<p>I plan to apply to Cambridge in the UK, and I think I have very a good shot with my SAT and AP scores. However, I'm extremely confused by the required UCAS online application form. I have no idea where to, say, append my HS transcript and standardized test scores. Can anyone plzzzzzzz provide a step-by-step guide for filling out UCAS? Thanks alot!</p>
<p>Additional tips on applying to British universities would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>dude...dont go to cambridge man...stay in the states. think about how much it will cost to fly home over breaks + flying to their interview (im not sure if they pay for it). why not stay in US? and their edu system is really different and i heard the kids your age are probably more like second years due to the edu system so you are kinda out of sync. i dunno..your choice i guess but i dont think its worth it. study abroad there maybe?</p>
<p>You can have perfect SATs and perfect APs and you still won't get into Cambridge. You can't just meet a standard to get into the top British universities like you sort of can for the ivy leagues. You have to be brilliant. Also, Oxford and Cambridge are graduate schools much more than they are undergraduate, and the social life at the schools does not exist unless strictly affiliated with the Ivory Tower.</p>
<p>Try St. Andrews, U York, Edinburgh and U Warwick instead.</p>
<p>What the hell are you on about KingKouture? Oxbridge has a tutorial system where 90% of classes are 1 on 1 with your professors. Are you telling me thats not good enough? The social scene is also vibrant, plus you can drink legally.</p>

<p>I guess those sacrifices would have to be made to get into one of the best universities in the world. It seems as if Cambridge may be one of, if not the best, universities to study mathematics or physics in the world.</p>
<p>Besides, you would be hard pressed to find a more impressive mathematics and science alumni list than Cambridge. Eighty Nobel laureates, I believe?</p>
<p>Unless it has changed radically since I applied, you DON'T append your high school transcript. This is completely meaningless in the UK. Standardised test scores go in the bit where UK students put their A-level scores. Something like "qualifications" (for the scores you're already go) and "qualifications pending" where you list those you're still to take and your predicted scores. It;s been a whole since I saw one of these forms but it;s not that difficult (in fact it's amazingly easy compared to applying to any US school). If in doubt you could always e-mail the admissions office of one of the schools you intend to apply to. Before UK A-levels come out in August they are not busy (but may well be on vacation I guess).</p>
