Comparing the ratios of state:independent applicants and state:independent
students, Oxford takes disproportionately greater numbers of students from
the state sector than its applicants would suggest it should.

The only 'private fee paying kids' at British universities are those from
outside the EU.


"fee paying" meaning fee paying schools, which account for about 5% of the
school population, yet 50% of Oxbridge is from "fee paying" schools. Seems
out of balance eh?
