Why is she unable to post herself? Are there too many state students on TSR which render it unsuitable?

Oxbridge, Durham, St Andrews, Bristol or Imperial.
Unfortunately they let anyone in these days, so encountering some state students might be inevitable every now and then.


Lowest proportion of state school students

Royal Academy of Music 48.5%

Royal Agricultural University 49.1%

Courtauld Institute of Art 55.3%

Oxford 55.7%

St Andrews 56.7%

Royal College of Music 56.9%

Durham 60.5%

Bristol 61.4%

Cambridge 61.9%

Imperial 65.5%

I'm a guy who is at a private school and I'm going to study Physics at uni. I applied to Oxford, St Andrews, Durham, Royal Holloway and Manchester.

A few of my friends at school also applied to relatively similar universities for Physics.

I hope this helps!

London or Manchester Met would be a sensible choice. :biggrin:

If she chooses her uni on that basis she shouldn't be going.
