Even if it was true that every student there was in the top 5%, there are only enough Oxbridge places for ~1% of undergraduates so the base rate is 5-1 against
I can’t believe someone seriously makes this argument when private school kids make up 7% of students but ~40% of Oxbridge intake. Going to private school is still a massive advantage, just slightly less than it was a decade ago

And that reduced advantage is against a backdrop of structural forces which make coming from wealth an even more potent force given persistence of economic rank across generations through various channels.

Agreed. Just attended the Westminster open day (online) at the weekend and this question was asked about Oxbridge offers. They said they haven’t noticed a meaningful drop in acceptance rates for their students

I looked it up and I'm a bit out of date, Oxbridge is ~26% private now down from ~37% in 2011, amusingly the increase in state admissions is only up 6.5% rather than 11%, rest of the increase is overseas students (hmm I wonder how likely they are to be privately educated...)

all of them would be my guess.

What advantage? Advantage of privilege has nothing to do with the school. Knowing people? parents aren’t know everyone. Superior education? All use same books.
