[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McGill is in a different league for US recruiters. St Andrew’s has quickly developed a reputation for rich American kids who didn’t get into a top 50 in the US.[/quote]

Not true at all- on the contrary St Andrews is quickly developing a reputation as an alternative for American kids (usually rich) who were also accepted to top 15-20 schools. How do I know this? I went to St Andrews and was also accepted to a T10 university in the US. My classmates from the US were also accepted to prestigious US schools (Columbia, Dartmouth, Penn, etc.) There were also US students who probably didn't get into a T20-30 university, but ended up at St Andrews.

Both McGill and St Andrews are easier to gain acceptance if you are a US student, however, that does not suggest the prestige, graduate prospectus/outcomes, and academic caliber are lower. Both schools need more US students for funding. St Andrews has the highest entry requirements if you are a UK student- as a result the student population is strong.

Competitive firms in east coast cities (DC, NYC, Boston) view St Andrews favorably. How do I know this? Myself and my friends have spoken to countless firms and recruiters when we were looking for a job.
