<p>I am a Junior and want to apply those two schools(or one of them) (from canada). So can anyone explain in detail about what I need to apply to there?</p>
<p>UCAS
the student room dot com
where are you from?????</p>
<p>canada(chinese)</p>
<p>Where in canada?S'il vous plait</p>
<p>I live in montreal Quebec but my french aint good though</p>
<p>do you need anything else than your school GPA and SATs? is A level compulsive?</p>
<p>you only have one week before deadline for Oxbridge app.
Provincial grades are good enough sometimes.Colleges have discretion.</p>
<p>You can't write ALevels as they are only written in the UK. She/He is a junior so they won't need to apply this year. You need to submit a UCAS application along with a supplementary oxbridge application. You need to write a short essay and you need rec's. Why not just go to the oxford or cambridge website and look at the admissions page for internationals?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A levels are written in 150 countries around the world. There are many boards that offer A level outside the UK(CIE,Edexcel etc).</p>
<p>ok, thankyou guys</p>
<p>on other threads,he/she(OP) is worrying re Oct SAT subject tests results being ready for his/her ED/EA.ie i n senior yr
I think he/she is misleading unconsciously or consciously.</p>
<p>u use UCAS (its like a common application for the US) and I believe Oxford has like an additional stuff (like supplementary applications) the studentroom its like a college confidential website but its Uk version</p>
<p>did you have a interview of cambridge KINGIS HERE? maybe you can brief me about that?</p>
<p>PS: whats the tuition range of UK schools?(per year)</p>
<p>Hey - I'm English, and I've been through the Cambridge admissions process. :) </p>
<p>Okay. One, you write a personal statement, based heavily upon your academic interests and achievements. Listing awards is possibly not the best idea - for example, my statement focused on English lit. I detailed why I'd chosen the subject for study, what my favourite areas were in the subject and my favourite authors - limiting myself to about three, wrote a paragraph on my external interests, and tried to round off well. The style is fairly formal. </p>
<p>You apply via UCAS - <a href="http://www.ucas.com%5B/url%5D">www.ucas.com</a> - by signing up. All 'Oxbridge' applications have to be sent via your referee by October 15th. Basically, you sign in, list your academic grades and qualifications under their system, write your personal statement and submit it to a referee - probably your school guidance counsellor. They write a reference for you, and submit the actual form.</p>
<p>With Cambridge and Oxford, they both ask for a supplementary form, which you can download off their websites, or ask to be sent from the universities themselves. You can either apply to a distinct college - sort of like a 'house' in Harry Potter - or have an 'open application' which means your application will be allocated to a particular college. If you're female, undoubtedly, you'll be allocated to one of the all female colleges. </p>
<p>Once you've chosen a college, you fill out the individual Cam/Ox forms. They ask you to list, again, your academic results to-date - ie, SATs, SATIIs, AP results, etc, and they give you the option of an additional personal statement, detailing why you have chosen to apply to Oxbridge. It's a good idea to write something. </p>
<p>Then you post it all off, and in December, they call you for interview. About 97% of Cambridge applicants are interviewed, and about 80% of Oxford's. Cambridge (the way I applied) interview in the first two weeks of December, and then let you know in the first week of January, whether you've been accepted, rejected, or pooled. (Similar to waitlisted) If you are pooled, and another college picks you, they will re-interview you, possibly, and then either accept or reject you. Oxford simply has you there for three days, and have interviews at three different colleges.</p>
<p>If you need any more information, particularly about Cambridge, let me know. :)</p>
<p>Warwick is around 18000 dollars a year for tuition +accomodation and spending they estimated to be around 30,000 a year for 3 years which is pretty good considering my school of choice in teh US was wither NYU and or Cornell but they didn't give me any Fin aid. Srry I cant tell you anything about the interview since the interview was in New York and Vancouver and I live in San Jose, CA and it was during school time so I couldn't really do anything plus I had to take SAT II's the weekend they scheduled me .</p>
<p>so do you mean you dont have to take that interview?</p>
<p>i think its required (well i think it is) but i couldn't make it so i just told them i had some personal stuff i had to take care of they were fine with it, I wasn't when i recieved my rejection letter</p>
<p>dont they have the interviews in many big cities in North America?</p>
<p>Honestly? Warwick reject anyone who can't make their interview. I was on <em>scholarship</em> in the US, had informed them weeks earlier that it was fairly prestigious, and they flatly rejected me.</p>
<p>can you get a interview from any big city or you go to few indicated ones</p>
<p>Warwick didn't have an interview, they only do interview in NYC and I live on the opposite side of the US West Coast in California so it was a huge distance</p>
