[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High performing, unhooked students can get into a world-ranked university in Canada, and aren't penalized the way they are by the holistic admissions process in the US. [/quote] same for Europe. Nobody cares about your struggles or a demographic profile. Not to mention they are much cheaper.[/quote] European universities are large commuter schools. Kids take few courses outside their major, resulting in really lopsided educations that don't enable you to switch jobs easily. They are a poor fit for the US economy. I find that Europeans know a lot about their fields and are mind bogglingly ignorant about other things. Also, the professors are paid little, so the best ones come to the US. At the graduate level, it's worse. Unless its from Oxbridge, a foreign PhD really isn't taken seriously in the US.[/quote]
