Right I wasn't conducting a study or anything, just asking. But if you want it in that format, then sure.

does edinburgh have very high reputation in usa as many american students applying for this uni?
what about other british unis except oxbridge？
i want to have my master degree in usa so it would be wise to choose a uni which is highly regarded there.
Sorry for diverging the topic.

666 on Writing? Is that a legit score?

Edit: Just realized, it's also 666... :sneakydevil:

But seriously, I thought they were always rounded to zeroes or fives?

No problem. Thought maybe you were foreign and the scores were different in different countries or something :biggrin:

I know most applicants don't hear from Edinburgh until March, but do international applicants find out sooner?
