[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oxbridge is easily T15 equivalent in the US.[/quote]
More like 15-25. But easier to get in than 15-25.

Academic rigor is great. But the same is true at Reed…[/quote]

Cambridge and Oxford 15-25 equivalent? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Cambridge is fairly universally accepted in academic circles as the nr 1 university in the world. Oxford not far behind.

Too funny.[/quote]

Are you saying that it is "universally accepted in academic circles" that Cambridge is better than Harvard and/or MIT?

Small sample but I personally know a couple of kids at both Oxford and Cambridge. We lived in the UK and we knew the kids from DC's school, they spent time in our house, vaca'ed with us. They were bright students who worked hard. But they were NOT genius or spectacular by any means. Pound for pound the kids at Oxford and Cambridge are more like our 15-25, not HYPSM.
Same for LSE btw.
Don't believe the global rankings hype.

[b]HPYSM aren't filled with geniuses[/b]. Anyone who believes so hasn't spent much time with friends at the colleges. Ultimately, an Oxford/Cambridge kid is likely going to whoop your ass in a single subject, because of the way their education is set up. An American elite student will be holistically solid, but not excellent until later in their academic journey.[/quote]
