[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all the hate and politics surrounding colleges in the U.S., DC is very interested in Canada, UK and other schools.   Would like to study most likely business/finance or engineering. 4.0 UW and practice ACT scores of 34/35.  Any recommendations? [/quote]

Most UK top  (not all) will require at least 3 AP tests at 5. Some will ask for 5 at 5’s, others will do will a couple of 4’s and others like StA and Edinburgh and Bristol are more in tune with the different US systems and will look at your kid’s application more holistic.

For Engineering: Imperial, Bristol and Edinburgh
For Business (in UK it could be called Management, Econ Mgmt, Finance, Financial Econ, etc): Oxford, St Andrews, Warwick, LSE, UCL

You can look at the UK’s main rankings here. They rank by subject, undergrad teaching only, not about PhD Research: https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings/business-and-management-studies

[/quote]Do you need the 3-5 AP 5s OR just the ACT/SAT 35/1550? My child has the latter but has all 4s so far on APs :( I guess we can't consider any UK schools? How about Waterloo/Toronto or St. Andrews? Thanks![/quote]

Each college will have its own entry requirements. One really needs to check with each college. Very likely on their website.

At least for most UK colleges, admissions requirements vary by the specific degree sought (e.g., CS, history, math, or whatever).

Also, for colleges in England and Wales, one applies to a specific degree program - and changes of subject are difficult (a very few exceptions probably exist). In Scotland, it is easier to change subjects than it is in England, but still not as simple as it is at UMCP or UVa.

For most UK colleges, one must apply via UCAS. A few exceptions exist - for example, US students can apply to U. StAndrews without using UCAS. [/quote]
