<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I am a senior student from Asia and plan to apply to both universities in the Uk - Oxbridge and in the USA - The Ivy League. In addition to others....</p>

<p>In terms of field of study, I am starting to tend towards the Social Sciences; Economics, Business..... But naturally care about reputation and brand name as well</p>

<p>Many have told me that the Uk is better for UGRAD education as they place a good emphasis on undergraduate, whereas the US universities place more on RESEARCH AND GRADUATE Programs and have undergraduate degrees which are more general and broad. (hence one program being 3 and the other 4 years..)</p>

<p>As a senior student here I have had a braod education, taking 11 subjects in my senior year. (all of which would be equivalent to or near Honors level)</p>

<p>Which would be better if you have both, and NO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES?</p>

<p>I really dont know where I want to work, but I have a European passport and a green card so i am keep to work in the west. I am well aware that going to the Uk does not stop one from working in the US and vice versa but do they in some way handicap you ?</p>

<p>Thank you very much in advance for your help!</p>

<p>How about you apply to both and see where you get in? At this level, only a privileged few get to pick an choose.</p>

<p>BTW, you can only apply to one out of Oxford and Cambridge. Try LSE as well. How are your stats?</p>
