Current Harvard/Wharton student depressed about Oxford being more prestigious

Lowkey sad I go to Harvard/Wharton and wish I’d applied to Oxford instead. I scroll through r/6thform and look at rankings like THE and QS and keep seeing Oxford ranked above Harvard/Wharton and it’s making me super insecure 😭 Seriously, go on r/6thform on Reddit or r/UniUK or Quora and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I wasn’t aware of the UK’s superior status to the US.

Is it over for me or can I still go to Oxford and Cambridge for my masters (like two masters, one from each)?

Feeling very screwed right now.

No, this is very serious business. OP, it was over from the moment you accepted that letter of admission. Should've known Oxford (SSS++ btw) was the way to go instead of an F-tier school like Wharton/Harvard, both of which are clearly for bottom bucket nobodies. Seriously, quit monkeying around, pick up your marbles, and go home. The City would swallow you whole and shit you back out. Then, if you wish really really hard upon your luckiest star, you might get a chance to apply to Oxbridge. Admission not guaranteed.
