Not really
And the thing about Oxbridge is they're almost 50% private school when private school people make up 5% of the country
And take it from a private school person, we're not that much more deserving to be at Oxbridge than anyone else
You can say its because private schools are selective but that would reasonably only account for a 20:80 split or something along those lines
And its because we get a higher quality of teaching
Although its a difficult issue
Because positive discrimination can often just lead to a toxic environment where people just say "you're only here because you come from a state school" or smth like that
And you don't want to invalidate the hard work of private school people because, although we're generally taught better, we still have to put in a fuckton of work to get those good grades and its note even remotely like we get anything for free
At least that's the case at the kind of private school I go to
Another thing people never realise is there's a bit of a divide in private schools
You have the more Urban and very academic ones like the one I go to which are expensive but not as insanely expensive as the other type and they are very selective academically so they can keep their high academic standards and you get a mix of middle class and upper class people going to these.
And then you have the Ultra expensive not as selective or academic private schools in the countryside which you really have to be fully upper class top 1% to afford to go to and really are just for ultra rich (not necessarily clever) people like Eton and Harrow etc.

The private colleges only give you connections
The most successful men in our society didn't graduate out of the best college
It is only a factor that contributes to your success, but it is not a requirement to succeed.
Did you think Oprah went to a good college?
Yet she's one of the more successful American in our time.
It is your will to power to succeed not your background.
So if I’m rich go to expensive college
if ur rich who gives a fuck

if you were destined to succeed, you will succeed
regardless of ur background
Even Andrew Carnegie was a poor lad
who became one of the richest American in the late 19th century
Glad I’m white

Things would be better off if Hillary won

Hillary Clinton doesn't even have her husband's politics
