It's not really typing errors which made me ask that question, more misuse of words (much/many, excepted/accepted).

Question stands. Are you a native speaker?

Best year ever this year for my school - 8 ppl have got offers. It's a comp, but a flagship one.

EDIT: everyone else is saying how big their year is, so i will too: about 300 ppl. And about 12 applied, and as i said 8 got offers.

In my year of about 60 people at my school (private) 2 of us applied to Cambridge and I was the only one who got in. The comprehensive where several of my friends went had about 150 in a year in 6th form (I think) and I am aware of at least 4 who got in, there could be more, though I have no idea what percentage that is of the people who applied.

A minor London public school. I think it was quite a high number comparative to other years, and it does include people who had a second go at it.

From what I remember, 0/3 for Oxford and 3/7 for Cambridge. I think.

Was 4/8...so we were about half and half, there. It fluctuates wildly from year to year though, with a greater Oxford admissions success rate than at Cambridge. Last year it was 1/6 for Oxford, and none for Cambridge.

Private school, about 40ppl in the year. 1/6 for Cam and 1/2 for Oxford. Considering the number who applied we were quite unsuccessful, but we do only usually get 2/3 ppl a year into Oxbridge.

i went to a private school and 4 people applied to oxbridge in my year (out of 60 people), more people were offered to apply but only 4 actually wanted to, and out of those, 2 applied to oxford and 2 to cambridge, and 1 got into each... if that makes sense. basically 1 got into oxford and 1 into cambridge, but in the year below me 20 people were applying, but not sure how many got in but it was a lot more than 2. so it can depend on how many people apply at the school, and also for what subjects as a lot of them were applying for classics or something like that. xmx

State school, hardly anyone has ever applied to Oxbridge, I think one person did a few years ago, got an offer and then turned it down. I might apply, and I know one of my friends in the year below will be applying.
