[quote=Anonymous]PP here, the other thing is that the UK system is much more metrics/test-score focused and, as others have mentioned, doesn't take into account extracurricular and other activities that U.S. universities value. Much of the admissions in UK is determined by performance on the A-level exams. If students bomb it, their hopes of attending a particular university will be dashed. It's a lot more all-or-nothing than here. [/quote]
