Hi, You are joking I'm biased but to get into a top university you have to put in literary hundreds of hours of work ! Well I did to get to Leeds University ! When I didn't return to Leeds I was bitter because of all those years studying for GCSEs & A levels when others were going to the pub ! (but family know best? or a trip to Mexico, might have suited me). Yeah, Leeds was second to Cambridge & Oxford was third in the ranking system for Geography. I used to get 90% plus for mock A level Geog exams. So you can keep Oxford ! All the best Jonathan P.

When I graduated from Manchester Metropolitan, formerly the poly (The building opposite the old red brick Manchester Uni one), I got lots of feedback from Employment agencies along the lines of "You must understand, just because Manchester met is now a university, It does not mean it is Oxford or Cambridge". I could not get a job so I decided to change tack and instead of putting Manchester Metropolitan on my CV, I now put Saint Andrews. It work well as employers don't check it out or ask to look at the certificate.
