St Catherine’s College does not offer detailed individual feedback to applicants.

It should be noted that the Oxford undergraduate admissions process is extremely competitive. As the number of applications increases year-on-year the number of places available remains limited, and so increasing numbers of applicants face disappointment. Tutors have to make very difficult decisions between extremely able candidates who are qualified or predicted to be qualified well above the entry requirements. This means that even candidates of very high ability may not be successful.

Most Departments produce summary documents containing performance statistics for the applicant cohort for their course(s) to help applicants and referees gain an insight into the shortlisting and selection processes, and to provide some context for decisions; links to these documents, where available, are listed below. You may also find it useful to refer to the selection criteria published on the Oxford undergraduate admissions website.

Please note: this section is regularly updated as documents are published – check back regularly if your subject document is not linked below.
