Admission to study abroad england

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a freshman at a top 6 liberal arts school. I am planning to do study abroad fall junior year in England and was wondering how hard it is to gain admission for study abroad in England. </p>

<p>Basically, how hard is it to get into (Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick, St. Andrews, UCL, Lancaster, Imperial College, London School of Economics, Loughborough, York, SOAS, Leicester, Bath, Exter, Edinburgh)? </p>

<p>My GPA isn't the highest so where is there an okay chance and where would it be hard? 3.4 GPA maybe.</p>

<p>Also, how do I apply for study abroad? Do I apply after sophomore year, after 1st semester sophomore year? (I am planning to go in the fall of junior year).</p>

<p>I don’t know much about study abroad but my friend has a really great blog about it, check it out:
[The</a> Uni Guide](<a href=“http://theuniguide.■■■■■■■■■■/]The”>http://theuniguide.■■■■■■■■■■/)</p>

<p>St Andrews and Edinburgh aren’t in England. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Your LAC may have a program set up for you to do a semester abroad at one of the universities on your list.
Check you school’s website.</p>

<p>How hard is it to gain admission? When do you start applying?</p>

<p>I would imagine that the low GPA would rule you out of the Top echelon of British (not English - get it right ffs) universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, LSE, SOAS, Imperial. You should be fine for Exter and places like that.</p>

<p>What about UCL? Do they care that I go to a top school?</p>

<p>What is the GPA requirement for these schools?</p>

<p>First-check with your school to see if they offer a Study Abroad program at one or more of the unis in which you are interested. A program from your own school would be easiest because all of the rules about applying and acceptance, etc. would come directly from your university. Also, more than likely, all of your grades and course credits would transfer to your college because the program would be “approved” by your home institution.</p>

<p>As far as UCL is concerned, my daughter is just finishing up her junior year which she spent at UCL. Other American students she met were from places such as Penn, Georgetown, Duke, Tufts, etc., etc. So that gives you an idea of the types of schools from which American students apply. If I were to guess, most of those students had a GPA of 3.5+.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>research I’ve seen says St. Andrews requires a GPA of 3.5 so I’d second College Mom’s statement. 3.5 and up.</p>
