It is hard to get in. I have to attend a special test and an interview, and probably maths is same everywhere, so I decided not to bother, however probably could succeed. Also, I am already /failing/ maths in my almost top tier uni, so it seems to for better that I am not in Oxbridge.

>>34073178
Do you know any lads at Merton or Somerville? Cantab here but I've got a bunch of mates at those two colleges.

daddy couldn't afford my entry, unfortunately

>>34073284

>>34073284
Loans?

>>34073257
Know someone who as far as I remember is at Merton. Also briefly met some guys at Merton when doing sports.

Don't remember meeting anyone from Somerville.

That having been said I have an absolutely terrible memory for names and other info about people I only occasionally meet so I'm sure I'm forgetting some people

>>34073178

If you're from the UK or the EU you can get a loan covering the entirety of the tuition fees

If you're from the Uk you can even get a loan for your living costs.

Also the tuition fees are similar to those of a low - midrange US college, so really not very expensive

Ye,get a loan and be the banker's good lil bitch for half your life

I'm autistic so I have to ask in this fashion sorry.

I have a question to ask whoever reading this is a mathematician/structural engineer/physicist from any big name university.

Or any uni, I guess.

Ivies aren't difficult, what's difficult is standing out enough to get into them

I was on a campus tour in Harward. First of all, the guide was a Kenyan daughter of their corrupt minister of something. Second, after the tour, I meet a man, who said that he studied there, and nevertheless failed his life.

>>34073470

>>34073100

Seriously it depends on what you mean.

Usually when this gets asked people aren't actually asking what the best University in the world is at research or teaching (they're not the same thing and many great research universities have dogshit teaching programes as well as vice versa) or which is best at an individual subject (in which you can have one of the best departments in the world in a university which is otherwise middling or even poor) or any of a million other questions.

Usually this question is 'where will people be most impressed when I say I went there?'

And on average, that's Harvard. It's been top of enough rankings and it's in the global consciousness. It's also not diluted by being part of a set in the same way Oxbridge is.

That doesn't mean it's the best; MIT has a case it's harder to get into and does better research, Oxbridge have history and there are individual institutions when are more impressive if you're in a specific field etc etc.

But prestigious doesn't mean best. So Harvard.

>>34073577

That's totally plausible (I know loads of Oxbridge grads who aren't anything special) but some random dude telling you he went to Harvard is probably just bitter and lying to you.

I don't see the appeal on big name brand educational institutions.

Our former prime minister was a PPE student at Oxford.
He was (and still appears to be) a fucking idiot, which doesn't particularly instil confidence.

What people are buying is a name, which is fair enough, but I find it laughable when people try to suggest anything more.

Just a quick reminder. It is better no get in a uni where you won't be the stupidest one.

>avoiding the robot is against the rules
Although it does come down to moderator discretion, I'd argue that all posts 'attempt to avoid the robot'.

In any sense, I'd very easily find ways around moderation should that be necessary.

>>34073704

It's not just a name, there's some great research, a lively community of undergrads, great networking and you might not like Cameron, but he was good enough at politics to get to be Prime Minister. most people couldn't do that.

What is true is that beyond the connections the eduction is basically equivalent at the top 20 or so Unis. I've been to several (did bsc/msc/phd) and work in science. In practical terms oxbridge means zip for identifying the best people within that group - although like I said the connections are great and it does help with getting in the door.

>>34073706
legit.
every school has to have its bottom feeders, being the bottom 25% no matter where you are is absolutely miserable

>>34073745
> lively community of undergrads, great networking
Not if you are a robot, lad.

>>34073704
It's not just a name

True, the education itself isn't that much better than in other places.

But it is a much nicer and more civilized place to study, your peers are much smarter and harder working etc. I'm a lazy piece of shit anyways but I'm sure that if you are the hardworking type you will fare much better here than at some midrange Uni.

Not to say that those are that bad, especially for the undergrad studies it's not as important (if you do plan to get a graduate degree that is)

>>34073706
You probably won't be the dumbest one at Oxbridge either unless you got in on work ethics alone.

That having been said it's definitely a shock to go from being the biggest fish in a small pond in school to being thrown in a fuckhuge tank at Oxford

>>34073772

Bunch of societies for robots. My brother made a bunch of friends in the science fiction interest group thing.

But I mean of course there are going to be awkward people everywhere. Not all of them are robots, and not all robots can't socialise.

Threads like these, and the fact that so many people that attend top tier universities visit the board illustrate how closely related that the experience of those at the "top" and the experience of those at the bottom are. I think the thing that separates these /workingclassuni/s from real robots is that they have a lot of optimism about what they can do because they have previously enjoyed success. However, on the inside I think they beat, scold, and torture themselves everyday. Then they make threads like these to remind them of their accomplishments so they can get back to work.

Grade requirements are really lax for Oxbridge, a lot of Unis in the top 50-100 positions gloablly have harsher requirements

The difficult part is the tests and interviews, those are tests of talents pretty much. They're either easy or impossible depending on your aptitude

>>34073962
I have A*A*A, but I was studying for 2 different education programs simultaneously, lad.

You won't be killing shit boy

You'll adress me as "boss" or "sir" just like the waiters in hall do if you ever meet me irl

What I don't understand, and never have understood, is how people (robots) can focus on their studies and achieve highly at school and uni, whether they're a /workingclassuni/ or in a "fancy" uni, when they know that all those qts and stacies around them in class and the library are getting dicked by narcissistic douchebags and Chad respectively on the reg respectively

Dont you ever get overwhelmed by the absurdity of it all?

>Grade requirements are really lax for Oxbridge

I know the "entrance requirements" are a meme and that no one who gets a offer is going to miss it, but how the fuck don't you get all A* if you get in no matter how little work you do?

>tests and interviews

The oxford test for physics is a piss easy version of the maths olympiad (I did see this before and assumed it was a meme test to filter out the absolute retards), and the people who dropped out don't seem too "sharp" in person, they are much better than most people here though.

I'm just bitter I got memed I guess.

Does it make you feel a little better inside when the staff deliberately address you in a way that makes you feel superior to them? Enjoy it while it lasts because you aint gonna be shit when you leave uni

>>34074282
I'm not a wagecuck, and I don't plan on becoming one.

>>34074254
I actually know people that missed their offer and still got in.

The tutors don't really care so long as you don't fuck up too badly

Sure, the test is easy but it is marked harshly. You wouldn't actually get as many marks as you think you would based on taking past papers.

Obviously the dropouts aren't really the best representation if the average Oxford student. It's mistly people that were the best at their school and think they can also get by here without doing any work, but aren't actually that talented.

Of course there are plenty of people here who are "educated far beyond their potential" as one of my tutors likes to say

>>34074074
I didn't say that they're robots though. I referred to the education posters as /workingclassuni/'s. Hehe, maybe you would benefit from a class or two anon.

>>34074332

>How does it feel to have "best mates", lad?

It feels pretty good. One of them is a turbo autist and one of them fits the "stereotype" incredibly well, ridiculously rich, private school etc.

By not keeping up with work they didn't have enough time so kept putting it off over and over again, got too stressed out, had a breakdown and dropped out.

The turbo autist is about to drop out of the uni I'm at now (not because he can't handle the work, but because he's such a mess)

>>34074406

>Of course there are plenty of people here who are "educated far beyond their potential" as one of my tutors likes to say

>>34074349
>you aint gonna be shit when you leave uni

But I have annually done internships going back for almost a decade, have already been offered jobs and my father is well connected. Not very likely that I will be a nobody.

>>34074179
Ahh the answer is simple. Real robots drop out of college. The ones that stay either become "cyborgs" or full blown normies.

I just want best mates, anon. Why it is so hard to get some. I tried several times but failed.

Aim to look for people with a similar power level.

Don't really know what to say anon, I waste a tonne of time shitposting but you can't let it drag you behind.

If you can't find any friends then I think it's better to have none then hang around people who don't actually care about you and you don't care about them.

You'll have a good degree by the end of it, and that's the most important thing. I had no friends most my life, and was kicked out of school for quite a few years when I was younger, and in the end realised that the normies opinions doesn't mean anything. Don't care what anyone thinks of you and focus on not fucking up your work.

You don't sound very happy anon, I feel for you :(

Student loans mate?

I get 8,200 a year "maintenance" from the government, and then 9,000 covering the course.

I know "maintenance" depends on family income though.

I know people from every background, only met one of two posh cunts really. Most of them are normal people desu. I mean, british Cambridge students are now 65% from state schools, it's not like I'm in the minority. Honestly more middle class types than upper class really.

It's a numbers game m8, apply to as many as you can. Only ones you will be able to get are min wage (7 pounds a hour)

Your CV can be absolute shit and it doesn't matter, DO NOT put any academic stuff on it either just a load of normie bullshit like "I enjoy spending time with my family, and doing [hobby, make it up if you haven't got one]".

Also make sure to make up some work experience, e.g. say you worked at a local convenience store which has closed down, they almost certainly won't check.

Is it really so unsafe to put your uni name here?

>>34075531
> I have no idea how to apply for this kind of jobs.

Look up how to make a CV, or ask your family. Apply to as many jobs as possible, you MUST make up previous experience, volunteering etc, they won't check this.
There's 0 standards to get one, but since they can pick anyone you won't get it by being smart.

Sorry don't wanna risk it, but it's not exceptionally generous with aid.

>Are you trolling? I dunno how to apply.

I don't wanna sound rude but it's easy to work out. The only thing you might not realise is how important it is to lie on it.

Some you have to apply over the internet, this takes absolutely ages. Look up "tesco jobs" and apply there, then do this for every major company.

Other way is to make a CV (google it for the format), and spam that out in store and over the internet to any company which is hiring.

I literally can't express how much better my life has been since I attended Oxford. I went to a state school and gradually became the stereotypical moody, withdrawn sensitive type who both despises the quality of his immediate culture and feels a weird pride for having been raised in a sort of anti-intellectual and brutal environment. I was all set to take my Russell Group humanities BA and spend my life working as an obscure and insecure wageslave too insecure to pursue my creative ambitions. The chip on my shoulder became something of a wedge, and I felt too out of place, too resentful and bitter to even attempt to make it in the artistic world. I finally applied for Oxford and got in to study an English MA, with reassurance that should I work hard enough a career in academia or within one of Oxford's affiliated companies would be guaranteed. I turned up as apprehensive as usual, and the first few days were spent regretting my decision and desperately feigning a cultured personality. But I realized the people there were very interesting and that the snobbery and exclusivity I had anticipated was just a myth borne out of my working class upbringing. I've since graduated, having spend the year dining in grand halls with groups of interesting people, dating several girls (one of whom, a petite Russian whose family traces back to the aristocracy, is now my fiancee). I work four days a week at a publishing company and earn 38k a year. I regularly meet up with friends from my college and visit Oxford for nights out and for meetings with my professors. .I never thought I'd know what it was like to be objectively better than somebody else, for the value of my existence to be superior to the value of a stranger's, but now I do and I've never been happier. People are awed by power and prestige. All I need to do is mention the university I attended and they immediately begin to hunch and look at their feet because they know they are in the presence of greatness.

Nope.

Friend of mine makes gbp15 an hour working at a specialised electronics store over the holidays. He has a posh accent and that Oxford flair about him though, perfect for customer contact.

I know a guy that used to make gbp100+ per hour tutoring rich kids. Hard job to get though

For basic jobs just check the webpages of large companies with local branches, they always need workers

>>34075504
Which country are you in? Most countries don't have this extreme elitism in a few Unis which make Oxford and Cambridge so successful as compared to other british Unis

>>34075854

Oh.... are you in the east midlands?

>>34075774

>The only thing you might not realise is how important it is to lie on it.

How and why is it so important to lie on it?

>>34075889
West midlands.
>>34075858

Thanks a lot.

>>34075853
This.

All you need to mention is that you went to Oxford and people automatically give you respect and assume you are above them on the social ladder (which you are)

And the people here really are much better than in the general public.

Whenever leave Oxford it just feels like I am surrounded by subhumans. Normal people seem dull and defective in comparison

>>34075853

Medium-quality bait, good job.

>>34075917
>thanks a lot

I know this is sarcastic, but this is literally what you do.

There's usually some forms to fill in and then an "interview" where all you need to do is show up.

CVs don't matter for wageslave stuff, just fill it in and seem reasonably motivated if possible. Don't even really need to do that

>>34075983
>he thinks this is bait

It might actually be, but it is largely true.

>>34075897

>How and why is it so important to lie on it?

There is no disadvantage to lying (you almost certainly won't get caught), and the only thing which will effect getting one of these jobs is previous experience (and not being to autismo but that can't be helped).

Make up work experience and make it sound realistic.

>>34075917

That guy is right about checking the websites, you have to apply to the jobs on there. You will then get invited to some cancerous waste of time interview/group event, and then you will get the job.

Oh that's a shame, anyway I'm going to sleep now. It was nice talking to you.

It's pretty elitist at the institution that they are at.
I'd argue that the more relaxed approach at my institution makes it easier to learn. Unfortunately my university means fuck all for undergraduate graduates, so I'm gonna bank on learning moreso than making my transcript look fancy and go for postgraduate somewhere more reputable. It's apparently the often path that people at my uni take unless they want to get stuck in a dead end public service job.

>>34075992
I didnt want to be sarcastic. You probably thought that it is sarcastic either because I lack english language skills or this place is generally sarcastic or both.

Showing that oxbridge creativity ;)

>I work four days a week at a publishing company and earn 38k a year.
I feel so dumb for having thought this was bait.

All I have to say is I'm fucking jealous.

I don't have what it takes to be there. I mean I could probably have gotten AAAA but I'd probably drop out if I were to have been accepted.

I go to a top 50 university in Europe and I'm not even top of my class in Math and the top of my class are people who failed very early on in the Math Olympiad. The top contestants of the Math Olympiad from my country are now studying in Oxbridge. So I sort of have an idea of how smart you folks are.

>>34076206
I studied a bit with an olympiade winners. You would feel bad under their superiority, lad.

>>34076266

Yeah, I already know that feeling. It's not very productive to work with somebody who is so far ahead of you intellectually.
