[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, great opportunity to get in one those schools for any kid here that would be a t20-t50 admit. [/quote]

This is how we are looking at it at our household with our 3 kids (two Juniors and one Freshman). Following the OP’s list:

1. Oxford/Cambridge - If not accepted to any IVY or MIT/Stanford, then these two.
2. Imperial/LSE - Same as above, but add Berkeley and a few others.
3. UCL/St Andrews/Edinburgh - If not accepted to any t20, then UCL/St Andrews
4. King’s/Durham - If best US acceptance is in between any t25-t50, we would pick Kings/Durham
5. Warwick/Bristol/Exeter/Bath - If best US school is t-50 and up, that these would be prioritized.

Obviously this is just a general guidelines that we have discussed internally. We would clearly focus on each subject and fit. but the general idea stays. US schools are way too expensive to pass up these cheaper UK options. [/quote]

We are basically following the above, which we changed slightly for our Junior applying this year.[/quote]
