Applying to UK schools -- HELP!

College Search & Selection

<p>I'm a High School senior applying to colleges in the UK and need some help.</p>

<p>First, I'm a British Citizen but will be applying as an International Student since I've spent the last eight years in America.</p>

<p>Here's my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.25/4 Unweighted
SAT: 2060/2400 (770 Writing, 690 Reading, 600 Math)
SAT II: 680 English Lit
AP's: 4- European History</p>

<p>AP's & Honors Classes taking/taken:</p>

<p>-AP European History
-AP English Novel
-AP Selected American Authors
-AP Government & Politics
-Great Works of Literature (Honors)
-French V (Honors)</p>

<p>Here's the schools I'm applying to:</p>

<p>St. Andrews
Durham
Edinburgh
Warwick
Exeter</p>

<p>Do you think I have a realistic chance of getting in to one of these schools? I've heard it's a lot easier to get accepted as an Int. student. I've also heard UK Schools don't look at your grades and just look at SAT/AP Scores? I'm applying for classical studies if that makes any difference. Thanks</p>

<p>I got into St. Andrews a few days ago with a 29 on the ACT and a similar SAT II score. I also wrote a very strong essay relating to my major so make sure that really sells who you are and your passion for the specified major. Your GPA may be the only thing holding you back, but with test scores being the most important factor, you definitely have a good shot.</p>

<p>And the other schools? Do I have a realistic shot?</p>
