[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is applying through UCAS this fall. He wants to apply to: 1. Oxford 2. UCL 3. St Andrews 4. Edinburgh 5. Bristol or Exeter If he picks 5 spots on UCAS, can he apply to St Andrews direct as the 6th spot?[/quote] Which course?[/quote] A couple of different ones depending on the uni, but basically: Management/Economics, Financial Economics/Management, Management/Innovation, etc…. We have visited all 6 of them. UCL was the only London uni he is considering because he was influenced by his cousin who went to school there. He has spent 2 weeks with his cousin a year ago. He thought LSE was just cold….We understand housing in London is tough. Housing is also tough to a lesser extent in Bristol and St Andrews after 1st year. As far as campuses, he liked Exeter campus the best. It is the one campus that is the most similar to an American campus. He loved how quaint St Andrews was. Loves how lively the cities of Edinburgh and Bristol are…. And Oxford….it is Oxford. He already has 3 APs with 5’s from last year. Awaiting scores of 4 more. He thinks he got 5’s on all. We were told St Andrews says that if you have applied to any other school though UCAS, you need to use UCAS.[/quote] What is the Appeal for Bristol and Exeter with these subjects?[/quote] Bristol has an amazing multidisciplinary Innovation program that can be added to several degrees, including their Business degree. They are spending a ton of money on this new state of the art facility that will house not only the Business School, but also their Innovation program. It is also a cool town. Exeter is a beautiful campus setting. Very American like. Their business school is really good and several of their subjects are ranked in their league table top 10. Plus my son surfs and you are close to some of the best surfing in the UK. :-)[/quote] Thank you for the info. We just looked at this: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/innovation/undergrad-masters/ It is a really neat program. In 4 years you get a BS and a MsC in Innovation alongside whatever major you select. Very cool set up.[/quote]
