An Oxbridge reject is someone who has been rejected from either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge.[1] The term Oxbridge is a portmanteau of Oxford and Cambridge.
The term has received some criticism for its derogatory and elitist nature. Eric Thomas, vice-chancellor of Bristol University, has criticised it because of the way in which it makes people view British higher education through an Oxbridge prism.[2]
