[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know if it matters if you apply w common app or UCAS? Could easily do either [/quote]

My suggestion is neither.
Common App just shows you are capable to clicking on  another “send button”.
UCAS if you are applying to more unis than just St Andrews is ok.

But the preference would be the direct application. It shows you took the time to craft a specific application. Not only that, but I live the direct application allows for 100-200 words more in the essay that can be specifically tailored to St Andrews vs UCAS.

Just a tip (wink wink).[/quote]

I would beg to disagree. UCAS is the preferred route. 
The problem with common App + ucas being used at the same time, is that if you get an acceptance via the Common App it will alert UCAS and they will cancel your applications through them.[/quote]

Direct Application is the BEST route. It gives your a the opportunity to really craft the personal stmt to St A and you get about 150 extra words vs UCAS line limit.[/quote]

An extra 150 words on a page that allows for 4000 is moot.
Also why apply direct when you can scoop up some other applications for the costly sum of 30 pounds and expand your potential horizons

Oxford
Cambridge
Imperial
LSE

etc[/quote]

Not when you are applying to a school that really cares about the Personal Stmt more than Oxbridge. Plus you can craft it specifically for StA and still use UCAS for another 4 unis. That is what we did.[/quote]
