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

Since I'm not going Oxbridge can someone tell me how much a Dustbin man earns?

In Birminham you could earn roughly 50,000 to 100,000 a year if you're lucky, **** knows why. Also, become a train driver and earn 60,000 a year for.... Sitting on your arse all day

wtf when i was 18 i got a warwick offer of AA at advanced higher with no interview. Didn't apply to Cambridge but it wouldve been interview, A1A1A1 and 1's in STEP I imagine.

Has it changed?

Now for Warwick it's A*AA plus 1 in STEP or A*A*A plus 2 in STEP
for Cambridge it's A*A*A plus STEP (the website doesn't say if it's 1 or 2)
So yeah they are pretty similar

No, of course it doesn't.

I really hope you're being sarcastic, because the best maths uni is Warwick

Cambridge is obviously better for maths than Warwick, lol.

Ok. I just said because that's what my maths teacher told us

I'm an Oxford post-interview reject for engineering, and I am inferior in MANY different ways, but not because of that. I think.

All else being equal, yes of course. The exceptions being people who get onto a course at another uni that is better than the Oxbridge equivalent.

To be fair you don't really get a choice in the matter...

Yes if you are heavily into education and conventional careers, with obvious special conditions like people without the money to go (if this happens) or people where another uni is actually better for their subject.

But yeah, I'd say you're inferior if you're from England and do maths at a lesser uni than Cambridge.

That's why you can't get laid, perhaps? :giggle:

maybe bro but i think it has more to do with my mental illness tbh which has destroyed my life

anyway i did say that you're inferior if you're heavily into education and go to a lesser uni. obv if you're not into education then it doesn't matter

Excuses, excuses. I'm an emotional/mental wreck and that didn't stop me.

I didn't go to Oxbridge and still secured a training contract with one of the top law firms. And not going to Oxridge certainly didn't make me feel 'inferior' lol.

go **** yourself you absolute **** I have severe and enduring mental ill health. I have schizophrenia you prick.

Boohoo, that doesn't give you the right to call people inferior just because they didn't go to Oxford or Cambridge.

And 'schizophrenia' isn't the reason why you can't get laid, either, it's your annoying attitude.

Aww so I'm ignorant because I don't see non-oxbridge students as 'inferior'? Good to know bruv.

No. Oxbridge just wasn't the best for my subject. So I didn't apply by choice :u:

Which subject is this?

That includes people that never applied

Inferior in what sense?
At A levels?
Academically?
In life?
As a human being?
As a partner or parent?

oh go **** yourself

seriously you are an *******. You have an appalling attitude to mental ill health considering your membership of the mental health support soc.

Drink bleach and die.

Why? I wasn't even talking about your mental health lol. I am talking about your attitude. Just because you went to Oxford doesn't mean you are 'better than everyone else'
