There were students from £10,000 a term schools at the same university and course as me who’d had extra tuition and study and still told me I’d been let in “to make up numbers” despite the fact they had worse grades than me, and I had terrible attendance, skived and drank a lot.

I was one of the only kids at my school to apply to English universities let alone university. One of my teachers rang up Bristol & UCL to ask why I got rejected despite getting the grades, both said “kids with certain *social backgrounds* don’t tend to find they fit in”...

From what I heard of UCL English department had their admissions taken from the following year as a result of that sort of attitude. Warwick built themselves an algorithm to look at indices of local deprivation based on your postcode, went there with £3k pa scholarship instead

God what a revolting way to see people. Feudal.

Yep. Absolutely nothing says they’re the brightest there, it exclusively means richest. If grades are exclusive to the brightest, a good chunk of the brightest aren’t the richest, not that this writer can understand that.

Often think that one thing many of the worst politicians of all parties having in common is time spent at US universities. Is that where they get infected with market fundamentalism?

Especially because in the US, being British (even if posh) counts as diversity... So they get allowances there.
