Oxford Dphil

[Boa]

Hello everyone! 

Does anyone know what is a number of applicants and accepted students for DPhil at Oxford?
I tried to find answer but it was quite general: 112 applicants and around 15 people accepted per year. 
However, this info is for all graduate students in philosophy and not necesarilly for DPhil only.

I honestly wish all of you the very best of luck with your applications!

I was at another highly ranked philosophy graduate program doing my ma in the UK. 2 of my classmates are doing their dphils at Oxford. Lets just say both these individuals are the two brightest minds I've ever met in philosophy- and one didn't even get funding. I don't know the numbers but it is extremely difficult to get into the dphil there. 25 of us at our masters program (the 2nd ranked philo grad program in the UK) and only 2 got in for the dphil. Not to scare you, but just letting you know!

Boa, for what it's worth, as I understand it, it's slightly easier, generally speaking, all other things held equal, for an American student to get admitted to Oxford's DPhil than for an American student to get admitted to a similarly-prestigious PhD program in the United States. I say this based only on my experience. Some of this has to do with funding options, just from what little I understand about applying to Oxford.
