[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really you should compare the last two years at HYP to Oxbridge. The high school systems are also different.[/quote] [b]True, in America the liberal arts curriculum is done in the first two years of college, while in Britain and Europe you generally take care of that in high school. [/quote][/b] THis, so you are testing in at a higher level at Oxbridge and are expected to show mastery in areas not yet taught in U.S. high school. In the Oxbridge application (you apply to only one), you must demonstrate why you want to "read history" and why they should select you to work with tutor X. There are also intense interviews which US students do poorly at. Once there, you are studying only the subject you applied to read. You don't switch majors. You are totally on your own. There is no hand-holding.[/quote]
