It's so rare that the media talk anything but nonsense about Oxbridge admissions that it seems worth flagging it when they break the habit. Certainly my recollection is that those of my classmates who didn't get into Oxford or Cambridge weren't considered somehow inferior or to have failed; we all knew perfectly well that there was a large element of chance involved.

I very nearly went to Warwick... I wonder how things would have been. I'd probably be completely different.

Hmmm. Possibly not as different as you'd think. I could still see you getting sucked into the SF society, rocksoc and possibly the film society in fairly short order. Goth scene was a bit poor in Cov while I was there, but started to pick up later. Geek scene was very much in evidence.

Put it this way: socially, Cambridge and the extended CUSFS family felt like a home-from-home to me, so I think it fair to assume that there's enough commonality that you would have turned out much the same at Warwick.
