<p>lets save me some pain. Everything is “my opinion” not a fact. Nothing you say can change my conviction. Interesting, last year interviewed for a Phd program with two Cambridge Physics graduates with both first class. They got rejected from the program I applied to and the professor told me one of the reasons was because of their lack of significant research experience. While a large number of American graduates would have publications, this is absent in the typical scheme of most international graduates. It would make sense why Americans are more competitive applicants. Graduate school is usually about research experience even in the UK</p>

<p>Nah, just that she chose Newcastle over williams, the same may Watson “chose” brown over cambridge</p>

<p>Your loss. It seems you skipped independent research 101 and logic 101. Go and find out the requirements for a top US PhD. Go and find out the requirements for a top UK PhD. Now combine those two together, which one do you think is harder? </p>
<p>In addition, do me a favor. Go on google. Search for admission results for people who applied to schools in both countries. Then comeback.</p>
