<p>I am!</p>

<p>I've applied for Linguistics & Italian at UCL, but haven't received any offers/rejections yet. I'm not too keen on studying in the UK, though, so a rejection wouldn't depress me.</p>

<p>Graduated last year, IB Diploma
Economics:
UCL - Unconditional
LSE - Rejected
Cambridge - Unconditional</p>

<p>Electrical Engineering (last year):
(I really couldn't choose a subject)
UCL - 34 6/6/5 in Highers
Imperial - 38 6 Physics 6 Maths</p>

<p>ee i have :)</p>

<p>King's College - English Language and Literature - Conditional offer: 5 on AP English and 4 on AP US History.
Edinburgh - English Literature and History - Unconditional (Was conditional asking for a 600 at SAT II Literature and a 600 on one other SAT II)
Sussex - English and History - Conditional - 4s on both AP English and History
Queen Mary - English and History - Waiting
Royal Holloway - English - Waiting</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Wow i didn't know they make conditional offers for APs</p>

<p>Cambridge, engineering - Conditional offer AAA
bristol, mech engineering - Conditional offer AAB
imperial, aero engineering - conditional offer AAA
bath, mech engineering - conditional offer ABB</p>

<p>Well done on the cambridge one... one of my friends who got predicted 45 pts didn't even get a conditional offer</p>

<p>I got a friend who applied to Warwick last year and got in. He loves it there.</p>

<p>Me too.</p>

<p>University of Edinburgh: Conditional (4 on AP English)
University of Durham: Conditional (5 on AP English, 4 on AP Econ, 4 on AP Polysci)
University of St. Andrews: Pending
University College London: Pending
University of Warwick: Pending
University of East Anglia: Pending</p>

<p>Good luck, all. :)</p>

<p>Applied to Imperial, recieved a conditional offer which I can easily meet. unfortunately it costs far too much. I'm a bit annoyed that applying from overseas to Cambridge is such a pain what with interview and all because I think I'd have stood a good chance.</p>

<p>is there somewhere where i can find a reliable list of good UK universities?</p>

<p>thanks morningtheft. can you compare some US schools with the UK ones so i can try to gauge where each college stands compared to its US counterparts...</p>

<p>as in, where would stanford, columbia, brown, johns hopkins, ucb, ucla, usc, ucsd, uci, and ucr rank within the UK rankings?</p>

<p>I will be!</p>

<p>I <em>think</em> that my number 2, 3, and 4, choices will be in the UK.
The University of Mancherster
The London School of Economics
and The American Richmond University in London(I don't like this one though)</p>

<p>i once heard Columbia compared to King's College.</p>

<p>I would like to apply next year to the UK but I sincerely doubt my dad would let me</p>

<p>Not sure that is really possible as UK university experience is very different from the US. Students have to apply for one subject only (no minors.) So some colleges which are lowly ranked can be ranked highly for one particular specialist subject.</p>

<p>For the big city experience apply to any of the London colleges, Manchester (due to merger the Univeristy of Manchester is now HUGE.), Birmingham or Newcastle. For small and rural try Lancaster, Warwick, St Andrews or York.</p>

<p>In general the older universities are the most respected. </p>

<p>A lot of "polytechnic colleges" which used to be vocational schools, were given university status in 1992 or later. They are not very well respected and you can get in with very low grades. </p>

The American Richmond University in London

[/QUOTE]

This one is a US school operating in the UK but using the US education system. Not sure if you can apply to it through UCAS like all the other schools.</p>

<p>This site has lots of useful information.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.thestudentroom.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I went on a summer program at Richmond. It's not very well respected, from what I gather... you only need a 2.5 gpa to get in.</p>

<p>a lot of mine are conditional on my AP's</p>

<p>kings - 4 4 4
manchester - 5 4 4
warwick - 4 4 4 OR 80% overall, including calculus...thats a breeze.</p>

<p>I applied to UK schools....</p>

<p>St Andrews - Waiting
Leeds - Unconditional - International Relations + Arabic
Oxford - PPE @ Balliol - Rejected</p>

<p>LSE - ACCEPTED!!! - International Relations - Conditional 55544 (eek!)</p>

<p>Still waiting on LSE International Relations + History</p>
