Come on, a lot of us have worked with Oxford colleagues in consulting and finance on joint projects (uk placements and in the us) and American hypsm in American offices are LOT stronger

Im truly puzzled why Oxford is ranked so high

You're probably too provincial. The great thing about Oxford is it doesn't consider legacies or athletes in their admissions unlike hypsm. That is a distinctly American practice.

Another LOL. You people are funny this morning.

UVA is ranked outside of top 100. Ouch.

UVA is not known outside of VA and especially outside of US.

A foreigner who has worked with both. The Americans are much more impressive than the Oxbridge people.

Sorry, but that Doesn’t make you an expert on world ranking of universities

This is obviously a list focused on research, not undergraduate education quality.

I don't know anything about global university rankings.

But personally, I am much more impressed with students coming out of elite schools in the US than anything elsewhere, including Cambridge and Oxford. I work with multilaterals and financial whatnot. So, come across these people all the time.

Also, the acceptance rates in UK can be misleading. Most top universities in UK have a minimum benchmark in terms of grades you need to have even to be considered for a program. Unless one has A or A* some of the programs will not even look at the application.
