Online UCAS delays

UCAS’ move to scrap traditional paper applications in favour of the online system has caused problems in the efficiency of this year’s Oxford admissions process. A spokesperson from Oxford University said, “We haven’t received everything in the format they expected.” A spokesperson for UCAS stated, “There have been issues with the paper copy forms that many universities and colleges still require.” Problems have arisen as Oxbridge deadlines are earlier than those for other universities, and any technical difficulties place pressure upon Oxford’s admissions department in order to prepare candidates for the interview procedure.Currently, the separate form for Oxford University can only be completed by paper and sent directly to the University.ARCHIVE: 2nd week MT 2005
