Only around 12% of all students at Oxbridge come from working-class parents.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(The Guardian)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Anyone even remotely acquainted with <a href=\"https:\/\/markinstyle.co.uk\/education-statistics-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UK education statistics<\/a> knows Oxbridge is a tough nut to crack.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking at the occupation of parents, the percentage of students coming from working-class parents across Britain was <\/span><b>32.3%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> throughout all the universities. But for those considered to be <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">posh universities,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the gap of around <\/span><b>20%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is evident.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, it should come as no surprise that <\/span><b>Oxford<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the university with the fewest students with parents who have routine or manual jobs, with only <\/span><b>11.5%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of its students coming from working-class families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following closely is <\/span><b>Cambridge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with <\/span><b>12.6%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Bristol<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with <\/span><b>14.2%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ratio between offers and admissions can sometimes be quite surprising. With that in mind, it\u2019s vital not to mix the two in search of information when looking to apply for uni.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key takeaway:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>University acceptance rates in the UK <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">don\u2019t depend solely on grades and fulfilled requirements. The numbers are influenced by the available slots at universities, the popularity of the courses they offer, accessibility, and much much more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span
