[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As places rich kids who couldn't get into American schools with similar pedigrees can buy their way into (especially St. Andrews, not so much McGill) [/quote]

1. They're not more expensive than any 60K+ American college, for which a lot of DCUM families are already paying.

2. St Andrews ranks significantly higher than McGill, but McGill is nothing to sneeze at.

3. Stellar academics = admittance. This is a refreshing alternative for students who don't want to be played by American exceptionalism re: extra-curriculars, geographic weight, and being pushed aside for athletes, legacies and kids of big donors.

Full pay won’t help you at any comparable American school, British schools need foreigners paying full freight. Look at people you know who went to at Andrew’s- it’s probably rich kids who had a good time in high school [/quote]

Those rich and happy kids are also HIGH SCORERS with HIGH GPAs to get into St Andrews. [/quote]
