Oxford and Cambridge: what happened after the application?
An offer is only part of the story. We have Oxford or Cambridge figures for all 19 schools: 19 have application-round figures and 18 have lists of where leavers went. Start with the newest figures below, then follow the years back.

Who publishes what
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.

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.

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.
