How do I, an ugly American, get into Oxford?

<p>You are ugly. Oxford will never accept you.</p>

<p>I don’t think that UK accepts the SATs. Head to the nearest British Council and they will help you out throughout the application process. I think they start with a makeover.</p>

<p>^The UK does accept SATs, but only for Americans and perhaps Canadians, seeing it as a valid American qualification. You seem fine, jbruner17. Just focus on getting your predicted AP scores or surpass them. Are you giving them this year? Oxbridge operate on very strict conditions, so nothing will impress them more than surpassing what was already expected of you. As far as SAT IIs go, I suggest you take Math II and World History. The more quantitative elements they get to judge you, the happier they’ll be.</p>

<p>jesus. you sure you sleep?</p>

<p>I’m looking at oxford too, but I don’t take nearly the amount of courses you do:
AP Spanish
AP German
APUSH
Trig/Precalc
Bio
English (AP equivalent - my school doesn’t offer it because “it would be too easy”)</p>

<p>and my SATs were only 2210 </p>

<p>Question: does everyone at Oxford come from private school? I go to a nice public school, but I feel it would be a major adjustment…</p>

<p>Do A levels! or IB. Its difficult but admired by UK</p>

No. There is a mix of both private and public school kids who go to Oxford.</p>
