[quote=Anonymous]Apart from the collusion issue (which I think is a real obstacle), a key difference that makes it quite hard to import the UK system to the US is the US colleges' and universities' unwillingness to post entry requirements or guidelines. When you apply to a school in the UK, the university tells you the general minimum qualifications required for an offer. This has a natural winnowing effect that makes selecting only five unis to apply to more of a sure thing for applicants at every level. Secondly, there is a LOT more gatekeeping by secondary school counselors. This cuts down significantly on the YOLO applications but I think most American parents would find it intolerable. [/quote]
