Hello, I live in the US. I am posting here today because I am particularly drawn to going to University in Scotland. I don’t know too much about it, but I know that their system is a hybrid between the English system of very focused and the American college system of liberal education. I was looking at universities such as Edinburgh or Saint Andrews, and comparing them to universities like the University of Pennsylvania. My dad says that “the University of Edinburgh and Saint Andrews are horrible compared to Penn and the American graduate programs will be much harder to get into” if I go to the Scotish schools.
Is there any evidence that these schools will make it harder to get into good graduate programs? I am particularly interested in International relations/politics/business, so I was also wondering if these schools are particularly good for these.
