[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.ucas.com If your kid didn't get their ED / EA and is getting rejections and wants to go to Edinburgh, St. Andrews, UCL, Bath or similar they can still apply. (Oxford and Cambs is completely done for this year). Most of the top UK universities require 3-5 AP exams at grade 5 in major-relevant subjects and if you have an SAT score to submit, it only needs to be over 1200/1300 (bare minimum). It costs around $30 to apply for 5 colleges via UCAS The Personal Statement is important for some colleges and less so for others. Some only look at grades, others use the PS as a tie breaker between similar applicants and others will look at it very closely for subject relevant understanding.[/quote] I guess there is either a UCAS PR person around here or UNIs are begging for American Students to pay their bills…[/quote] I am a parent who has been using DCUM since 2014. Some advice has been invaluable to me on these boards. My kid is going to the UK for college in the Fall and I just want to be helpful for anyone out there who is seriously considering this themselves. If you're just here to spar and berate you can find plenty of other threads where you'll get a bite.[/quote] Nice of you to try and help. Unfortunately most American kids won’t be able to hack it at a UK university. No one to hold their hand. [/quote]
