<p>I'm currently a high school senior and was wondering what my chances of getting into King's College in London are based on purely objective, academic aspects (My essay writing skills are pretty good and my recommendations will be strong). I am applying to their international development program. I'm also an international student (from the US)
SAT: 2090. pretty low what can I say, hoping to score higher on the ACT though because the math is less horrific, predicted 33.
AP's: US History (5) European history (4) English (5) Microeconomics (4) Macroeconomics (5) i'm also taking music theory, government, english lit, and psychology this year. our school is weird and puts restrictions on our AP classes
Extracurriculars: I participate in a lot of cultural clubs, Worked at a Summer ESL program for 4 years, honor societies, academic awards, bilingual and have taken 2 languages in high school, orchestra/piano with awards etc etc basically have done things that are aimed towards my major.
GPA: 3.96 unweighted 4.37 weighted (One B, the rest were all A's)
I know i meet/exceed the minimum requirements by a bit but am unsure as to basically everything else.
I've always wanted to study abroad and just want to know if this is a plausible option. Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you. </p>
<p>Your AP scores will be the essential criterion. You meet the entry requirements. Get your Personal Statement reviewed out at the student room (equivalent to CC for the UK). I recommend you also apply to other London schools such as UCL, SOAS, Imperial, Royal Holloway, but also universities that are roughly 1H-1h30 away such as Brighton. UCAS application is £22 total for 5 programs (“courses”).
Note that you’ll be devoting your entire time to the subject you chose, you won’t be able to switch courses (change your major), and there’ll be no campus life to speak of. Finally, there’s no financial aid.
I hope you have other colleges on your list.</p>
<p>You should get in, definitely check the requirements but if you’re good there, unless your course is extremely oversubscribed, you stand a good chance of getting an offer. Also, you don’t have to report your GPA :)</p>
