<p>Thanks, this helps. My question is more what undergrad degree would position me better for admission in one of the big grad schools here at home. I’ve heard US grad schools will discriminate UK degree holders and favor Ivy Leaguers. Any truth in this? On the other hand the tutorial system in Oxford seems to be very appealing if I wanted to focus in Classics. Wouldn’t this also be taken into account at admission time? In other words, what’s more valuable for a Classics PhD prospective student in the US: (1) Oxford degree (Classics immersion) or (2) Penn (Rounded Ed + Oxford semester)???</p>
