[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the poster who said that Saint Andrews wasn’t all that selective and was reported and deleted for daring to say that lol. I don’t want to say too much, but I do know a family where all of the kids went to Saint Andrews from the DMV. They were smart kids but not superstars. None was accepted top schools.  Denied in state UVA etc.  So I do have more than just the theoretical knowledge about this.[/quote]

+1. It’s an NYU/BC level school, which is perfectly fine. No need to oversell it.[/quote]

What makes you say it's an NYU/BC level school? There is no evidence to back this.

People on this thread need a masterclass on perspective vs perception. [/quote]

Because it is almost certain with a 1320 SAT optional minimum and a 60% acceptance rate that their 25th-75th percentile looks a lot like those schools pre-test optional. Perhaps even lower than those schools, I would say that’s probably the upper bound.

You're making a large assumption here- that the entrance for US students to St Andrews correlates to its overall prestige, academic excellence, and graudate propsectus.. it does not. St Andrews has one of/if not the hardest entry requirements for UK students. It's easier for American students to gain acceptance. It's graduate prospectus is top 3-4 according to the league tables.

The acceptance rate is inflated for multiple reasons already outlines in this thread (entry requirements, self selection. etc).
