What is required to apply?

Personal Statement

A personal statement is a short essay of approximately 500 words to help us get to know your child. Have them tell us about why they would like to attend, what interests them about the Major and Minor/Workshop courses, and what they will contribute to the study abroad program. Let us know about their academic and extracurricular activities or interests and anything else that will help us to get to know them. We additionally request students provide their current, unweighted grade point average (GPA) as part of their personal statement.

Teacher Reference

All applicants are asked to submit the name and contact details of a teacher or counselor who can speak knowledgeably about them. For students applying for language immersion courses in France or Spain, we ask that they provide the information for their language teacher.

For Immersion Courses Only—Language Writing Sample and Teacher Recommendation Form

For students electing language immersion courses in France or Spain, an additional 500-word statement in French or Spanish is additionally required. This statement should outline their interest in furthering their language skills and what they hope to gain from their Oxbridge experience.
The Teacher Recommendation form can be accessed via the student portal and should be completed by the student’s French or Spanish teacher. It asks the teacher to estimate the student’s language level.

Deposit

Applications require a deposit of $500 US to be marked as complete. This is deducted from the total tuition upon acceptance and is refunded in full if the student is not accepted.

Admission Department Review

Our Oxbridge Office of Admissions carefully reviews each completed application and contacts students in the order in which they've applied. Admissions decisions are typically sent by email no longer than three weeks following receipt of a completed application, and students who are conditionally admitted are required to provide the following information within two weeks:

Transcript: A copy of the most recent transcript or grade report from school (in English) should be uploaded in PDF format to the applicant’s student portal at www.myoxbridgeexperience.com.
Course Selections: Students should preference their top three Major and Minor/Workshop courses, as applicable, in their student portal. Please note that some courses are subject to additional Materials Fees—please reference our complete course listings for information about all courses and any applicable Materials Fees.
