My chances for St. Andrews?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a junior in an american high school right now. I am extremely interested in staying international relations at a european university. I think I would like to either work for the United Nations or maybe the american foreign service at an embassy or something like that. Currently, I have an unweighted 3.97 GPA and I don't know what my weighted GPA is, but I have gotten a's in the six ap classes I have taken. I have been on my high school ski team for the past 3 years and I have also been on the soccer team for 3 years. </p>

<p>I am fluent in spanish because after my sophomore year, I studied spanish at the complutense university in Madrid for the whole summer. Next year I am going to join my high schools nationally recognized constitution team. I got about 2150 on my SAT test, but I think I'll take it again.</p>

<p>What are my chances to get into University of St. Andrews as I hear they have one of the best ir programs in the world. I am also looking into Sciences Po and LSE. What are my chances for those schools?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Have you taken AP tests for the courses you take in school?</p>

<p>Anyway, you’re probably in since they accept most Americans. </p>

<p>You need to be decent at French to survive Sciences Po.</p>

<p>No for LSE since you haven’t taken AP tests. You need about 5-8.</p>

<p>yeah I have taken AP tests for my courses. I got 5s for all six of my AP classes.
Do you think I need more AP classes or would this be enough?</p>

6

<p>What subjects did you take your tests for?</p>

7

<p>I’d be considerably surprised if they didn’t take you. Just don’t expect fin aid of any sort.</p>

8

<p>My tests were in AP european history, AP Calc AB, AP Physics, AP Spanish, AP English, and AP US history.</p>

<p>You’ll get in. They really like international applicants because they bring in the dough. St. Andrews will be extremely pricey for you though.</p>

<p>Good selection of AP tests. </p>

<p>In at St. Andrews, possibly at LSE if you can take a few more history AP tests and maybe comp govt. And of course, a good personal statement.</p>

<p>Check out the UCAS Tariffs for AP exams to know which are the more respected tests.</p>
