英国的大学真是个笑话。
我们正在为我孩子的本科入学申请进行准备。他们的招生选拔方式看起来很奇怪。
他们需要在大约五月或六月之前完成选拔过程，以便为九月份的入学做准备。但是，10+2的考试结果要到八月中旬才会公布，而考试是在六月进行的。一些大学有自己的评估测试，但大多数大学是根据高年级老师提供的“预测成绩”来发放录取通知的。
这真是荒谬，考虑到这些大学是创新的地方和人类进步的中心。他们竟然找不到解决处理时间的方法。为什么不能在四月进行10+2考试，五月公布结果，然后再开始本科申请流程呢？不，他们通过用预测成绩来替代10+2的结果来打破对其的依赖。真聪明！
此外，如果你支付国际学费，他们似乎很乐意提供录取。一旦你透露你有资格享受本地学费，他们的热情就减弱了。国际学费大约是本地学费的四倍。
课程和教师是另一个话题。可供选择的不同课程数量几乎与学生人数相当。同一位教师为多所大学授课。教学和学生工作大多已经转移到线上。大学排名似乎也存在操控的嫌疑。

So, we are going through the undergrad admissions for my kid. The way how they select their intake looks bizarre.<p>They need to complete their selection process by around May/June for the Sept admissions. But the 10+2 results won't come out until mid August though exams happen in June. A few colleges have their own assessment tests. But most colleges make offers based on "Predicted grades" given by the senior-school teacher.<p>This is ridiculous, given these colleges are places of innovation and centers of human progress. They could not find a way around their processing times. Why can't they have 10+2 exams in April, results in May and undergrad process begin after that? No. They break the dependency on 10+2 results by replacing it with predictions. How clever!<p>Also, they appear to be keen to make an offer if you are paying international fees. Once you disclose that you are eligible for the home fees, they are less keen. International fees are about 4 times the home fees.<p>Courses and teachers are another topic. The number of different courses available is almost comparable to the number of students. Same teacher works for many colleges. Teaching and student work has mostly moved online. College rankings appear rigged.
