Oxford acceptanace rate stands at 17% making it relatively more accessible. However, its essential to consider that acceptance rates alone may not fully reflect the difficulty lecels of the admission process, it also involves various factors such as academic achievements, SOP's, Resumes, LOR's and many more.
