<p>I always wanted to go to Harvard to do Medicine, and I have read the student handbook I have found on their site, however, I do not understand the things you have to do as the system is very different from the one in England.</p>
<p>I will take my SATS here in England with my A-Levels, however I was wondering what are SAT I and SAT II, and also what are ACP and GPA? Also what are subject SATS? is there any SATS you HAVE to do, to do medicine? What is college? is it what you do after you have have gone to high school? how old are you when you apply for a university course? </p>
<p>after you have done your SATS, do you have to do ACPs as well? whats the difference?</p>
<p>after you done those do you do like a BA while you are an undergraduate university?</p>
<p>Hi,
SAT I and the SAT Reasoning test are the same. SAT II and the subject tests are also the same. The SAT subject tests are sort of like the A levels. You get testing on your knowledge on a particular subject. eg. chemistry, physics, math II, etc. I don't think we have an ACP. We have an ACT. It is similar to the SAT Reasoning. You can take both the SAT and ACT or just one. It is really your choice. GPA is your grade point average. Like if you have all As in all the classes you took in highschool you would have a 4.0 on a 4.0 scale.
You do get you bachelor's degree in undergrad school. Also, you have to go into medicine after your undergrad degree, which is unlike the UK. My cousins went to med school in england and I think they went straight into med school after their A levels and got a bachelor's degree while there. So, you don't need to take ay SAT sunject tests to get into med school as you dont get into med school straight after high school. What SAT subject tests you take depends on the university you will apply to. for example columbia engineering wants you to take a math subject test and chemistry or physics.
Also, you can take university courses at whatever age you want, given that you have the smarts and the background. Usually, if you enroll to get an undergrad degree, you are usually 18 by the time you will start it.
Hope that helped.</p>
