[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted on the long St Andrew’s thread the patently obviously true fact that it’s not real selective for USA students and is a haven for boarding school and private school kids who can’t get into top USA privates.  I apparently offended folks by saying this and my post was reported and deleted. [/quote]

I also posted in the long UStA thread and agreed with you that a lot of the US kids I know of (mine included) are boarding school & private school kids. She may or may not have gotten into “top USA privates” but didn’t apply as they weren’t compelling to her. UStA was. So, I think it’s also self selective for US kids, at least to a certain degree.

Can’t believe your post was reported, that’s ridiculous. [/quote]

I agree. Definitely self selection. At our boarding school, 3 kids applied to St Andrews. 2 got in. 1 (mine) is attending. My kid had a 1480 SAT (35 ACT) and a 3.8/4 UW gpa. He was accepted at UCLA, UCSD, USC, NYU and chose St Andrews. The 3 kids that applied from our school all had similar stats. So sure, 66.6% admissions from our school, but the self selection is obvious….[/quote]
