Believe me, it’s not as hard to get in as it looks. You’ll be surprised.



Getting into Oxford or Cambridge is at least as difficult as getting into Harvard. I would be surprised if that wasn’t considered difficult.

Gryffon, you cite the admission bias of Cambridge and Oxford as evidence for elitism in UK? Look at Yale, with the “New World Order” Skull and Bones Society – membership includes several US presidents and a strong fraction of the powers that be in the US government.

From my understanding, being a legacy is slightly less important for Oxford or Cambridge admissions than it is for any of the elite US college admissions. I might be wrong though.
