An application round follows applications, offers and acceptances. The leavers’ list tells us where pupils went, according to their school. The two sources may cover different pupils. “Oxford and Cambridge together” marks a list that gives one count for the two universities.

Oxford and Cambridge combined: 2025 cycle

Calculated from each university’s counts for the same application cycle: offers ÷ applications. These are applications from the school, not the share of its pupils going to Oxbridge.

Each input is counted once. Where a university conceals a small count or the records disagree, the affected total and rate are left uncalculated. Rates are rounded to one decimal place.

The Spectator’s 80-school table for the 2025 application cycle gives the wider published comparison, with its source and limitations.

Cambridge admissions

2025–2026

Cambridge offers and acceptances, school by school

How many pupils applied, and how many received an offer? These are the latest Cambridge admissions figures we have for each school. A dash means we don’t have that figure, rather than that nobody reached that stage. Select a count to see its source.

Where a source says “accepted or admitted”, we keep that broader wording: it does not tell us how many pupils enrolled. If two publications give different counts for the same stage, both remain visible.

An admissions essay

Oxford said no. Cambridge said yes.

Two rejections from Oxford, an offer from Cambridge, and a file of letters that can’t quite agree who the applicant was.

Oxford offer rates

2006–2025

Compare Oxford offer rates over the same years

We can compare Oxford offer rates for these 7 schools: Eton, KCS Wimbledon, SPGS, St Paul’s, Westminster, Winchester and Wycombe Abbey. Any two of them share 20 years. We calculate each rate as offers ÷ applications.

15 more pairs among these schools: choose any two in Compare.

Offer, acceptance or place?

Some pupils miss the conditions of an offer; others choose somewhere else. A destination tells us where a leaver actually went. Keep those steps separate: adding offers to places would count some pupils twice. Missing years and overlapping publications also make a school ranking misleading.
