[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully the UK will resist the urge to taint their educational system with professors and administrators from the US. Will only lead to a loss of standards.  [/quote]

This has to be the most idiot comment of all time. So UCL getting MIT, Princeton and Wharton economics professors means lowering the stds? Get of you UK high horse…..what a joke[/quote]

American and was referring to student admission standards.  Hopeful that the UK will not move to holistic admission standards that only serve to dilute the educational experience.  [/quote]

I dont disagree. But there is no evidence or long term study that indicates Harvard or Yale grads (from holistic admissions) have had a disadvantage in their education experience vs Oxford/Cambridge grads…..Some would argue the opposite has been true for the last 40 years. Until someone can provide a peer-reviewed study that shows any statistically significant difference in both the quality of their education and in their future earnings due to holistic admissions I will continue to call BS on whether one or the other is a better process.[/quote]
