[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kid is American citizen but living in the UK and attending a UK high school what is admissions like? International or what?[/quote]

If the kid is there already they should know the answer to that question.[/quote]

Kid is 11 and Mom is just curious. On the flip side I’m curious about how admissions works to schools in the US for Americans living abroad. I don’t need any real answers for another 5 years or so. [/quote]

Then wait a couple of years to research this. Many things are changing due to Brexit.[/quote]

trade with Europe will change and automatic European access to UK universities. This will not have an impact on US citizens applying to UK universities.[/quote]

You don't know that.

Universities there are redoing their fees and processes for international students.[/quote]

I have a kid that is going to school in the UK. My best guess (educated but still a guess) is that the landscape for US citizens will become more favorable as the UK subsidy for EU students is likely to go away. UK schools will need to fill those slots and US parents are already expecting to pay an arm and a leg. Also the UK will allow international admits to stay two years post graduation as of 2020 intake. This is a change from the 4 months that they were allowing before. [/quote]

I'm British and I know the establishment's general attitude towards US education - that it is grossly inferior to anywhere in the UK / Europe. I'm not saying I agree with that, but it does mean that only outstanding students will continue to be accepted at UK institutions. The academic requirements are never going to be lowered to allow more US students attend, and the fees are not going to be lowered either.[/quote]
