[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was really helpful, OP.  I have a junior. My kid keeps saying she wants to apply in the UK.  I know the process is different, but I have no idea how it's different?

I heard that they had to take a completely separate admissions test that isn't offered frequently-- is that only for Oxford and Cambridge?

Oops.  Sorry.  I meant I have a sophomore.  So there's time!  [/quote]

OP here. To answer your question, if you apply to study Math you have an entry test, similar for some other STEM courses at places like Imperial / UCL etc. The websites for those colleges will explain the admissions process in some detail of you look them up. Each course is handled differently.

It is actually very hard to switch majors. Often this involves starting again at year 1. I had a friend at Cambridge who started Russian and Persian, switched to Persian and Arabic and then one more time (I can't remember the variation)). that was not so difficult a change but it took him 5 yrs to finish a 3 yr degree in the end, because of the changes he made.
