As in 2021, we used a contextualised measure of BMAT performance in the first stage of our shortlisting process in the 2022 admissions round. In 2022 we received 1,713 UCAS applications (1,864 in 2021). Colleges assign candidates up to three interview scores. document.write(new Date().getFullYear()); The cGCSE score was based on the ability to compare GCSE results between applicants from schools that are contextually similar. At Merton (as at many other colleges) one of these interviews was with a pair of ancient historians and the other was with a pair of archaeologists. Each application was graded against agreed descriptors. 36 international fee-status applicants were shortlisted. After serving in the military for 10 years, one would assume Cody Glaser had seen and experienced a lot. 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. They are sent to the college where they will have the best theoretical chance of success, based on where they will be ranked highest within the existing cohort of the college. They take into account all information from the UCAS form and any relevant contextual information such as educational background, socio-economic background, or extenuating circumstances. 718applicants were shortlisted and265were offered places. Each shortlisted applicant is also randomly assigned a second college by an algorithm aiming to equalise across colleges the interview load per place ratio. To guide admitting tutors, an overall ranking was produced based on the post-interview C-score: Post-Interview C-score = (PAT mark out of 100) + 2 x (Interviews out of 100). 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. 29.9% of applicants were female (29.3%) and 22.9% of those offered a place are female (28.3%). Candidates applying for Classics Course II also had a short central interview (15 minutes) at the Classics Faculty with members of the Facultys language teaching team, where questions were asked based partly on their Language Aptitude Tests. This included 10 Open Offers, where a place is guaranteed if the offer conditions are achieved but the college place will be allocated before the course commences. Table 1: Number of applicants, shortlisted applicants, and offers made, by course applied for. During the interview, candidates and interviewers used a shared electronic whiteboard (Miro) to exchange visual information (e.g. 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. The Chemistry Department operates various procedures in a coordinated effort to ensure that the strongest applicants are admitted to the University irrespective of College choice. After disclosure of the candidate rank from the second college, BMAT score and BMAT essays, colleges reviewed their ranking and submitted a final version. Where we had received information pertaining to BMAT via the CAAT special considerations process, it was noted at the appropriate stage of shortlisting. Interviews were academic in nature. One notable trend with the PAT continued this year: of the top 100 applicants by PAT mark, only around a quarter of these had all their secondary schooling within the UK educational system (either state or independent sectors). 21.5% of applicants submitted an open application. Law aims to interview around 2 candidates for every place available. Candidates were asked to summarise the prose extract, and then discuss some of the critical issues within the text. Merton College While the majority of accepted applicants have three good interviews (at least as viewed by the interviewers), 62 accepted applicants had one interview which scored less than a 7, while 14 accepted applicants had one interview which scored below 6. 0000017965 00000 n 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. Test scores are not made available to candidates automatically but can be provided by the College on request. Interviews are academic in nature. 0000014577 00000 n Therefore, in accordance with University guidance, we use a range of contextual data to help us to better understand students achievements in the context of their individual background. WebAdmissions Report 2021 Law Faculty Overall picture 1899 applications were received for approximately 232 undergraduate degrees this year (excluding senior status 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. There were a significant number of declared special circumstances, medical certificates or letters drawing attention to adversities in applicants personal lives that may have affected performance or ability to participate in the test. The offers include 15 offers made for Physics and Philosophy. A small number of applicants for joint honours degreeswere offered places for single honours courses. those who showed the most potential as a whole were selected and offered a place. After the first interviews the CAAH tutors from all colleges which admit for the subject met to compare the entire field, and candidates were ranked on the basis of interview performance, written work and their UCAS application. We stress that all of these elements in combination form the basis of our difficult decisions, and that underperformance or an excessively good performance at interview is not on its own a decisive factor in them.

Congratulations! What you need to do next: Law tutors worked together across Oxford to ensure the strongest candidates in the cohort as a whole were admitted into individual colleges. A small number of candidates were unable to take the BMAT due to extenuating circumstances about which we were informed via the CAAT special considerations process. 1 graduate applicant received an offer of a place (graduates compete with school-leavers for places; there is no separate quota). dptZ.= ex{b` In light of further information a college may reverse the default shortlisting decision, making known the reasons for their decision to the Admissions Coordinator. Most applicants sat it in their school or in another registered test centre, with a small number sitting the test via remote invigilation. Details relating to the MAT, including several past and specimen papers, can be found at:www.maths.ox.ac.uk/study-here/undergraduate-study/maths-admissions-test. The application college also assessed all applications to their college and made recommendations. The Admissions Group operates various procedures in a coordinated effort to ensure that the strongest applicants are admitted to the University irrespective of college choice; these include transparency of all test results, interview grades, and UCAS forms amongst all tutors involved with admissions, and a final meeting of tutors at which the strongest unplaced applicants are collectively discussed and open offers are made by the Admissions Group. To ensure that the strongest applicants obtain places, all colleges have access to information on all applicants through a central database, and colleges are actively encouraged to flag up strong applicants they will be unable to offer a place to themselves. After shortlisting takes place, if an individual college has an unusually high number of shortlisted applicants per place, that college must reallocate a proportion of those applicants to a college with fewer shortlisted applicants per place (assuming that there exists such a college which is willing to receive the shortlisted applicants). They are intended to inform those planning applications in the future and also to provide to unsuccessful candidates, their referees, schools and families with an indication as to the most likely reasons they were not selected in this round. Most applicants were given interviews by at least two different colleges (their first- and second-assigned colleges). A key goal of the Oxford admissions process is that the probability of admission should not depend on the applicant's choice of college. 0000008514 00000 n It is Faculty policy for shortlisted applicants receive two interviews, each around twenty minutes in length; often these will be arranged to allow candidates to demonstrate different skills. WebThe annual admissions report is a very valuable tool in guiding the work of the Admissions Committee and our Outreach team. Contextual datawere used to assess whether an applicants BMAT score likely reflected an under- or over-performance within the context of the candidates socio-economic and school environment. Once shortlisting is complete, the Faculty operates a procedure of reallocation between colleges, moving some candidates to colleges other than the one to which they originally applied. In all colleges, therefore, candidates at interview will have the same chance of being offered a place. These were taken into account in making shortlisting and offer decisions. For those shortlisted the mean adjusted BMAT score was 65.7% (65.8% in 2021). After colleges have entered their first interview scores and decisions candidates are ranked according to a post-first interviews score which is based on interview scores, TSA scores, and contextualised GCSE information where available. 0000015023 00000 n ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT 12 were invited to interview, and were invited to sit a short MAT-like paper via remote invigilation prior to their interviews. There was an increase in applications this year, which meant that some applicants who might have been shortlisted in previous years were not shortlisted this year. The test is set to a defined syllabus and both the content and draft questions are checked by school teachers to ensure that the level is appropriate. Most candidates were reasonably well-prepared for the interviews, and were able to discuss both Management and Economics topics knowledgeably and fluently. 0000002561 00000 n A further 5 deferred offers were made for entry into Physics in 2024. This compares with 41% in 2021. All interviews this year were undertaken online. They were also asked to make some salient observations about the music extracts (though they were not expected to recognise the piece or the composer). Shortlisting decisions were based on the History Aptitude Test (HAT) results, taking into account other information provided and, where candidates had studied for GCSEs, GCSE scores contextualised against those awarded to other candidates at the same school in the same year. The Mark Scheme (for schoolwork and interviews) is as follows: All decisions to offer places to ML candidates (Joint School included) were confirmed at the ML Admissions Final Decisions meeting on Friday 16th December 2022. Oxford 3For applicants taking six or more GCSEs. Interviews at 1st college: all candidates received two independent interviews of 20 to 25 minutes with separate pairs of interviewers at their first-choice college; at least one of the four interviewers had to be a historian and at least one an archaeologist. Scores will be sent to applicants via email by the Department of Computer Science in January, shortly after colleges have communicated application outcomes. 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. As a result of revised BMAT scores and fee status queries received after shortlisting had been completed, 3 candidates were added to the shortlist. Assessors will look for evidence of intellectual curiosity and critical engagement. Before the submission deadline. The 281 applicants with PAT scores equal or higher than 68% were automatically shortlisted for interview, with a further 26 applicants with slightly lower scores also automatically shortlisted after the inclusion of contextual data, giving a total of 307 automatically shortlisted applicants (298 in 2021 and 400 in 2020). All candidates are assessed on a broad range of criteria. endstream endobj startxref A small number of applicants were brought back into contention at the request of a College.

A further 58 candidates had their second-assigned colleges reallocated after the first interviews. Students shortlisted at Merton were interviewed on Teams. The target of three candidates for every place available meant that many good candidates were not shortlisted. 10941 24 The report For detailed FMML Selection and Interview Criteria see:https://www.mod- langs.ox.ac.uk/faqs#faq-12. Tutors are guided by a statistically validated score derived from the MAT and the applicants performance at GCSE relative to other students at their pre-16 school; they exercise discretion within thresholds determined for each degree subject by the subject coordinator. MAT scores are not released to applicants until the selection process has concluded and they have received their decision. United Kingdom, 2018- All shortlisted Merton candidates had two interviews in the college, one focusing on the Management aspect of the course and the other on the Economics aspect. Where an applicant for a joint honours degree has performed strongly in one of their subjects but will not be made an offer for the joint degree, tutors may consider offering them a place for a relevant single honours degree. Reallocation has been practised by the University for many years, assuring that all strong applicants have the same chance of obtaining places at Oxford, although possibly not at their first-choice college. Many interviews will focus on an unseen passage that a candidate receives shortly before the start of the interview. As part of the university-wide Common Framework for Admissions, introduced a few years ago, the Law Faculty shortlists candidates (college-blind) in consultation with a Faculty Selection Committee (FSC) consisting of representatives from 15 Colleges. This year, the automatic threshold was set at 68%. For the Ancient History interview, all candidates were given a short passage (in English) from an Ancient Historical source to read for 15 minutes in advance of the interview. %%EOF Selection process: Candidates could be recommended for de-summoning if their first-choice college believed beyond reasonable doubt that candidates are not qualified to undertake a course in Oxford on the basis of one or more of the following specific grounds: poor results in official examinations; poor results predicted for A level or other impending examinations; negative school report; poor quality of written work; failure to demonstrate an interest in, and commitment to Classical Archaeology and Ancient History. This year we received 2141 applications for 240 places, there were approximately 8.92 applications per available place. This year almost all interviews took place remotely by video call, often using a shared virtual whiteboard. Critical thinking and problem-solving:this can be shown in (for example) a candidates ability to adopt logical and critical approaches to problems, to critically assess arguments, to identify good and bad reasons for believing a particular claim, to assess relevance, and to think independently. In total 1015 (894 last year) applications were received in 2022 for Chemistry. In 2022 a total of 1584 UCAS applications were received across the three undergraduate Computer Science degrees, for entry in 2023 or deferred entry in 2024. Communication: willingness and ability to express ideas clearly and effectively both in writing and orally; ability to listen and to give considered responses. 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. 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. Other (including unknown): 37 (18%), The gender breakdown of those given offers is as follows: As in previous years the UCAS forms of all applicants were read and graded centrally, by the Biochemistry Department, prior to short-listing (we aim to shortlist approximately 3 applicants per place); all short-listed applicants were interviewed by two colleges (remotely this year); the applicants were ranked according to their UCAS and both interview grades; and the final decisions were made at a meeting of all College tutors. Male: 126 (61%). Merton received 630 applicationsin this admissions round. 25.4% of eligible applicants resided outside the UK; of these, 5.7% resided inside the EU and 19.7% outside the EU. College tutors seek advice from Admissions tutors or the Admissions Office in making other offers. Details of the test and several past papers and specimen papers with solutionscan be found online. All candidates still under consideration after the initial round of interviews were given a further Faculty-organised interview. Table 1 shows the breakdown by course applied for at each stage of the admissions process. The 2020 report highlights: an improvement in our The shortlisting criteriaare described on the course website as follows: We only interview those who have a realistic chance of getting in, when judged by past and predicted exam results, school reports, personal statements and the pre-interview test. 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. 0000019916 00000 n 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. 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. All recommendations were then taken to a meeting attended by representatives from all colleges that admit Biologists, and shortlisting decisions were discussed and agreed. Candidates may well be invited for a further interview at another college; as with pre-interview reallocation, this is to ensure that the best candidates gain places in the University regardless of the competition in particular colleges.
