<p>Well you named a couple of them right there. King’s is part of the university of london…Imperial used to be. UCL is also well-regarded as is Warwick, Durham, LSE and quite a few others.</p>
<p>Are they hard to get into like Cambridge?</p>
<p>I will see how I do on my other APs and that will most likely determine if I apply to Oxbridge. But I hear you can’t apply to both, Is that true?
Why not?</p>
<p>I mean I may get blasted on this, but I like Oxbridge so much because it is historically fascinating(not prestige),So I can go WOW,Francis Bacon and Issac Newton went here not to mention IMO they are still the most academically the strongest colleges in the world. I would easily pick it over every University in the United Sates, except MIT, Then again MIT has a Cambridge Exchange. </p>
<p>If I go to grad school I will definably apply as well. </p>
<p>So basically I need 2100+ on SATs and as many 5s on APs as possibles to have a shot?</p>
<p>Imperial, UCL, and LSE are still pretty tough to get into, but not as difficult as Oxbridge. The next tier is a bit easier…and outside the top 10 a lot of schools will accept moderate international candidates for their money (at least in my opinion). And you are correct…you can only apply to one. There are numerous threads on here that list the reasons why.</p>

<p>Stats get your application noticed and are what gets you invited to an interview, but it’s the interview that actually gets you admitted. Also, unlike most US college interviews these interviews are academically rigorous affairs, not just some fluffy ‘so tell me about yourself’ bit.</p>
<p>US undergraduate admission to Cambridge is very difficult, although not impossible (but they generally admit less than 10 per year). As much as we don’t like to hear it (even though the stats make it quite clear), our high school educational system is quite a bit behind many other parts of the world so it’s often hard for US students to compete. Cambridge suggests that US students stand a better chance of being admitted to an undergraduate course there after completing a year or two at a US university:</p>
<p>“To apply for a Cambridge undergraduate course after a year spent in suitable preparation at an American university.” </p>

<p>imperial college is ranked higher than oxford and although not as prestigious, requires the same, if not higher, qualifications than oxford.</p>
<p>The Oxford prospectus provides detailed breakdowns of acceptance rate by subject, college and citizenship. Only about 9% of US applicants are accepted…far far lower than applicants from say Australia (25%), South Korea (20%), and so on. I imagine there are similar stats for Cambridge.</p>
<p>
No. If you’re looking for ‘rather easy’ schools to get into, I don’t recommend Cambridge.</p>
<p>Is it easier to get in for smaller majors like modern/medieval languages?</p>
