[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St Andrews, McGill are for smart (not top) kids from privates who are full pay but get shut out of the top 25/50 for whatever reason - lame EC, too many peers also full play + legacy or ECs, not a recruited athlete. There are only so many spots at the top schools for each school, even though they claim it’s untrue. The top kids now can’t get into ivies now, and top 20 is even dicey. Then these kids end up at the tufts, Emory’s, michigans which is where smart but not top kids would have gone. Now those kids who are smart but not top may not even get into the respectable schools like BC/BU anymore…. And they don’t want to go to Denison or Trinity or JMI after busting their butts for four years at privates. St Andrew and McGill are really great schools and studying abroad for four years is an appealing experience for some. [/quote] My kid chose St Andrews instead of Georgetown, Michigan and NYU.
