[quote=Anonymous]One point about British schools: unlike American universities you have to sit exams at the end of your 3 or in the case of St. Andrews four year program. British employers will view those exams results. For those not tracking the top score is first, 2.1 and 2.2. Most Americans struggle with the format of the exam - and receive a 2.1 or 2.2. It’s like wanting to be a professional golfer but not getting an early enough start. Upside - no grades really ‘count’ during your years of study - but man do those last weeks of exams count. Something to factor in when making your decision. Also if you are interested in St Andrew’s, William and Mary has a cool 2 years in Scotland, 2 years in Williamsburg program...which could be a nice compromise.[/quote]
