<p>I didn't do very well in 9th grade, and I think in 10th grade I only got a 2.8.</p>
<p>I actually finished my credit requirements at the end of my Junior year. I got a 3.9 and 2250 SAT score. The thing is, I took my classes at a community college where I earned high school and college credit. So, my classes were technically at college level but I got my diploma. Before I waste time applying, does anyone know if this is accepted?</p>
<p>On the UCL website it says "To be eligible for consideration students must have usually obtained passes in four, full-year Advanced Placement (AP) examinations at grades 4/5. Alternatively the High School Graduation diploma plus a minimum of 1300/1600 or 1950/2400 in SAT I plus the successful completion of one year at a recognised US university would be considered."</p>
<p>Is it enough that I have taken classes at a CC level with a 3.9 and got a 2250 SAT score? Also, I don't know if they are saying they want you to have taken both the course and exam or if taking AP exams are enough. I did take 6:
AP English Language - 5
AP US Gov. - 5
AP Euro - 5
AP Bio - 4
AP Environmental Science - 5
AP Macro - 5</p>
<p>Depends on the course. You are pretty much directly in for every course with maybe the exception of law.</p>
<p>I’m applying to uni in the UK as well btw. London School of Economics, Edinburgh, Durham, and Queen Mary-University of London are my picks. I’m applying for law though.</p>
<p>Start reading up on the application process now. It’s very different from the US. If you get started with the process now, you can probably finish by mid to end of October. It isn’t an overnight thing like some of the US colleges. The application needs a reference and personal statement. However the personal statement is completely different. Same with the reference. It has absolutely nothing to do with your life story. Only has to deal with the skills and interest that you have in the course. Mother died at 2? And you were diagnosed with cancer at 8? Great, but that doesn’t have anything to do with academics. Get the point? Took me about 3-4 solid weeks to get mine finished. </p>
<p>Join the site called TSR. Its the UK version of college discussion.</p>
<p>You can certainly apply. Assuming your APs are relevant to whatever course you’re applying to, I would say you have a fair chance of admission. What are you applying for?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m sorry but that really was a foolish thing to say, no he isn’t.</p>
<p>^ He is likely to be in. High SAT scores/lots of 5 in the APs. I dont think they would see his whole trabscript- which wuld have screwed him for a US college</p>
<p>Nearly everybody applying to UCL has similarly good grades or better. It is foolish to presume you’ll get in on good grades alone when so much depends on your personal statement/recs/interview.</p>

<p>Yeah says the UCL undergrad . . . </p>
<p>But seriously he has a 2250/2400, minimum requirement is 1960. Like a 310+ points higher. Would be liable to pay the typical exorbitant international fees of london universities. Even US schools which would typically have higher requirements would jump him regardless of his 9th and 10th high school record. All he has to do is make a great sob story on his SOP- I am sure he is intelligent enough to do so.</p>
<p>As long of course he is not applying for economics or law.</p>
<p>The only problem is that he has not completed a year of university. This is the likely reason why he would have problems.</p>
<p>Hey OP you should email them and ask if this could be problematic. It would be hard to find someone with the same background that you have.</p>
<p>minimum means minimum req to be consider, that doesn’t garuntee anything.
For Oxbridge,LSE,UCL and Imperial
only those of who got a way better than minimum req grades get accepted.</p>
<p>OP
every applicants who applied to those unis has excellent grades which makes unis can’t judge candidates based on their academic performance.
so you have to focus on your PS to make you different from other candidates.
And if you have work experience regarding your major then that would give you a good shot.</p>
<p>The school will only look at your AP scores and your SAT score, BUT you need to make sure your APs are related to the recommended/required A-level subjects for each course( major) you’re applying for.
You should work on your statement and apply to other schools (UCAS allows you to apply to 5 different courses in the same or different schools)</p>
