The               World's               Top               Universities               Ranking
As               the               world               stage               shrinks               and               the               English               language               dominates               business,               highly               qualified               students               seek               international               experience.

What               are               the               strengths               and               weaknesses,               the               similarities               and               the               differences               among               them,               say,               Harvard               and               Cambridge?

Stanford               and               Oxford?

MIT               and               Imperial               College               London?

U.S.

News               &               World               Report               and               the               QS               World               University               Rankings               are               widely               regarded               as               the               top               sources               for               ranking               the               best               universities,               colleges               and               graduate               schools               in               America               and               throughout               the               world.

It               comes               as               no               surprise               that               for               the               past               several               years,               the               top               15               are               all               located               in               two               countries:               the               United               States               and               the               United               Kingdom.

What               does               this               mean               for               students               who               are               considering               both               countries               for               a               university               career?

Specialization               is               the               main               difference               
               In               the               U.K.

most               students               specialize               in               just               two               or               three               subjects               in               the               final               two               years               of               their               secondary               education.

While               American               colleges               and               universities               embrace               undergraduate               generalists,               Great               Britain's               universities               pride               themselves               on               producing               experts               in               any               given               field.

Although               long               popular               in               the               U.S.,               Liberal               Arts               does               not               exist               as               a               university               choice               in               Great               Britain.

In               American               universities               one               is               exposed               to               a               range               of               subjects               outside               one's               major,               while               the               undergraduate               major               in               the               U.K.

must               be               declared               before               even               applying.

Therefore,               early               specialization               in               the               U.K.

affects               high               school               applicants               and               it               is               something               for               American               students               to               consider.

English               students               must               narrow               down               their               subject               choices               at               age               14               and               then               further               narrow               that               down               at               16.

By               age               17,               they               are               expected               to               choose               their               major,               which               is               a               mandatory               part               of               the               university               application               process.

When               U.K.

students               take               final               exams               for               university               admission,               known               as               A-levels,               in               the               Sixth               Form               (the               equivalent               of               junior               and               senior               year               combined),               they               have               already               narrowed               down               their               courses               of               study.

A               budding               history               major               might               supplement               that               subject               with               English               Literature,               Religious               Studies,               Economics               and               a               foreign               language,               for               example.

A               future               doctor               may               choose               Chemistry,               Biology               and               Further               Maths,               perhaps.

It               is               well-known               that               History,               English,               Economics,               Medicine               and               Law               are               the               most               competitive               undergraduate               courses               in               the               U.K.,               especially               at               the               top               universities,               so               students               must               take               this               into               consideration               when               applying.

The               U.K.

produces               specialists;               even               engineering,               law,               architecture               and               medicine               are               taken               up               at               undergraduate               level.

However,               one               is               not               as               readily               exposed               to               the               range               of               subjects               that               are               available               to               American               students.
               Age               Matters               and               Teaching               Styles               Differ               
               Young               people               are               legally               adults               at               age               18               in               the               U.K.

As               a               "fresher"               (freshman)               students               can               legally               drink,               drive,               vote,               pay               bills,               work,               travel,               study               and               live               independently               in               a               cosmopolitan               city.

This               is               exceedingly               clear               as               reflected               in               limited               face-to-face               classroom               time               with               faculty               members.

Roughly               eight               hours               per               week               of               class               time               is               common.

Much               more               time               is               spent               on               independent               study               and               producing               work               at               one's               own               pace.

Self-motivation               is               critical.

As               a               result,               many               students               do               work               part-time               or               become               involved               in               campus               activities.

At               American               universities,               the               class               time               is               far               more               intensive               and               students               develop               stronger               bonds               with               professors.

With               30               hours               of               class               per               week,               finding               time               for               activities,               sports               and               clubs               is               more               of               a               challenge.

British               universities               may               not               be               ideal               for               those               who               find               it               difficult               to               self-motivate               or               who               lack               discipline               when               faced               with               the               challenges               of               settling               in               on               one's               own               without               falling               behind               on               coursework.
               Campus               Culture               
               Many               top               British               universities               are               located               is               in               the               heart               of               a               dynamic,               multicultural               city,               such               as               London,               Manchester,               Birmingham,               Nottingham,               Bristol,               Oxford               or               Cambridge,               to               name               a               few.

At               Oxbridge               (as               Oxford               and               Cambridge               are               jointly               called)               the               individual               colleges               do               have               quads               of               their               own               within               the               university               and               some               universities               do               have               campuses.

However,               in               the               capital               city               a               student               is               just               another               young               Londoner               riding               the               tube               and               struggling               to               pay               rent               for               a               tiny               apartment               in               a               vast,               expensive               city.

At               many               American               university               campuses               there               is               more               of               a               bubble               effect,               a               distinction               between               town               and               gown,               as               it               were.

In               England,               students               are               street-smart               and               independent,               but               on               the               flipside,               they               have               less               pride,               a               looser               attachment,               to               their               school.

The               Stanford               culture,               for               example,               is               hard               to               ignore               on               campus               or               in               downtown               Palo               Alto.

You               can               detect               a               Stanford               student               anywhere               by               the               trademark               cardinal               red               college               T-shirt,               bicycle...and               willingness               to               talk               to               anyone               who'll               listen               to               their               latest               startup               idea.

While               fees               are               about               to               rise               in               the               U.K.

It               is               terribly               important               to               be               prepared               to               speak               passionately               at               interview               about               one's               subject,               which               must               be               declared               prior               to               the               autumn               application               deadlines.

English               students               must               have               their               ducks               in               a               row               by               age               16,               so               it               is               wise               for               able               and               ambitious               American               students               to               plan               early               if               interested               in               attending               one               of               the               top               20               British               universities,               which               are               known               as               the               Russell               Group.

Furthermore,               all               applications               in               the               U.K.

are               done               through               UCAS,               a               centralized               clearinghouse               and               each               student               is               allowed               only               a               handful               of               applications.
               Can               I               apply               to               the               U.K.

with               my               SAT               scores?


               Yes.

You               do               not               have               to               take               the               A-levels               that               U.K.

students               need               for               admission               but               you               will               need               to               apply               via               UCAS.

The               British               universities               will               understand               your               SAT               scores,               AP               courses               and               your               personal               statement,               which               counts               heavily.

Personal               statements               are               different               than               in               the               USA;               they               are               about               your               reasons               to               pursue               a               field               of               study               rather               than               about               your               own               experiences.

In               addition,               some               courses               have               their               own               examinations,               for               example               the               History               Aptitude               Test.

Interviews               are               important               and               may               be               offered               to               you               in               the               U.S.

or               abroad.

The               deadline               for               Oxbridge               applications               is               October               15,               a               couple               of               months               earlier               than               for               the               other               U.K.

universities               and               for               Oxbridge               you               must               select               the               college               within               the               university               you               are               applying               to,               alternatively               go               for               open               admission               to               any               college.

Each               college               has               its               own               culture,               location               and               strengths,               so               there               is               a               lot               to               know               prior               to               applying.

Results               are               typically               mailed               out               earlier               than               in               the               U.S.,               Oxford               replies               in               December,               Cambridge               in               January               and               others               even               earlier,               depending               on               how               soon               you               submit               your               application.

Check               out               thestudentroom.co.uk               to               join               active               forums               and               get               advice               from               other               students               about               the               whole               process.

It               is               an               excellent               resource.
               Most               of               all,               the               best               of               luck               to               you!
