Why is the american application system so different to other countries?

There are literally rugs in Ireland older than this country still completely intact and useable. There are millions of other great unstitutions of hogher leatning outside the us which individually have been around for thousands of years! Trinity college of Dublin, Cambridge, Oxford, etc. </p>
