牛津大学的申请者从2008年的13388名猛升至今年的15000多名,增幅超过10%。该学校的发言人称本国和海外申请者的数量都有所增加,然而该校每年只能提供约3000个入学名额。

英国另一所精英学府,剑桥大学的申请者数量也从去年的14498增加到了15679。相反，入学名额却从4066减少到了4016.该校鼓励辍学者及来自贫困家庭的学生申请, 这一政策可能是造成申请人数增长的原因之一。

剑桥大学今年的申请条件也有所调整，申请者申请该校各学院将无须单独填写申请表,同时申请者也不再被要求参加语言类GCSE考试。

More than 12,000 applicants rejected after record surge in A-level results

Oxford and Cambridge experienced a large surge in applications for places, meaning that more than 12,000 students with three predicted top-grade passes have been left disappointed.

The number of applications to Oxford has soared by more than 10 per cent from 13,388 in 2008 to more than 15,000. A spokeswoman said that home and overseas applications had increased. It had only made about 3,000 offers.

At Cambridge, applications have risen from 14,498 to 15,679, while the number of offers made has been cut from 4,066 to 4,016. The university said that attempts to widen participation and encourage more school leavers from disadvantaged homes to apply to elite universities was one reason for the increase in applications.

The university has remodelled its admissions system this year, scrapping the process of applying to individual colleges through separate application forms and the requirement for every candidate to have a languages GCSE.
