Its no secret that Oxford is for elites. I have seen what kind of students get in. So i am not suprised.

I guess the bright girl ran out of luck. Insha Allah she will take her revenge on Oxford if she perseveres.

There something about the lack of black student admissions by Oxford just last week
Prime Minister David Cameron was at the centre of a race row yesterday after saying it was a 'disgrace' only one black person went to Oxford University last year.

Obviously British top schools are more elitist than merit. She would have gone to Harvard in a jiffy.

Properly because he wasnt doing medicine.

Wish there was more somalis like her. unfortunetly the majority dont even get one A let alone 11 A*s. lol

Actually, it's tougher to get into postgraduate Maths at Oxford than undergraduate medicine.
Just out of curiosity, do you have a link to the story of this Oxfordian guy from Somaliland?
