At Cambridge, it can sometimes feel like everyone around you has a connection to the place — a parent, sibling, or grandparent who went before them. But how many students really have family who attended Oxford or Cambridge? And how much do these connections shape who gets in?
Take part in Varsity’s anonymous survey to help uncover how many students at Oxford and Cambridge have close relatives who also went to either university. Whether you’re the first in your family to apply or part of an Oxbridge dynasty, we want to hear from you.
