Hi! I’m currently in Year 12 in the UK (grade 11) and thinking of applying to US unis such as Northeastern, BC, UW Seattle, USC, UCLA, UOregon, BU, UMass Amherst etc. I was wondering if you could chance me?
- GCSEs: three 9, one 8, three 7, two 6 (overall seven A*-A and two Bs)
- A levels: Maths, Biology, Economics, predicted AAA. Might be self-teaching further maths AS next year and hopefully get an A/B.
- Worked out that it would give me an overall highschool unweighted GPA 3.86, and weighted 4.11
- Haven't taken SAT yet, hoping for 1350-1400, and 770+ on Subject test Biology M
