So basically, I am curious about how the Americans think of Oxbridge (Oxford and Cambridge) and what tier of school do they correspond to in the States? Maybe the ivies, or even less? A funny thing is that, I did VERY well in my Oxford interview (in which about only 40% of applicants get it and the rest got rejected already; many Oxford graduates who did mock interviews with me think I have a high chance of getting in,) but most ppl tell me according to my IBDP predicted 39/45, highly rigorous course selection (I am Chinese, chose English A literature and French B, and French is my 5th language spoken), good EC (Play in the National Youth Orchestra and Oxford Uni’s Auditioned Orchestra, Went to YYGS, Have national maths awards, speak multiple languages and lived in 3 continents ) I can only apply to US 30-50 unis… (My counsellor wanted me to apply to Mt.Holyoke for ED2 and said Midd for ED2 is ridiculous, she thinks she is an expert in US uni though just a sarcastic British woman) Sure…
thanks so much, I’m wondering if I have gone too aggressive in replying college mom? I mean Oxford releases its results a bit after ED2 ddl, so I really have to decide what to do and what she said does not help… Thanks so much again
