oxford vs stanford

How do you know this isn’t true? How do you know its ignorant? Because you don2t agree with me doesn2t mean its ignorant. Have you- “I repeat”, gone through a graduate admissions process? You have never provided contrary evidence but pompously proclaim everyone’s ignorance.

</p>

<p>The burden isn’t upon me to prove your assertions are correct, by default they are assumed to be false unless you can procure some evidence. No, I have not gone through a graduate admissions process - but why is this relevant? You presumably have, yet still infer that your opinion carries the weight of a proven, independently verified fact. I don’t proclaim anyones ignorance but yours, for you continually comment on things you know little/nothing about and expect to be treated as an authority on the matter.</p>

<p>

Moreover, there is no evidence because no one conducts a survey on such matters except what All facts are anecdotal except scientific (physical or biological) facts. There is no such thing as a “fact” in reality except maybe in the sciences. All facts depend on another fact which depends on another fact . . . as Oscar Wilde would say “the truth is rarely pure and simple”

</p>

<p>Whilst I am prepared to acknowledge that evidence may be fleeting there is surely some somewhere, the question is whether you have access to it or not. Even the crudest of admission statistics would be more credible than your unsolicited opinions.</p>

<p>

Its common sense and fact that Oxbridge in the UK are the hardest schools to get into, but where is the core evidence? See the problem with asking for concrete evidence when inference is sufficent enough from a large sample size. The main issue is that you dont agree with me not the question of fact. Simple.

</p>

<p>That isn’t a fact through, that’s an opinion… </p>

<p>

No, No, No its not clear. Please do some more reading. No one knows (even people at williams college) if she applied except you. Its inferred that she applied. Unlike Emma Watson who made everyone aware when she took the SAT, there is no evidence that Princess Eugenie took the SAT. She was not keen on studying in the US and you think she is going to study for the SAT if she is not interested? She would also need SAT II scores. All that stress and then go to newcastle? Really? Does that sound logical to you?

</p>

<p>Yes it is clear. She must have applied because she was given a place. Logical or not it happened. Why do you dismiss anything you cant understand?</p>

<p>

But she had a reason for doing so. Nothing to do with how good the school is. Williams is not in the same class as Newcastle. Williams people are the ones who start Investment banks and top companies, people from red brick universities aspire to work in those banks. You get the difference between creativity and mediocrity?

</p>

<p>And yet she chose Newcastle over Williams. Are you trying to make a point here?</p>

<p>

When you misspell you confuse people.

</p>

<p>Sorry, I mistook you for someone who could make the connection that the “I” should have been an “E” without restoring to Google. My mistake.</p>

<p>

The only graduate programs in which Oxbridge is equivalent to top US schools is masters programs.

</p>

<p>Evidence? I’m not going to stop asking just because you pull some “there are no real facts” BS.</p>

<p>

Please go to a Graduate forum where students post their stats and compare grades. Observe how people from Oxbridge with first class degrees aspiring to do PhD in Physics/Chemistry/Molecular biology get rejected in droves because they cannot match international competition (Students from China and India who have superb grades and superior research experience), then comeback and start making claims that I am ignorant.

</p>

<p>You wouldn’t mind me finding me all these threads? I don’t think my search tool as a fictitious function.</p>
