This is true. I don't think you can apply to both universities. It would be stupid anyway as if you miss your firm (which would be one of the two presumably), you would be likely to miss your insurance as well.

To rephrase it for the wannabe pedants:
Where Oxford offers are AAA, Cambridge offers are generally A*AA.

It's to do with it being considered one goals effectively. People talk of "Oxbridge" and one of the big choices people have to make is which one to choose. Therefore, if you could apply for both, each university would effectivly get twice as many applicants, making it more competitive and harder to get in, but also hard to know as a Uni how many offers to give out as you don't know what one those who have two offers will go for.

As has been said by most people on this thread, you can only apply for one or the other.

Other unis have to estimate how many offers to make because applicants will reject them. I don't see why Oxford and Cambridge can't do the same. It's just an arrogant 'we're better than them' thing they have going on.

First of all, universities do the rejecting, candidates who receive offers get to decide whether to accept or decline those offers.
Secondly, the entire Oxbridge candidate assessment system is built around meaningfully interviewing the majority of candidates between the end of term and Christmas (and accommodating them in student accommodation, of course). Doubling the number would overwhelm the system and would not be practical.

The practical reason why is that they put far greater resources into the recruitment process, which allows them to pick the best students through interviews, written tests, consideration of submitted essays, etc, whereas for most courses at most other unis applicants are judged on the basis of A level grades and 4000 characters worth of generally heavily teacher-influenced ramble.

But they are better than other universities. They are the top universities in Europe, and among the top 5 in the world, in terms of prestige. Nearly all the best people apply there, regardless of where they're from in the UK. They might not be the best place for every individual person or for every individual subject, but I'm speaking generally.

At undergraduate level, you can't apply to both (unless you're a choral scholar)

They receive too many applicants so by enforcing this rule (if you will), it will provide them with more time to select candidates.

Do you know if you are allowed to apply to 2 courses at camb or oxf? Eg. Medicine and natsci at Cambridge at the same time.
Someone at the UCAS convention said no but I'm just double checking. Anyone know?
