What colleges don't care about extracurriculars?

mountainsoul - Well, my qualm about Oxbridge was that I’ve read somewhere that they don’t really like taking on American undergraduates - I think because British students specialize to some extent pre-college, and therefore are more advanced in their particular studies when they enter the university, as compared with American students. I also have the impression that it would be difficult to change your concentration (or whatever they call it) midstream. Plus, I think their college experience is over within three years, and I’d really like ds to have that fourth year somewhere, if only to grow up a bit more. All that said - I’ve idly looked at colleges in Scotland and Ireland, which I think are four-year programs, and which may offer the American-type of experience of having an easy time switching majors. So … yeah, we’re definitely not ruling out international options. But I’m wondering what good American options might be!
