If there is an Imperial/Oxbridge issue then it's certainly changed from when I applied (which, granted, was ten years ago and I applied for chemical engineering).
My 'interview' at Imperial was with others who had offers from Cambridge and was more of a friendly chat followed by a civilised lunch (very nice asparagus and smoked salmon quiche as I recall). They basically said "we know you're going to choose Cambridge as your first choice but put us down as your insurance and we'll give you a CCC offer". That way they mopped up some good candidates who missed their grades.
Anyway, could well be very different for medicine but I don't think there's any long-standing, antipathy at an institutional level. Now Nottingham, that was a different story…
