Kings College London Grad school acceptance

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello all! </p>

<p>I am an American student who graduated college last May with a degree in history. I have been working since then and have been preparing for grad schools. I was just recently encouraged to check out grad school programs abroad. </p>

<p>I am focusing on programs in London, specifically. I want to focus on International Relations, Politics, or Society/Culture grad programs. At the top of my list is Kings College London. I know that Kings is a very selective school in the UK and I was just wondering what the acceptance rate might be for an American postgrad student? </p>

<p>My GPA from undergraduate is not stellar(3.2), but my resume is quite strong. I worked in higher education for about 3 years and have been working in London for about a year in international higher education. Even though I know higher education is not what I want to do, I kind of fell into it, and that has just been my focus for a while. I also have law firm experience. Will my resume help? </p>

<p>I have heard a lot about undergraduate admissions to UK schools and acceptance into Kings for computer science or technology, but not much for social science programs. </p>

<p>Any helpful tips, hints, comments, or suggestions? </p>

<p>I’d suggest posting on The Student Room, which is like a UK version of CC </p>

<p>However, I will note that for IR MA KCL explicitly says that they want 3.3 from US applicants <a href=“http://www.kcl.ac.uk/prospectus/graduate/entryrequirements/name/international-relations”>http://www.kcl.ac.uk/prospectus/graduate/entryrequirements/name/international-relations&lt;/a&gt; </p>
