[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us, Oxbridge is attractive financially as it is for academics and prestige. We're US citizens, but even as an international student, three years at a UK college will be cheaper or at least on par with full-pay private college Stateside. A liberal arts degree is three years, so there's cost cutting there too. For the price, three years at Oxbridge will be a much more eye-opening and learning experience than spending four years at a mid-tier US college.

If DC were to get a generous scholarship here, or get into an Ivy, then that would be a different matter.[/quote]

But you are comparing apples to oranges. The Oxbridge system is a focused one on one subject. The student does not get the broad education experience that US institutions are known for.[/quote]

yeah and it sounds out of reach for OP's kid if her alternative is only mid-tier US collage. I actually laughed so hard I spat my tea.[/quote]

OP here. My kid is not mid tier. She's high stats and meets all Cambridge's requirements. That's a different poster, and I think she was using mid-tier as a baseline, not a target. So lick it up, Heather. (And, yes, I know this was originally to Veronica, but you're really being a Heather).[/quote]

My family attended Cambridge. It is very hard for Americans from the US to get in. You have to hugely exceed the base expectations for entry. Good luck though - always worth a punt.[/quote]

Op’s dd is a UK citizen if I am following correctly.  Probably increases the chances of admisssion significantly.[/quote]
