<p>Does anyone have statistics on the acceptance of U.S. applicants by Oxford or Cambridge for undergraduate work?</p>
<p>Best I can give you…</p>

<p>The United States is the largest source of international students at Oxford University. In 2006, 26% of students admitted were from North America.</p>
<p>I suggest that you look on Oxford’s website and go to your course of interest. There you should fine the percentages of international students admitted to your particular field. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>But thats for graduate study. As for undergrad, not so much… a handful per college, at most, I suspect</p>
<p>Exactlty! There are about 800 American graduate students at Oxford, but very very few undergraduates. 2-3 per college maybe (and no doubt zero at some colleges). As far as I’m aware the university does not publish the statistic you request (which is why I haven’t replied to this thread before). There is a mass of admission stats for Oxford here</p>

<p>I would assume the chances for a US student are the same as those for any other. About 1 in 5 overall, but more of less depending on the subject applied for (that’s crucial really).</p>
<p>Canbridge definitely has fewer Americans, but I would guess this is because Cambridge has more scientists and fewer US students appear to want to study science subjects (my own theory here. no evidence).</p>
