[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a really good school? Or is it a school where kids go because they didn't get into "good/prestigious" US schools?[/quote] St Andrews and McGill are great safeties because their admissions are exam-based and therefore highly predictable. American schools are more likely to (1) require weighted GPAs that private schools don’t allow and/or (2) play games with yield, which makes them unpredictable. Maybe some face-saving too, but I think it’s mostly the predictability. [/quote]
