Admission to Oxford is particularly competitive. Mount Holyoke has an agreement with St. Anne’s College at Oxford to facilitate applications from our students. Oxford has a centralized application process through the Undergraduate Admission Office, and students may apply directly; however, students who wish to be considered for study at St. Anne’s through our agreement should apply through Mount Holyoke. We will review applications and forward them with our recommendation, if you meet the general requirements for Oxford (minimum grade point average of 3.7, at least four or five courses completed in the major by the end of sophomore year, strong recommendations, and a detailed plan of study). Students recommended by Mount Holyoke are not guaranteed admission, but generally will receive priority over equally-qualified applicants from non-affiliated schools.

It is sometimes possible for us to consider late applications for spring (check with MCGI), but we urge you to apply by the deadline to ensure that you may be considered.
