[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although St Andrews has the highest UCAS tariff of the 3 [b]Stockbridge[/b] universities its application process (common app) is familiar and the 4 year degree offers some flexibility in terms of double majoring.

That and a $20-$30K per year discount over a number of US choices and St Andrews becomes a very attractive option for an independent kid.  [/quote]

:D come on now[/quote]

Come on all you want. For UK students it is just as hard to get in St Andrews. It is a fact. You might not like it. But it is true.[/quote]

Maybe that’s true - it’s a small university and it takes a lot of international students? But it is nowhere near as desirable for UK students as Oxbridge and its reputation is nowhere close in the UK. It’s totally fine that you like it and that it’s popular with Americans but it is not in the same league as Oxbridge. I can tell you that as a student in a top school in London  in 1990/2000s, only one student in my class of 120 wanted to go to St Andrews (she was friends with Prince William and that was why!) and now that my friends have kids of this age in top schools in London it is similar.
