Why Admissions Statistics Matter
Admissions data is one of the most misunderstood parts of the Oxbridge application process. Headline numbers like “single-digit offer rates for Economics & Management” can be paralysing. But when you look more carefully, the picture is far more nuanced.
This page collates official admissions reports and published university disclosures into one cited reference. Every figure links to its primary source, so you can see for yourself which subjects are genuinely the most competitive, how college choice affects your odds, and where the real bottleneck in the process is.
How to Read These Numbers
Offer rates are not your odds
A 15% offer rate does not mean you have a 15% chance. The pool includes many underprepared applicants. A well-prepared student with strong grades, a good test score, and genuine subject engagement has significantly better odds.
College choice matters
Some colleges receive far fewer applications for the same subject. The pooling system helps balance this, but your initial college choice does affect who interviews you and how many candidates you are compared against.
Trends change year to year
A subject that was highly competitive last year may see fewer applications this year. Do not base your decision on a single year of data. Look at 3 to 5 year trends where available.
The bottleneck varies by subject
For Medicine, the admissions test is the main filter. For English, the interview carries more weight. For Engineering, the ESAT and interview are both critical. Understanding this tells you exactly where to invest your preparation time.

College figures (Table 5.2) are published as separate Men/Women counts; college values in this dataset are the sum of the two published counts (applicants of other gender identities appear only in university-level totals: 22,513 total applications vs 22,223 men+women). Previous-cycle (2024) figures are printed in the same report's summary.

College-level tables are UK-domiciled three-year aggregates 2023-2025: college values here are the sum of published Female+Male counts from Table 5.3 (excludes the ~3% of 2024-25 applicants who selected 'I use another term'/'I prefer not to say'; those appear only in university totals). Table 4.3 (state/independent by college) used as cross-check. Country rows (Table 1.4) publish applications and students admitted only (no offers), as three-year totals 2023-2025.

FOI publication-scheme workbook, 2021/22 cycle (2021 entry). 'Undergraduate' level row: 26,184 applications, 3,204 offers, 1,775 registrations. Registrations (enrolled students) used as 'admitted'.

UCL Undergraduate application data 2025/26
OfficialUniversity College London
Applications, offers and places per department/programme grouped by faculty, 2025/26 admissions year; excludes Clearing. UCL does not print a university total in this document: the university-level values in this dataset are the sum of the 11 published faculty 'Total' rows (9,002+3,025+4,678+22,576+4,829+4,552+7,754+15,427+4,036+1,692+11,668 applications; corresponding offers columns). 'Places' in the PDF are intake places, not confirmed acceptances, so no 'admitted' value is reported.

Methodology
- Oxford applicants-per-place figures are taken verbatim from each subject’s official admissions report, most as three-year averages.
- Cambridge applications and offers are from the official annual Undergraduate Admissions Statistics report. Offer rate is derived from offers divided by applications in the same row, and labelled as such.
- Imperial publishes no single annual report; its per-course figures come from the university’s official transparency data (the undergraduate applications, offers and admissions workbook). Anything we cannot verify against a published source is left out.
- College tables use each university’s published basis and say so in the hover citation: Oxford college rows are three-year aggregates of UK-domiciled applicants (Annual Statistical Report); Cambridge college rows cover all applicants in the 2025 cycle. School-type shares likewise follow each university’s published basis, so the two are not directly comparable.
- We never estimate a number. Anything that cannot be traced to a source is omitted.
Strategic Advantage
How We Use This Data
At Oxbridge Mentors, we go beyond the published headline figures, working with admissions data broken down by college, course and admissions-test score. For international applicants in particular, this granular analysis is essential to building a competitive strategy, as application patterns and success rates vary by nationality and college.
