If you don't get in to Oxbridge, does it mean you are inferior?

Imperial charges £27k for internationals while Oxford charges £22k for internationals for my course. They both charge £9k for UK/EU students. So do internationals students at Imperial get better quality education?
High fees don't necessarily mean high quality...
Stanford charges $14,728 which is much less than Oxford/Imperial for internationals. (hey, so American universities don't charge "far far more" after all???)
Even if you pay 12k a month you still have to finish your degree and you still have to work hard to get a good degree, and still have to build a career. tbf your university is a rip off, no education is worth 12k a month.

Erm, maybe after taking into account financial aid for high earning families. But the true tuition cost (without any deductions) is ~$45,729.

I was rejected from Cambridge and personally I don't see myself as inferior to anyone who received an offer nor to anyone who has/currently studies there. I have 10A*s in my GCSEs and 4As at AS, so personally don't see myself as academically inferior, I just don't think I was the right type of student for that university.

Yeah Manchester is basically a bus/tram away so that's convenient for her lol, she can watch me like a hawk. Ffs thinking about this just makes me more desperate to meet my offer
Original post by drandy76
nope, the actual price but you do have to work with stones worth £200,000 each in some classes so I guess make it enough to discourage theft by putting that sort of bill upfront

*triggered*Cambridge requirements are A*A*A + 11 in STEP II and STEP IIIWarwick's easy entry requirements are A*A*A + 2 in STEP 1.Ask anyone who does STEP and they will tell you cambridge's much higher STEP requirements makes it much harder to get into.

Easier*Cambridge is another level of hard. But warwicks requirements are still challenging for many
Apologies. In my head Warwick have this entry requirement and the other where an A* can be substituted for a STEP grade. This second one is harder, so I had just been mentally viewing them as the "easy" and "hard" ones. I didn't stop and think about how it actually read.

tbh I think A*A*A* is easier than A*A*A + 2 in STEP
