lol I got confused by the alphabetical list to begin with as I thought it was the rank list! (and I knew it was completely wrong!)

It's about time the university produced it's own list - if there's going to be one at all, it might as well be at least reasonably accurate.

I guess this one is as accurate as any list can be.

Yes, but accurate and useful are two totally different things in this case.

Woo! Go Mansfield! Talk about climbing up the ranks, we were second to last last year! Also gratifying to note that not a single person got a third or pass!

And the arch nemesis, Harris Manchester, consider yourself vanquished for another year!

But of course I have a sensible point to make and that is that it changes so much from year to year that bigods, don't pay any attention to it if you're applying except not to go to Merton which has been at the top for a long while now.

It's an exclamation. like "by Jove, he's done it!" "Bigods, get that man out of the flowerbed!"

Go Univ! Considering the top 4 are the elite and consistently a little way away from the others, We've done well :biggrin:

I think it's great that the only college where an extra 2:1 would raise the score is Harris Manchester. Shows the level of decent scores :smile:

How on earth does Merton hold the top position - if you look at the breakdown it would only take a couple of people at Merton to do worse and a couple (or so) at the 2nd place college to do better and they'd lose top place - how can they consistently defeat those odds and do only VERY slightly better than other colleges year after year?
