    ' I was just wondering if Cambridge or Oxford has ever been in clearing? If so, have they ever had good subjects?
    They rather be under-subscribed than take on candidates that do not meet their criteria - words from an lecturer I once met from Cambridge

    I think that depends very much on the subject

    And on the ranking you are looking at
    Not when pretty much all major international tables rank Cambridge higher than Oxford.

    Yeah I thought neither of them would ever go in clearing. I never knew Cambridge was higher than Oxford till yestersay, thought they was the same.
    I'd say all the thumbs down you got where from people at Oxford/applying to Oxford
