Schools Grad School Abroad: US, Canada, or Europe?

AI Thread Summary
Choosing the right location for graduate school is crucial, with the US, Canada, and Europe being popular options. The US is highlighted as a strong choice due to its numerous prestigious universities, particularly in mathematics, which attract a significant number of international applicants. However, the competitiveness of admissions and the vast number of institutions can make the decision complex. Cambridge in the UK is also recommended for its academic reputation. Ultimately, the choice should align with individual academic qualifications and career goals, considering the diverse opportunities available in each region.

I think your best shot is probably going to the USA to study, but I don't know how much better of an option it is. I have been snooping around 15-20 grad schools math department, getting as much info as I can and it seems a lot of the top schools get half their applications from overseas.
 
If you have chance, go to Cambridge.
 
The UK.

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
