those who achieved the very highest results of their graduating class.

Specific entry requirements for your programme are detailed in the relevant subject sections of the prospectus or, of course, you may contact the department directly.

Not all programmes will require a first degree in the same subject area and there are some courses, in particular some of those offered by the Department of Continuing Education, which will take relevant experience or alternative backgrounds into consideration.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

What country are you in?

Go to their website and click on the links for "international students" - there's masses of info there, including the minimum grades from just about every country in the world.

But be aware that it's massively oversubscribed. Having the requirements isn't even close to guaranteeing you a place. Let's put it this way: unless your school is academically selective, are you the top student in your year by some way? If not, you probably won't get in.

Also be aware that they don't care how rich you are, or how much community service you've done. They want exceptionally bright students who want to learn.

Edit: oh, and also note that the deadline on undergraduate applications is MUCH earlier than for other universities. I think it's the end of October, for admission the following autumn.

The whole procedure is as opaque as entry into the Masonic order. You just have to try and see.
