The USA is way bigger than the UK. People are looking for a smaller group to belong to so they can stand out.

Also, what is the admissions system like there? pardon me if I butcher this, but aren't you somewhat constrained by test scores as to where you can apply and go? I mean, even if I bombed my SAT's I can still apply to Harvard if I want to. They can throw my app in the trash and laugh hard, but I can apply there. What I am trying to say is you choose the school, it doesn't choose you.
