Open Application

The purpose of allowing open applications is to permit candidates who do not have a strong preference for a particular college to be allocated a college on the basis of the number of places available at each college. The college allocated then becomes responsible for overseeing the application and communicating with the candidate.

College Reallocation

A key aim of the admissions procedure for Oxford Psychology is that an applicant’s chance of obtaining a place should as far as possible be independent of the college handling the application, whether the candidate applied to a particular college or made an open application.  To assist with this, candidates may be reallocated from the college initially handling their application to another college where the ratio of applicants to places is lower, so as to ensure that this ratio is as constant as possible across the University.

Reallocation occurs after the short list of candidates for interview has been drawn up.  You may, therefore, be invited to interview at a different college from that which initially handled your application.  All your application materials will automatically be transferred to the new college, and there is no need to send anything further unless the new college specifically requests you to do so.

Candidates for reallocation are selected at random, and are treated in exactly the same way at interview as other candidates.
