@Dodgers1, St As has been actively recruiting in the US for the last few years, so it is not surprising that the GCs you know are more familiar with it. StAs has also adjusted a number of elements in the application and enrollment process specifically to make it more accessible to American students. On the other side, I have noted that some of the English people I know can be slightly sniffy about (Scottish) StAs, downplaying it’s exemplary rankings. On balance, I’m agreeing with your conclusion, and sticking with there isn’t much in the toss, and there are better bases for making a choice.
