I have the same feeling as you. UK universities (except Oxbridge and other top U's) like to recruit overseas student. My son applied Edinburgh as a safety university. According to their website, typical offer for his applied subject is IB 37 points. After application submitted for a while, he received Edinburgh's request for him to confirm that his tuition fee status is "overseas". After he confirmed his fee status, he received a conditional offer of IB 34, explicitly stating the condition that this conditional offer is valid if his fee status is "overseas".

Your son take IB in six form, so this U acceptance point is 37 or 34?

Typical offer is IB 37. But his offer is IB 34, because he will pay tuition fee of overseas student.
Out of 5 universities applied, only Edinburgh's offer deviates much from the "typical offer" published on the university website. Other 4 UK universities (more prestigious ones) give conditional offers at expected IB score as published on their websites.

I hope you realize that most Scottish universities normally require 4 years at undergrad level whereas English universities only require 3 years. Other things being equal, that is 1/3 more in fees!

Yes, we were well aware of this fact. In fact, U of Edinburgh has a lot of elective courses to choose from besides the core requirements of the courses related to the major. That's why it needs 4 years to graduate. The academic system is a bit like the universities in HK and US, rather than that in the other parts of UK which just focusing on the courses in the major.

It sounds as if your kid is not interested in going to Edinburgh. By the way, I do not realize it is possible to receive 5 conditional offers. I thought one can hold no more than 2!

We can have 5 choices in UCAS. So it's possible to receive 5 conditional offers. But the student needs to choose one firm offer & one insurance offer before the deadline (usually in May or June).
My son didn't choose Edinburgh as firm or insurance.
