How to apply to Oxbridge and actually get in

Get into Oxbridge

Oxford and Cambridge are the best universities in the UK. It's official.

And you (or your child) have decided you want to study there. (Go you!)

You're clearly intelligent (after all you're getting straight As or even A*s). You also work blimmin' hard.

Well, I've got the complete low-down here for you.
