Oxford - Admission Trends!

Hi Everyone, Here is our analysis of admission trends and acceptance chances at Oxford based on our accumulated forum data of applicants. We have analysed our forum data of Oxford applicants from 2012 to 2016 to determine acceptance chances by GMAT score, admission rounds, industry, age, country, etc.

The data used for this analysis is self-reported, so it's advised to use the findings with discretion. They are meant to give only a general idea of admission scenario at Oxford; Don't presume that these findings will hold true all the time.

We would welcome any comments, opinions, suggestions or anything else that you might have to say about the findings of this analysis.

YOY Acceptance Rate and Avg GMAT of Applicants

Sample Size: 581 Applicants

Acceptance Rate by GMAT Score

As anticipated, admission rate of Oxford is much higher than that of LBS, UK's top business school. If you score 720 or above on the GMAT, your acceptance chances reach up to 60%.
Narrow gap between lines showing interview invites and acceptance indicate that Oxford is selective in sending interview invites, and one can have better chance of acceptance after interview. This may seem obvious but we have seen certain schools who are very generous in inviting candidates for interview, but selective in making final decisions. (See Tuck, Columbia, Fuqua)
Acceptance rate of Oxford applicants after interview is close to 76%.

Sample Size: 242 Applicants

Acceptance Rate by Admission Round

Sample Size: 428 Applicants

Acceptance Rates of Applicants in Different Age Groups

Sample Size: 171 Applicants

Acceptance rates of applicants from various industries

The first chart - line chart - shows acceptance rates of applicants from various industries and the pie chart next to it shows industry-wise allocation of applicants.

Sample Size: 226 Applicants

Acceptance Rates of Applicants from Various Regions

Sample Size: 203 Applicants

As I said earlier, we welcome your views, counter-views, suggestions, etc on the analysis. Thank you!

Hello Narenn,

I'm an Indian applicant to Said this year Round 1 (Sep-29). I'm in the final stages of my app and today I saw these stats of Said Acceptance rates in each round. I needed an advice regarding this.

I see that the acceptance rate is 19% among 450 applicants in Round-1 (around 90 accepted) whereas its approx 50% among 150 applicants in Round-2 (75 accepted). So should I postpone my application for Round-2?

Please suggest. Also, since this thread is last year's and members are already Oxford students now, so please suggest what should I do.

Thanks for reading.
