Getting in a University in the UK?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I want to apply to University of Bath (UK) for Marketing + Managment. Their requirements are AAA/AA*B , which probably translates into three 5s in AP, or two 4s and one 5. Sucks my school only have seven AP courses and it’s unrelated to my major, business. (I am an A/B average student that never studied in my academic life). I acknowledge that admission process is different in the UK than in the US. I am not planning to aim for big name schools or be unrealistic with my statistics, I just want to move to Europe. Feel free to suggest universities that you think I might have a chance for.

Here are my stats as of May 2016, not phenomenal, but I’d say it’s acceptable…

Grade - HS Junior
Unweighted GPA - 3.325
Class Rank - 200/670 (70th percentile)
PSAT Fall 2015 - 1010
SAT - Taking Soon
ACT - Taking Soon
International Baccalaureate - Is this even necessary to take?

ECs -

[li] Founder of a coffee shop (passionate barista here) at my school with a donation fund. Now our school earns about $3,200 a month excluding expenses ($2,500 net profit) with my constant improvement of ideas and free labor. The money our/my cafe earn goes towards our programs.[/li]
[li] Personal/Business - I run few profiles on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc, profiting around $8000 a month as a 17-year-old. Bought a 2016 Mercedes-Benz without any help from parents/relatives and successfully paid if off with my social media earnings.[/li]
[*] Absolute zero hours of volunteer / community service. Not participated in any sports as well.

They don’t care about EC’s, except for the business related ones.
You’ll need calculus and an AP score of 5 in that, plus two other AP 's with scores of 4 or 5.
Apply to Brighton, Bath, Warwick, Swansea, Queen’s Belfast. Those are all well-located and this combination gives you the best odds of getting one admit.
Other schools you can apply to:
Essec international BBA (top business school, in Paris, program in English)
Bocconi interational programs

If you want to regard Bath as a Reach school for you, other very good business schools that may be slightly easier to get into are Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle. A mix of the reaches listed above ^ and some of the Unis I just mentioned should be a good combination as you can only put 5 Unis on the Ucas form. Good luck.
