[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If interested in UK schools, be sure to hit the APs. You'll need five 5s for oxford or Cambridge. [/quote]
Oxford only needs 3.[/quote]

That’s the minimum and most won’t be accepted with only 3. They want to see mastery of your subject and three AP’s over the course of 3/4 years isn’t enough unless they have MAJOR academic accomplishments (published research in a reputable journal, published books, etc). [/quote]
Hence the 20%-30% acceptance rate for many programs? Come on.[/quote]

AS has been explained on DCUM multiple times. In the UK you can only apply to 5 universities and you MUST have your school's approval. Oxford and Cambridge candidates are basically hand chosen by their schools. No one gets to apply who is not in the top 1% of high achievers and whose teachers approve their application. You simply cannot do it. So the 20% of applicants is 20% of the top 1% not 20% of the thousands of under qualified applicants as you might see here in the US where it is a free for all who applies, without restrictions.[/quote]

The US should be doing the same![/quote]
