I haven't actually applied to Oxbridge myself coz I knew it wasn't for me but six of my friends have and out of those four have been rejected, one has been accepted and one still hasn't heard from them. Out of the rejected ones, three of them got 4As at AS-level!!!
I'm glad I didn't apply now coz I only got 2As and 2Bs...no chance...But I really thought one of my rejected friends would get in coz she is so smart and she does loads outside school e.g. she got into the National Youth Theatre (which only 500 auditionees out of 50,000 get accepted into) and she's applied for Drama and English.
Anyone else know brainiacs who didn't get in to Oxbridge?
