MCS Oxford: named universities and courses, 2025
Applications, offers, acceptances and actual destinations are different things, so each keeps its own table. Each row links to its record and source.
6 records in 4 tables.
We don’t add tables together: publications can overlap. A university named without a count may mean one pupil or many. A dash means no figure.

Notes on this table (1)
- What it counts: UCAS apply-centre 12528; Magdalen College School, Oxford; 2025 Cambridge cycle applicants, not the school leaver cohort Where it’s from: Checked against the university’s original PDF and selected table pages. Worth knowing: Original printed token: 17. The original page 1 footnote states that raw figures less than 5 are reported as 5, except zeros remain 0. A printed 5 therefore represents 1–5; it must not become an exact count. Original PDF downloaded from the university website; table headers and all nineteen selected school rows checked in the text layer and rendered pages. School identity checked by UCAS apply-centre code, printed name and postcode. How the source defines it: University-published acceptances by named apply centre and cycle. The table is not a destination register or an admissions probability. University original PDF and selected rendered table pages checked

Notes on this table (3)
Every row: Where it’s from: Original publication
- Worth knowing: The report separately states starts and next-year deferred places. Do not infer missing categories or force these figures to exhaust the year group. How the source defines it: Upper Sixth cohort, same-autumn starts and following-year deferrals
- Worth knowing: Application-entry-year population may include previous leavers; no denominator is inferred from current Upper Sixth starters. How the source defines it: Share of pupils applying for autumn 2025 entry who gained first-choice university places
- Worth knowing: Population is not expressly confined to same-year Upper Sixth starters. Some totals exceed that subgroup; no rate is derived. How the source defines it: Total final places at Russell Group universities as printed
