Readjusting my college search: Social Sciences in Canada and England (I'm in the U.S.)

College Search & Selection
1

Hello,

I need some help with my college search. I have lived in the U.S. for 17 years and I think it is time for a change in landscape. Sadly, I really have no clue where to start with that, I do not know any colleges in Canada or England, and I do not know if I would get into any of them. So I came here, in need of help.

I am looking to study geography or food anthropology/geography, however the food anthropology is more niche, but would be absolutely delighted to be able to study that. Furthermore, I would like for it to be in a bigger city, I cannot stand living in the country.

Anyways, moving onto my credentials, in 9th and 10th grade, I didn’t do outstanding, I think I averaged around a 3.1 or 3.2. However, in my fall semester, I studied abroad, which I think is a big plus for me. Furthermore, in 11th grade I tried a lot harder, and I got a weighted 3.45 my fall semester, and a weighted 3.83 my spring semester. I have played sports each year, water polo and baseball. Also, I have taken French all three years, and will take a fourth. Thus, I am open to english speaking universities in Quebec, or in France. I really enjoy French and would love to improve it, if possible.

I would love some to look at, as I don’t know where to start, I will be here to answer any questions, thank you!

In Canada, colleges are community colleges. You are looking for universities. If you are looking for a bigger city, that pretty much restricts you to McGill, University of Toronto and University of British Columbia (UBC). If you are open to smaller cities, 500K - 1 million, that opens up more possibilities.

What are your SAT or ACT scores?

3

Oh, I thought I had listed that… My ACT score is a 30.

4

Information on Canadian and UK universities is online. If you cannot find the information you are not prepared to go to university abroad.

5

Sorry for asking for direction.

6

UK schools won’t care much (if at all) about your GPA but will have strict standardized testing requirements.

7

What are your SAT/ACT scores?

8

My ACT score is a thirty.

9

In that case, the UCAS schools are almost certainly out of reach.

10

What do I need?

For English unis:

  1. Good AP scores in the relevant subjects.
  2. Ability to pay.

Your ACT score is fine for Canadian universities.
