WHAT'S YOUR POST CODE?

Getting the exam grades which Oxbridge seeks can be harder if you are poor, as poor students may also attend struggling schools and live in poor housing. Nor can they afford extra books or private lessons. So, new admission rules announced by Oxford this month will give a leg-up to disadvantaged applicants, identified by their postcode. Students seen as academically strong because they have obtained top grades against the odds will definitely be invited for interview. While this does not mean they will be offered a place, it makes life just a little easier. To give yourself the best chance, read OXBRIDGE ENTRANCE: THE REAL RULES.
