<p>I never heard of legacy being important in the UK</p>
<p>Legacy doesnt help in Cambridge.
infact the best thing to do is go to the crappiest school you
can and hope your parents never went to University themselves and then apply through the Oxbridge Access Scheme. if legacy did came into play then there would be such a huge uproar...</p>
<p>I think he meant that legacy could help in the interview not in the admission process.</p>
<p>if it did help then as i said it would raise lots of controversy...</p>
<p>Legacy does not help for admission into UK unis.</p>
<p>And if you're looking to do business, then Cambridge does not offer the subject at undergrad.</p>
<p>but u don't really need a business degree to do business or finance... all the ibanks take ppl from all kinds of academic backgrounds</p>
<p>What is St Andrews ranking in the UK system? I have heard it is rising. What is it's reputation in Europe?</p>
<p>St Andrews has a good reputation in Europe, although it's usually ranked between #10 and #20 in the UK.</p>
<p>pearfire: I know you don't need to study business to have a career in it. But the OP says s/he wants to study business. Thus Cambridge is not an option.</p>
<p>well, if he's dead set on business, then he can forget Oxbridge and I think Imperial, too... LSE would be his best choice... but I would say that a degree in econ is prob just as good... and both Cam and Ox offer it, so it's def worth thinking about</p>
<p>Oxford has an undergraduate business degree....
called "Economics and Management" - very prestigious and difficult to get into.</p>
<p>LSE has "Accounting and Finance" as well as some others.</p>
<p>Cambridge has no undergrad business. The closest thing is it's straight econ degree.</p>
<p>UCL would be good choice too...</p>
<p>E&M at Oxford is not business... you learn about macro, micro and stuff, but not it's not about accounting or something like that... if you consider E&M a business degree, then Cam's straight econ course would be one, too...</p>

<p>E&M takes courses from Oxford's business school. It's the first program listed in the Said School of Business' homepage. Prety simple.</p>
<p>Besides, that I don't think anyone's going to believe that "Management" constitutes liberal arts students.</p>
<p>foxdie!: Just because E&M students take classes at Sa</p>
<p>what is the deadline for applying to oxford, cambridge etc.</p>
<p>For Oxbridge, generally it is 15th October for Undergraduate courses..</p>
<p>I know two E&M tutors, and about 10 E&M students, and NO it's def not a business degree... or if for some reason, u considered it a business degree, u could consider all the econ courses as business degrees. "Prety simple" lol</p>
<p>I'm in the same position... accepted to Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Glasgow so far.. still waiting on St. Andrews and I am kind of beginning to weigh the US vs. UK educational experience.</p>
<p>On another note... are Edi and Glasgow really superior to St. Andrews?? I feel like that is NOT what the American perception is at all. What makes you say that?</p>
<p>I think the American perception of St Andrews > Edinburgh is mainly because of the extensive marketing that St Andrews does in the US. If you would like to work after college in the UK, Edinburgh will most likely in my opinion, provide you with a better education mainly because of its reputation.</p>
