[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, admissions tutors for Oxford do actively try not to offer to US applicants. UK applicants will ALWAYS take the place if they get the grades, US applicants are less reliable.[/quote]

I am sure this is true of at least some Oxbridge tutors.

Also, UCAS does not allow one to apply both to Oxford and also to Cambridge. UCAS allows only one application to either Oxford xor Cambridge. [b]This is partly why a UK Oxbridge offer is nearly always accepted[/b]. [/quote]

It has zero baring on acceptances. It has always been the case, since 1065[/quote]

And yet, current tutors involved in admissions (as quoted from Reddit above) report that they are reluctant to give offers to international applicants, esp. Americans, bc it is likely those Americans will go to HYP and leave their college with an unfilled seat.  In that case, the college is forced to accept a student who was given an open offer at a different college -- somebody they did not vet -- which they are not happy to do.  So yes, potential yeild does matter to tutors today.  I do not claim that has been the case since 1065.[/quote]
