Where do Oxbridge rejects go?

Okay I'll bite in.

Oxbridge rejects go to varied places depending on the programme. Here are the places where I think they'll likely end up. I'm assuming the departments are separated this way (10 on my table).

Law: LSE, UCL ... to a lesser extent Durham, Warwick, Bristol, King's
Medicine: Imperial, UCL .... to a lesser extent Edinburgh, King's
Engineering: Imperial ... to a lesser extent, UCL
Maths: Warwick, Imperial
Economics: LSE, Warwick, UCL
Business/Management/Finance: LSE, Warwick ... to a lesser extent Bath, Notts, Manchester
English/Lit.: UCL, Warwick, Durham
Physical Sciences: Imperial, UCL, Warwick, Durham
Social Sciences: LSE, UCL, Warwick, Durham, Edinburgh, St Andrews
Languages: UCL, Warwick, Durham, Edinburgh


Now, let's rank them based on the number with which they were mentioned.

LSE - 4
Imperial - 4
UCL - 8
Warwick - 8

Durham - 5
Edinburgh - 3

King's - 2
Bristol - 1
St Andrews - 1
Bath - 1
Manchester - 1
Notts - 1


So, based on the above table, I'd say the bulk of those Oxbridge rejects (tend to) go to UCL and Warwick. They are followed by Durham with 5 departments, then Imperial and LSE, each having 4 departments where Oxbridge rejects tend to go. Then you have Edinburgh with 3 departments and King's with 2. And, finally, one each at St Andrews, Bath, Manchester and Notts.

That is what will appear when you're trying to establish the places of where the Oxbridge rejects (tend to) go based on absolute numbers. Due to size, both UCL and Warwick would dominate as both are also multi-faculty universities like Oxbridge. However, when you're trying to rank these unis based on percentage, meaning, adjusted to the university's availability of department, Imperial and LSE would rank first and second. They both appear on areas where they have a department.

You can't trust the Entry Tariff scores (UCAS) scores alone. Department reputation strength would be more reliable, and I based my list on it.
Take for example the department of Business/Management where your list includes: St Andrews, Strathclyde, Bath, KCL but not Warwick. Really, mate?
Warwick Business School has the best reputation after Oxbridge and LSE for anything related to business/management/finance programmes. That's precisely the reason why the top banks in the city are considering Warwick as a top target destination for recruitment along with Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial and UCL, yet it didn't appear of your list. Let's get real on here Strathclyde over Warwick for management or finance? Come on... I'd rather list Cass than Strathclyde, to be honest.

When you say social sciences, you refer them to Politics, Philosophy, Psychology and History, not just geography. Do Durham, St Andrews and Bristol have stronger departments on those areas than Warwick does? I doubt it. The PPE program of Warwick is the often regarded to be only bettered by Oxford, and along with LSE and UCL, is the next best choice. I doubt the top students who plan on doing PPE would rather end up at Durham or Bristol than Warwick.

Warwick's UCAS points decreased because they intentionally admitted a few "extra" students who missed their prediction, and, unlike their peers, they based their points solely on A-Levels. This will be corrected next year, hopefully.

Sorry, I didn't get what you said. So, you mean to say the more qualified students wanting to major in management/finance/business would rather opt for Strathclyde than Warwick? Please clarify.

I'm a Cambridge reject and I'm going to Birmingham.
