It is not so easy to pick any of them. Both Oxford University and MIT are world-class institutions. Almost every student wants to study in any of them, but they excel in different subjects.
- The Oxford University in UK, is renowned for humanities, social sciences, and research tradition, offering a broad education.
- On the other hand, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in USA is globally famous for STEM, engineering, and technology innovation.
In short, the better institute for you totally depends on your interest of study and career goals, rather than overall prestige.

MIT is arguably the best university in the world, but with an acceptance rate of 4.5%, students must demonstrate excellence in all aspects of their education, not just school and college level academics, but good grades in standardized test scores such as SAT or ACT, language tests and more.
Also an active participation in academic and non-academic events like hackathons, community meet ups, events that highlight your leadership skills and ability to work in large groups can greatly improve your MIT application and give you the best possible chance of admission.
