Question by Sarah: What is an estimate of the competition for Oxford's biological sciences program?

I realize that the programs are incredibly small in each individual college (Usually less than ten people), but how many students typically apply to Oxford's biological sciences program to begin with? And what is the typical acceptance rate for Overseas students (The U.S. in particular?)\\

Thanks for the help!

Oxford has many students coming from all over the world, it's hard to say how many from America, but I can say for sure there will be more then just you.

As you mentioned, many of the courses offered have little students in each college, so it does means that competition will be high.

Here is the course list:
