I was looking at an article in New York Times on Oxford shirt. Then went to the oxford website and am amused to learn than Oxford (true to its tradition) is in old world style - demarcating students based on their nationalities - poor nations have it harder.
Never mind that in the world of globalization , even Chinese and Indians and perhaps South Africans can take SAT exams (Oxford thinks that only USA students can take SAT - thus only US students are allowed to take SATs ). Harvard allows Indian students (and of other nations to apply on the basis of their SAT scores). "SAT 1 scores of at least 1,400 in Critical Reading and Mathematics and preferably also 700 or more in the new Writing Paper, giving a combined score of at least 2,100. OR ACT with a score of at least 32 out of 36. AND Grades 4 or 5 in two or more Advanced Placement tests in appropriate subjects OR SAT II in a good spread of three or four subjects at 700 or better." http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate_courses/international_students/international_qualifications/index.html Umesh Sharma Washington D.C. 1-202-215-4328 [Cell] Ed.M. - International Education Policy Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard University, Class of 2005 http://www.uknow.gse.harvard.edu/index.html (Edu info) http://hbswk.hbs.edu/ (Management Info) www.gse.harvard.edu/iep (where the above 2 are used ) http://harvardscience.harvard.edu/ http://jaipurschool.bihu.in/ __________________________________________________________ Not happy with your email address?.
