[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They love Americans. You pay so much more than Europeans [/quote] Actually that's pretty moot. You don't get many American students studying for the full undergrad degrees in the UK, more often you see them for PhD level work. And its actually harder for Americans to get into Oxford and Cambridge as undergrads (so kudos to parent above with all the helpful application info) - much harder, because the baseline assumption will be that the schooling is inferior (I'm not saying it is, but that is the general assumption amongst educators) so you REALLY have to impress them. If your child is at a private US school, they will stand a higher chance of getting an offer as the individualized, intellectual training can be much better (although it not always, it depends on the school) than a public school. And the Oxbridge admissions people know this and act accordingly.[/quote]
