[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Andrews/Trinity are both safeties.

Oxbridge and Imperial are for the kids with top stats.[/quote]

In America….because they like your money.

In the UK Trinity is several  steps below St Andrews. [b]Here in the UK, getting in St Andrews is just as difficult as getting in Oxbridge. [/b]Even harder on some subjects. You Americans have it easy.[/quote]

This is ridiculously untrue. St. Andrews is nowhere near Oxbridge in the UK. I'd be virtually any amount of money you're American.[/quote]

You're absolutely clueless, aren't you? Loads of RUK kids, including my own, get into Oxford and get rejected by St. Andrews. It happens all the time, love. If you can't wrap your head around that, don't worry about it. Just stay in your American bubble. it's definitely easier for you lot, but it's a completely different ballgame for us RUK students over here.

 It is around the same level as Trinity, in no way above it![/quote]

For US students sure….Here in the UK, I’m sorry….St Andrews is way ahead of Trinity….in my circles in London, very few kids even look at Trinity….[/quote]

Im From Dublin, my sister in Law taught at Trinity. But this is true, even here, nobody compares Trinity to St Andrews. It might be comparable for Americans,  but even here we see St Andrews as a step above Trinity.[/quote]
