  Oxbridge - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Oxbridge, once a small town in England, was home to the World's first ever and most pretentious University.
This is due primarily to the fact that it has long since ceased interviewing potential students, instead telepathically screening all 17 year olds on October 12th, Cewster's Friday, and selecting those who show the greatest attraction to the stale, wizened tutors and possessed of the silliest accents.
New students are subject to hazing rituals that include being dangled from Flitterby College being annexed to the sewers, or being beaten to a bloody and early death, these pursuits being considered a valuable part of student tradition.

 The Oxbridge Programme
There are effectively three parts to the Oxbridge research programme: the development of "multiplier-accelerator" theories of the cycle, the development of endogenous cycles via non-linear mechanisms and, parallel and underlying both of them, the development of Keynesian growth theory.
The other strand of the Oxbridge programme was the "endogenous cycle" tradition initiated by Michal Kalecki (1937, 1939, 1954) and followed up by Nicholas Kaldor (1940) and Richard Goodwin (1951).
If Oxbridge researchers omitted factors like money and finance from their models, we contend, it was not merely because of oversight, but rather, it was purposeful.

 Great Britain - Navigating the Oxbridge System | Brown University: Office of International Programs
Due to the tutorial nature of the Oxbridge curriculum, there is no set course catalog in which to select courses.
This is due to the fact that the acceptance rates are dependent upon the number of applicants in each year’s pool of prospective students and are as a result highly variable.
In light of the competitive nature for a spot at Oxford or Cambridge, you are strongly encouraged to also apply to another school outside of the Oxbridge system as an alternate option for study abroad.

 Oxbridge
We try to get ahead with thinking through the application process in the summer term of year 12 because the school deadline for Oxbridge applications is the end of September.
Students often benefit from interview preparation and practice and guidance about enhanced reading or enriching experience in their chosen subjects and the summer between year 12 and year 13 is a good opportunity to work on these areas.
There are books available on Oxbridge applications, the college and UCAS submission of essays for some subjects, and a challenging and enjoyable programme of reading and summer activities might just make the difference to interviews in the autumn term.

Admission to Oxford and Cambridge, or Oxbridge as they are more commonly known, is not only competitive but totally different from admission to any other British universities.

Under the supervision of the UCAS Adviser they are given special tutoring in interview techniques and taught how to demonstrate their enthusiasm and knowledge.

 Third of Oxbridge come from 100 schools | UK news | The Guardian
The study, published today, highlights how "a small cadre of elite 'feeder' schools" dominate Oxbridge admissions, and will raise fresh concerns that state schools are struggling to get their pupils into leading universities despite efforts to make Oxbridge more inclusive.
The report said the proportion of university entrants going to Oxbridge from the top 30 fee-paying schools was nearly twice as high as that for the best 30 state grammars, despite similar average A-level scores.
At the 30 best-performing comprehensives, only half the expected number went to the 13 top universities, given their average A-level scores, while a third more pupils than might be expected from the top private schools won a place.

 Oxbridge - Oxbridge - Icons of England
It isn't useful to separate Oxford and Cambridge when thinking of these ancient universities as an icon - it is as Oxbridge that they have provided us with the "Oxbridge mafia" and given there simultaneous charters (even though Cambridge was founded from Oxford), there is no real sense of precedence.
In the tradition of the two "rivals" fighting it out we think that there should only be a choice between the two, not some soft option that doesn't really mean anything.
Oxbridge - Oxford and Cambridge Universities are the two most famous universities in the world.
