this thread will have probably been exhausted to death by all you old timers but why is it not possible to apply to both Ox/Cam? I can't find the answer anywhere on the internet :confused:

it halves the number of people each uni has to interview :wink:

Did you know that 10,000 people every year who get straight As are rejected from oxbridge? [read this stat today]
So why do people make a big deal of that Spence wench :confused:

Andy: "Don't like it! Want that one!" [points to Johns]

Lou: "But you'd rather go to Oxford than St Johns."

Andy: "Yeah, I know!"

:wink:
