What does an American need to do to apply to the University of Oxford?
Exactly what you need will depend from subject to subject. Broadly what you need is a minimum GPA of 3.5 from a good US school and excellent letters of recommendation. But that is best viewed as a minimum requirement rather than a bar to get over for admission. No, you dont need to graduate before you can apply. Most people apply for graduate programmes whilst they are still an undergraduate. Information for international students
