[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS's bestie was admitted to Oxford PPE and rejected SCEA from Yale. FWIW[/quote]
And PPE is probably the hardest major for an American to get into.

It is a cliche major and, anyhow, Americans, what is your problem: any college in the United States enables you to double major or take as many courses in those 3 disciplines as you want. It is ironic you would go to the UK to do what America already does best (studying more than one thing)

Go to the UK for a specific subject; that I can understand.[/quote]

well the kid applied, and was denied, from Yale. and I assume he's applied to more than two schools.

but if options come down to Oxford and Tufts - you Tufts?[/quote]
No, I would pick Oxford. But a lot of American PPE get rejected when, if they really wanted to go to Oxford, another programme would have been an easier admit and no worse fit.[/quote]

but if you want to study PPE, there are few better places to study it. Yale might be the other one (although there's is EPE)[/quote]
Don’t be silly. Every single college in America you can double major in one of the three fields (which is all PPE is), take courses in the other, and suppplement with, say, rel math courses, computer science etc.[/quote]

You do realize that PPE was created (as a major) in Oxford, right? [/quote]
