[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many here still deciding between UK vs US for those whose kids have been accepted to both?[/quote]

My son just decided this weekend that St Andrews was it.  His top US choices were Emory, NYU and BC. Dad is a BC/NYU alum and is not yet convinced. I’m an Emory grad and I’m 100% behind him. He was accepted to double major (Joint Honors) Math and Financial Economics.[/quote]

Congratulations, word of caution maths ( yes they pluralize it) in UK is much more advanced than most universities in the US.  Might want to take a close look at first year modules and do some prep work over the summer. [/quote]

Thanks. Yes, my son is aware. Math is his thing. He had 5’s on Calc BC as a Junior. Then took Diff Equations and Abstract Algebra at the local university in his Senior year since he maxed out in his HS. Unfortunately his 800 on the SAT Math and his grades were enough for Ivies. He is about to finish Diff Eq and Abstract Algebra with a 98 avg. But his ECs were just ok. Emory/NYU and BC saw that, but his two Ivies + MIT didnt care about his 1580 and 98/100 GPA UW.[/quote]
