<p>You haven’t said what subject you’re applying for. From looking at your other posts however it appears you want to study medicine in the UK. There is a quota on the number of international students British med schools can accept so competition is unbelievably fierce. You will need top grades in pretty much every standardized test you have taken to have a chance. Most require a good score in the BMAT or UKCAT tests as well. If you are doing APs do not expect to get in, you probably wont. They just aren’t good enough.</p>
<p>Everything except your ACT score and volunteering in a hospital is irrelevant information and won’t make any difference to your chances. I find it amusing that you think having three passports or being in five clubs is going to impress a British university.</p>
<p>As nordicblue did, I took a look at your other posts. Assuming that they are genuine, it appears that you are a bit ahead of yourself, and are really just exploring ideas at this stage. it also appears that many of your numbers are anticipated, not achieved. </p>
<p>If you really will be paying 100% of your college yourself, and are planning on a course that involves extended learning (medicine or architecture), here are some points to consider:</p>
<p>1) Medicine in the UK will require 5s on AP Calc BC, Chem and Bio -at a minimum- plus a very high score on the BMAT. It will also require approx $40k per year, most of it paid up front, plus travel expenses. Citizenship won’t entitle you to UK fees as you have not been living in the UK (unless your parents lived in the UK until they were sent abroad on behalf of the government, such as diplomats). Not to mention that Medicine is a grueling course. Finally, as others have mentioned, in recent years it has become much harder to do a residency in the US with a foreign medical degree. </p>
<p>2) given that you have expressed interest in film studies, medicine and architecture over the last two months you are not ready to apply to a UK school, where you could only study one of those things. The UK system is great if you are certain of what you want to study, because that is <em>all</em> you study; otherwise the US is a better bet.</p>
<p>3) your numbers so far will not get you into the ivy league colleges and are likely to get you only middling merit aid (along the $10-15k range) at a private college. </p>
<p>There are still a handful of colleges that are truly need-blind (See list here:[Chart:</a> Generous Colleges That Claim to Admit Only on Merit - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://www.usnews.com/education/articles/2010/03/22/chart-generous-colleges-that-claim-to-admit-only-on-merit]Chart:”>http://www.usnews.com/education/articles/2010/03/22/chart-generous-colleges-that-claim-to-admit-only-on-merit) ).</p>
<p>Based only on what you have so far, with no idea how much you have saved towards college, yours odds on getting a good degree that you can afford are best in Ohio, which, as others have pointed out, has some really sting options. </p>
<p>4) if staying in Ohio is really not something you are willing to do, you may find that your best way forward is to pick a state with a very strong university system, move there and enroll in community college. Most states have a system by which you can then transfer into the university. As you will be working to support yourself during those 2 years, you will be a resident and eligible for in-state tuition, grants, etc.</p>
