The UCL acceptance rate of 36% is nearly twice that of Oxford University which has an acceptance rate of 17%.

Thus, it can be said that University College London is relatively easier to secure admissions at than Oxford.

However, both institutes are selective to a good extent, & interested applicants must maintain a solid academic record & resume demonstrating their non-academic capabilities to secure admissions at either institute.
