What information is given in response to feedback requests

Admission test scores

Admissions tests refer to the tests some courses set as part of the admissions process. A list of tests can be found here.

Written work scores

Written work refers to essays specifically requested as part of the application process for courses listed here. It does not refer to the personal statement you provided in your application. Written work is not always given a specific mark, and is instead considered holistically with the other parts of your application. In these cases, we will not be able to provide a mark. We are unable to provide qualitative feedback about your written work or advise about reapplication.

Interview scores

We will provide the scores for all interviews you undertook. We will not be able to provide qualitative feedback about your interview performance or advise about reapplication.

Confidentiality Guarantee

We can give the assurance that feedback will only be sent to the candidate so any requests for feedback must come directly from this source. Candidates should ensure that the response email address is the one used by them during the application process. Feedback will never be sent to any third party such as a school, a parent, or a referee without the written permission of the candidate. Candidates wishing to give permission for third party access to this information should email admissions@sjc.ox.ac.uk

Subject Reports

A number of departments/faculties publish admissions report on their websites, so we would encourage you to check the website of the relevant department directly to see if they have made their admissions report public.
