[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard from an Oxford admissions person that they actively try not to offer to US students exactly because they have Ivy options they often prefer and that leaves a gap in the acceptance matrix.

We are in the UK and my DD applied to Oxford for 2025 entry (she is not there) so I investigated this thoroughly last year.

Whatever happens, do not mention the ED application or other applications to US colleges in the interview. Though I suspect you'd guessed that already.[/quote]

Shouldn't ED binding just limited to schools in the US?[/quote]
Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you are attempting to ask (there’s at least one word missing in your post), but no, when you agree to ED to a school, you agree to go there even if you later get into Oxford. It’s a binding agreement no matter where else you are applying US or abroad.

But the pp was advising not to tell Oxford interviewers about the ED application because it makes the student a less serious applicant and more likely that Oxford would not admit them. [/quote]

I thought the exception was that you could reject for financial reasons since you don't know what package they will give you?[/quote]
