[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t say or imply anything about the percentage of English vs. Scottish students at Edinburgh or St Andrew’s. I simply provided a caveat about using UCAS tariffs as a metric when comparing at Scottish universities. The earlier comment referred to Glasgow and Strathclyde as having higher average UCAS tariff scores than Oxford and Cambridge. I just noted that Glasgow and Strathclyde aren’t seen as harder to get into than Oxford or Cambridge. That’s not exactly a controversial opinion. I attended Glasgow and my brother attended Strathclyde - both good schools, but no-one is claiming they are tougher admits than Oxbridge…[/quote] And they shouldn’t claim so. Someone in the other thread posted about this. UCAS Tariffs cannot be looked at it on its own. It is ok to look at it, but it must in conjunction with every other variable that is pertinent to the applicant.[/quote]
