<p>I don’t know for sure, but in the UK (and India?) don’t you specialize in high school, whereas in the US you don’t specialize until college. US colleges are much more “liberal-artsy” and give you more breadth in many areas whereas I’m pretty sure UK universities give you more depth in a single subject (don’t quote me though I didn’t apply to any UK universities. I just looked on the Oxford? or maybe Cambridge? lol I don’t even remember… website and this is what it seemed like). I hope this answer helps a bit until better answers come along?</p>
