Admissions Report: 2^nd BA and Visiting Students 2002

We had increased the quota for 2^nd BA and Visiting Students from last year (when we took no 2^nd BAs and two Visiting Students) in line with the general expansion of the College. The intention was to take two 2^nd BAs and four Visiting Students this year, with a view to increasing the number of Visiting Students up to seven in future years. In the end, we have offered places to three 2^nd BAs (including one Rhodes Scholar) and four Visiting Students (including one on the Columbia Programme).

2^nd BA:

Applications: 8 1^st choice, 13 2^nd/lower choice; 10 M, 11 F.

Seven of these arrived after we had filled our quota and were not considered. Of the remaining fourteen, seven were considered worthy of a place and two offers were made (2 F).

[2001 – nine applications, although that figure was unusually low; no offers].
