[quote=Anonymous][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]
Harvard, UChicago, Georgetown, Hopkins, Columbia-Sciences Po joint program.[/quote]

PP's point remains, the kid applied to yale and Oxford and, I'm sure, a whole bunch of other schools. if they choice had to made from ACCEPTED spots and those were Oxford  and say, the Columbia Sciences Po joint, who wouldn't choose Oxford? It's better and cheaper! Very limited FA for the Columbia two years in that program fwiw, and it's a diploma from the General Studies program. I like it, but Oxford is better and cheaper. I'd choose it over everything you listed except Harvard [/quote]
All the others give financial aid, though. I'm also unconvinced that Oxford is better.[/quote]
