<p>I'm currently in 10th grade, and next academic year I will be taking history, english, math, and anthropology courses at my local community college. In high school I will be taking 2 science classes, an elective, and French.
What I want to know is will UCL consider accepting a student who got bad grades at a high school level (9th and 10th grade), but good grades at a college level? I've only taken one AP class, and that was the only A I've received outside of French. If I get A's in my college classes and a high score on my SAT, would they accept me? I want to major in archeology, and I'm not quite certain how difficult it is to get into their program. I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong forum, but I figure due the nature of this post, this is the right place.
If possible, I want as much information as possible in regards to the archeology program at UCL, and of course, getting into it.
Thanks</p>
<p>If you mean the UCL in London, your GPA doesn’t factor in. What matters is, in particular, AP scores (for best chances, 5 APs with a score of 5 would be good - for archeology, I expect they’d want English, World History, European History, Art History, and Human Geography, but the last one is considered “weaker” in tariff points, although if you have the 4 previous ones with 5’s you’d be fine; you could always take an extra AP of course, such as AP French. Classes in biology and forensics may be appreciated, too).
A’s in your college classes would also definitely help.
EC’s don’t matter either, unless they’re related to archeology specifically. Go to the Ucas website to look at the way it works! :)</p>
<p>High really means 31+/2100+…</p>
<p>So I’m glad to hear that GPA and EC’s aren’t as important as my passion for the field. I can’t afford the AP tests, and I’m only taking one more (AP French) before abandoning the AP classes. Would the college classes be seen in place of the AP? Also, is archeology at this school easier to get into? For example, more students get admitted to the archaeology program than a medical one? Do they prefer national applicants over international ones? Would I be less likely to get in with few AP’s over about 40-60 credits of college work? Keep in mind, the college classes I will be taking will be in the subjects of history, english, math, and anthropology. </p>
<p>yes the college classes would “replace” AP classes in the eyes of admission officers, especially if you can take advanced classes (ie., if you can take freshman-level then sophomore -level college classes)
But why do you want to attend UCL in particular? What other colleges are you looking into, stateside and in Europe?</p>
