[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.

[b]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[/b]. [/quote]

PP you are referring to. Yes, this is exactly what I was advising and why.[/quote]
