And acceptance by a Faculty is not enough; one must also be accepted by a college. The British education system is based on "elitism" --only about 10 % of 18-to 21-year-olds attend university--and Oxford and Cambridge are "the elite of the elite."
英國大學採「菁英主義」，就學率低，大約只佔十八至廿一歲年齡層的百分之十；而「牛、劍」人更是「菁英中的菁英」，氣燄之高，有他的道理。
