[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She heard back from St Andrews today. She was rejected. She is crushed…..Durham might be it. We will be visiting both of them next month. Any suggestions?[/quote]

Could you share her stats? Are you American?[/quote]

Yes
39 IB
2 APs self study at 5 (planning on taking 2 more after senior yr)
1500 SAT

Unconditional from Durham and Exeter. Straight rejection from St Andrews. Awaiting UCs.[/quote]

Durham bound -- good luck!  Sorry about St. A's.  That's a tough one as she looks like a strong applicant.

For next year's applicants, I *think* that applying very early (in early September) might be helpful.  It's also my guess (though I have no back up on this) that it might make sense to apply via the Common App to St. A's rather than through UCAS.  St. A's likes full paying international students, and applying via the Common App stresses that your DC will be one of those.

Of course, using the Common App for St. A's is $$ ($90? $100?) vs basically free via UCAS (L25 for five UK universities).

Good luck all![/quote]
