<p>So in the Education section, it gives the option to list qualifications for my high school. I listed my diploma, my SAT, ACT, APs...is there anything else?</p>
<p>It also says to list any school you've attended since you were 11 - does that mean I have to list my junior high?</p>
<p>And finally, what should I put for the unit/modules category under education - is that where I should put in the classes that I've taken in school (ie my transcript)?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Oh and when applying, do I need to send anything additionally to the university (ie my transcript or official scores) or is the UCAS application sufficient?</p>
<p>No, you don’t need to send anything to the universities. If they want your transcripts or other things, they will ask you. You may be asked to provide things like proof of SAT or ACT score at matriculation, but don’t send them unasked.</p>
<p>I don’t mean to hijack your thread but I’m also applying through UCAS this fall. Where are you applying and for what course? Spriteling, I noticed you go to University of Edinburgh, do you like it? I’m considering applying there but am not sure since the Scottish universities are four years instead of three…</p>
<p>Well, I haven’t properly started classes yet, but I do love being in Edinburgh already.</p>
<p>What degree would you be doing, Sarah9? If you are doing a science/maths degree, you can skip the first year and thus your degree will be the same length as schools in England. That is what I am doing.</p>
<p>I plan to apply to study German as a single honours course at Durham and Oxford, German w/ International Relations at Exeter, and German w/ International Business at Bath and probably Edinburgh (I can’t really decide on my fifth!) Have you met a lot of other Americans studying there as well? I’ve read that more Americans choose to study in Scotland compared to England (that may just be because of St Andrews though.) I’m kind of worried I won’t fit in tbh, but I spent my junior year in Germany so the UK should (hopefully) be a much easier transition! Also, did any of the universities you applied to ask for proof of your SAT or AP scores after giving you an offer? Sorry for all the questions, I would really appreciate your insight though!</p>
<p>If you are concerned about the extra year in your degree, I’d stick to England or Wales. Edinburgh is an amazing place, and with the Scottish system, you’d be able to study more than just your chosen course, unlike England. I don’t know if that appeals to you.</p>
<p>I think there are a fair amount of Americans studying at Edinburgh. Not loads, by any means, but it’s not like we’re from Turkmenistan or anything. I’ve had no problems fitting in with anything!</p>
<p>I didn’t do AP (I did the IB) and I only took the SATI, and none of the universities asked me for any proof of the SAT. Obviously I needed proof of the IB, to show I’d met my offer.</p>
<p>I’m looking at University of Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Durham…I’m not totally sure yet. The extra year doesn’t really bother me, but I guess it’d be nice to only have three. I’m looking at studying history, or anthropology. The Scottish system seems a little better in that sense because it seems like you have a little more flexibility.</p>
<p>Hi. My name is Anna. I’m an American currently studying in England. I’m volunteering for the British Council’s Education UK program, which is set up to allow international students in the UK to answer questions from potential applicants from their own countries. </p>
<p>lakem22, I’d list your middle school on the form. The education system is a bit different here, and universities will expect to see it listed. Spriteling’s right about your transcripts and score reports - wait to send them until the universities ask for them. Some may not ask. I’m not sure about your question about the modules category but I’d probably list my high shool classes (or at least the ones relevant to the proposed course of study).</p>
<p>As far as fitting in goes, I’ve lived in Cardiff (where I did my MA) and in Norwich (where I’m doing my PhD) and I haven’t had any troubles in either place. Most universities have very active international student societies which arrange social events and trips so you’ll have a way to meet people and things to do right from the start. There are also always tons of clubs and activities going on. I feel like there are more options for socializing and meeting people in British universities than there were in my American university. </p>
<p>I hope this helps! Good luck with your applications.
