In reply to Martin.

Yes – though as you apply direct to the OU rather than via UCAS it’s impossible to know for certain. With Oxbridge you have the phenomenon on a candidate that interviews well being given a very low (EE) offer – I’m not sure anyone else does that?

Surely the OU is the least selective Uni?
I wonder if there is some pre-selection for Oxbridge unis. You are told there is no point applying to them unless you’re a superstar student and you have to put them first, and there’s that selection process. So unless you really want them and only them, you don’t put them down.
