[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Andrews gives zero boost. Even UVA and heck Penn State has more pull in some parts of America than St. Andrews does on a resume. The average American guy on the street, and hence the average hiring manager, wouldn’t be able to place it on a map.[/quote]

Penn State? Come on, you're just a troll

Lmao St Andrews grads just are not working in like... supply chain management in suburban Pennsylvania... or other areas or fields where hiring managers don't know abt one of the top universities in the UK. St Andrews grads have international, cosmopolitan backgrounds, and opt for NYC, London, other global cities. The top fields that St Andrews grads go into are consulting and financial sector.

It's cliche, but choosing a college is about finding the right fit. Penn State isn't normally a dream school, but could be a great fit for those from PA wanting in-state tuition, rah rah types into college sports, those doing engineering/CS etc. St Andrews is a choice for a student who's a bit more refined, sophisticated, independent. StA is the opposite of a frat school[/quote]

I think I just barfed in my mouth. And I’m an undergrad alum of an Ivy. St Andrew’s is gross and nowhere near as good a school as they so desperately pretend to be.[/quote]

ivy undergrad how amazing, but never learned to distinguish penn from penn state :([/quote]

I don't think you know what you're trying to say. My comment wasn't about Penn State (or Penn, for that matter). It was about [I]your[/I] incredibly pretentious, off-putting and frankly embarrassing remarks about St Andrews.[/quote]
