It does have both a higher proportion of privately educated students than most other colleges of the university and takes a higher proportion from the poshest/oldest Public schools. The universities own admission statistics and my experience of the college support this.

City

You know, not once in this entire article does it state what city Christ Church is in. I know it's should be obvious, but still. Just some info.

OXFORD! Hence "Christ Church, Oxford" at the top of the page

Private education and Christ Church

The comment about proportion of privately educated students and tied scholarships is untrue. Christ Church does NOT have significantly more privately educated students than other Oxbridge colleges; it does not take a disproportionate number of people from 'posh' schools and it is not filled with members of the aristocracy any longer. This article does not state all of this but insinuates it, and appears to be thinking of the pre-war college (well ok, later as well, but it is not like this any more! Overcome your outdated prejudices, it is a modern college now and is not full of 'toffs'!The preceding unsigned comment was added by 163.1.237.90 (talk • contribs) .

Christopher Wren?

Surely not?


'Fraid so.

Admissions (how applicants are selected)

My reading of University of Oxford suggests that the academic programs and degrees are awarded by Oxford, but that students apply to an individual college for admission. Is there a summary of the differences in criterion between Oxford's other colleges and Christ Church? rhyre (talk) 16:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it the admissions process is largely identical between colleges. Basically an interview, possibly a written test, and depending on the course a subsequent interview with the university department. I haven't heard of any college doing anything special admissions wise, never mind Christ Church. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.144.196 (talk) 20:09, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
