[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as I can tell, UK schools are definitely interested in US students applying to their schools.

I, personally, sat in on local interest meetings for UCL, KCL, Edi and Cambridge. The sessions provide detailed information on the university and how to apply as a US citizen.

So many kids applied to Cambridge from my DC's school, that the admissions rep came for an impromptu special meet and greet last spring.

Approximately 20 UK schools are on the common app, including St. Andrews and Durham.

In my opinion, one of the largest impediments to US students entering the UK system, isn't a lack of interest by UK schools; it's the US students' fear of being pigeonholed in an area of study that they can't switch out of. [/quote]

True, it is a different model. Not for everyone, but very appealling to more mature students who know that they want to study -- and therefore do so in a more focused and efficient manner.

PP, what about the possibility to work in the UK 1-2 years after graduation? Is there some clarity on that?[/quote]

Yes, as of 2020 entrance, graduates can stay for two years. Here's a BBC piece on the subject:
