<p>Does anyone know what a good score is for the first section of the TSA?</p>
<p>Hey guys,let me ask you,is it harder to get into Oxbridge and Imperial if you come from the USA than if you are from Europe ,but still outside UK .
I am planning to apply this year .
What I know is different for us is that we are not required to take the SAT ,only TOEFL .
Thank you</p>
<p>Europe= easier</p>
<p>Even a layman knows that, Ron ;)</p>
<p>Somehow I’m beginning to doubt that… So far, I’ve been accepted by Cam [not even pooled] and all the UK universities I applied to, but rejected by all of the US universities I applied to, even say, Carleton. I’m inclined to say that UK is biased towards non-EU, while US is biased towards US locals, at least from my observation; I’m from neither places in fact.</p>
<p>Hey chaps, im an international with offers from both UK and US universities and with a strong interest in mediaeval history. I’ve narrowed my choices to Durham in the UK and UChicago in the US. I am inclining towards UChicago mainly because of its prestige and recognition, but unfortunately going to UChicago would be about two and a half time more expensive than going to Durham (around 120000USD in total). Can anyone offer me some advice on which to pick?</p>
<p>To reika:
shake hands! Same here…
I think if u study in GB it is easier to get into UK ones and vice versa.
Different secondary education prepare u for different unis…</p>
<p>Save money for your Master’s, bcoz although funding for undergrads is being reduced, scholarships for postgrads will certainly disappear. Since you’re an international student (and will remain so I presume), the importance of this matter cannot be over-emphasized.</p>
<p>P.s. King’s College (UK) is good for Civil History and related courses. Why didn’t you apply there?</p>
<p>Hey I need some help too, </p>
<p>First of all @paradiso, UChicago is much more well known than Durham. I would go to Chicago without a doubt, unless you like that residential college type of thing and don’t prefer a liberal arts education. However, what the game has said about financial concerns might be very important for you and you would definitely have to take that in to consideration. </p>
<p>Any suggestions for me. I have narrowed down my choices to so far, Imperial College London for either Chemistry with Management, or Chemical Engineering, Washington University St. Louis for Economics/Math double major, Carnegie Mellon University for Chemical Engineering with a minor in environmental policy, HKUST for Dual Degree in general business management and perhaps chemical engineering. Other than paying nothing for HKUST due to full scholarship, I would have to pay full fee for all the other universities. I would like to work in Asia after graduation, especially HK and mainland China. Financial concerns are not a major priority for my family but I definitely have to consider is it worth paying $200,000 for an undergrad education in the US. I am from Beijing, but hold an European passport and have been living in Beijing for the past 9 years, so living in HK and the (Un)diversity of HK universities is a huge turn off for me. Where do you guys suggest me to go? </p>
<p>Ahhhh the college selection process is pretty bad but not half as bad as applying and waiting for decisions…</p>
<p>First make up your mind on whether you want to do engineering or business. Imperial would be best for engineering and HKUST is extremely good for Business Management. However, if you’re contend on doing both, pick Imperial. Not only will the 3yrs in UK cost less than 4yrs in USA, you’d be graduating from one of the foremost Engineering universities of the world.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Most of Imperial’s engineering courses last 4 years. Three-year engineering degrees are still offered by UK universities (except Cambridge and Oxford) , but few students pursue them since 4-year degrees are now required to apply for Chartered Engineer status.</p>
<p>Thanks yea I really like Imperial. </p>
<p>I have a problem though. I applied for Chemistry and management and I would like to switch to the Chemical Engineering program. Is this possible? The courses I take HL Math, Physics and Chemistry which what the chemical engineering entry requirements asks as well. </p>
<p>Also the thing about about Imperial is that I would graduate with a MEng while in HKUST I would graduate with two degrees, one BBA and BEng so basically the HKUST program I got into places the same emphasizes on both subjects. Which one is better?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why are you even contemplating choosing a university for it reputation?! The courses are likely to be very different, what one do you prefer? I would have thought that being interested in medieval history and studying in an ancient city like Durham would go hand-in-hand.</p>
<p>Durham is very prestigious in the UK. UChicago is virtually unknown in general European society, so they’re pretty equal in that respect.</p>
<p>Out of interest, what college did you apply for? University College is simply beautiful!</p>
<p>Ysbera, if you are thinking of changing your course, I suggest writing to the university. They might let you. However, do be aware of the possibility that they might reject you because of that. I’m not sure whether you have the option of changing once you’re in the school.</p>
<p>@bruno123: Thanks for correcting me</p>
<p>@Imperial: HKUST is a relatively young university while Imperial is an established powerhouse. So if you’re going for reputation, choose Imperial.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Imperial is generally strong for any engineering major. Carnegie Mellon is particularly strong in environmental engineering and OK for chemical engineering. I would narrow down my choices to those two schools. Which one would be cheaper for you to attend ?</p>
<p>Hi I’m from Singapore and I got an conditional offer of AAA (A for Physics) from Electrical Imperial. However, my A-Level results are AAAB (B for Physics). Is there any chance for me to appeal against the decision? I sent them a research project I did in junior college. But I don’t want to wait in vain… Anyone please help!</p>
<p>No you cant appeal against their offer, you can ask them if they’d accept you anyway but dont get your hopes up.</p>
<p>So the chances are very slim? I do know a friend who missed the conditions but was still admitted to Material Eng. But Electrical Eng? Was there any cases before?</p>
<p>hey, how to get scholarship to YALE? because I cannot find any…</p>
