<p>It’s certainly worthwhile applying for a US school if you have the stats. US uni study is different than Oxbridge. Oxbridge you are admitted into a course of study, and that’s pretty much all you study. US unis, for the most part, admit you into a school, not a major. In addition to your major, which often changes, you study courses outside your major, often to meet distribution requirements.</p>
