Lets say for example OAA receive 1500 applications and CTC receive 1000 applications and FTE receive 750 Applications. Although BA say that each school considers each application purely on it's quality, realistically if all of Oxford's applications were fantastic they couldn't invite all 1500. So in reality, you have a better chance with FTE than with any of the other two schools. Also, I know for sure that each school can only send X amount of candidates through to the final stage so therefore your competing against less candidates with FTE. I wouldn't encourage people to try and play the system though and choose a school based on what you think is right for you.
