Chelsea Clinton may study at Oxford University

Chelsea Clinton may follow in her father's footsteps and study at Oxford University.

A university spokesman said she has been considering various options.

The spokesman said Clinton hadn't formally applied, but indicated that it would be a formality for her.

"We haven't been told whether she is definitively coming in the autumn," the spokesman said.

"She is very talented academically. I'm sure if she made an application we would be delighted to have her," he added.

Former President Bill Clinton attended Oxford as a Rhodes scholar from October 1968 until June 1970.

Chelsea is scheduled to graduate with a pre-med degree from Stanford University next month.
