In the UK yes. In academic circles worldwide yes. With the average person (including many potential employers) worldwide? No it is not garbage.

Look at any non-UK TV show or movie where they need to "consult an expert" in the UK... where does the little tag line say they went? Oxford. Need to emphasise that a character is well educated? "They studied at Oxford".

Both being equally academically prestigious does not mean that they both have the same reputation, or "PR" if you will.

Being able to say "I studied at Oxford" is a boost outside of the UK. Just literally the name drop.

I never studied or applied there. The award was not academic.

But I cheered you on when you got an interview. :(

I think Oxford is harder to get into anyway with how they assess people in interviews and the entry test
