SAT For universities in Britain

International Students

<p>Is SAT useful to apply for a university in Britain?</p>

2

<p>As an American student, yes. For everyone else, no.</p>

3

<p>hmm well yes and no</p>

<p>Schools like University of Warwick, University of Edinburgh, and Oxford University will look at your SAT scores for your admission </p>

<p>but schools such as
LSE, UCL, Cambridge and etc dont even bother looking at your SAT scores when they are making an admission decision since they prefer to look at your AP-test levels.</p>

<p>LSE: 7+ AP Test required
UCL: 5+ AP Test Required
Cambridge: 8+ AP Test</p>

<p>So in the end it depends where you are applying so might as well write it down on ur UCAS if you did very good on them</p>

<p>KING IS HERE, I remember almost a year ago you told me I had no shot at LSE with only 6 AP scores.. and I hold an unconditional, so don't spread that rumor anymore ;)</p>

<p>But to answer the OP, the SAT doesn't hurt, if it's good, and it's just another qualification to be looked upon on your application. Some schools require it, some don't.</p>

<p>^When you're talking about only 6 AP scores, are you including ones you took in senior year? I'm looking forward to applying to LSE but I'm wondering if I'm not a competitive candidate. I'm a junior and I've taken 8 APs, with three of them being mediocre. (AP Lang is just not my game...) By senior, I will have taken 10 APs. Is this good enough?</p>

<p>I took 12 AP courses during my high school career.. but only sat for 6 of the exams (they weren't pushed or valued in my school, the grades in the courses were seen as much more important)</p>

<p>So, while LSE saw that I had taken all of the courses.. they only saw 6 AP scores. I would say as long as you have 4's and 5's in at least 5 APs, you should be competitive.</p>

<p>What course are you looking at? That can affect things as well.</p>

<p>^I'm looking at BSc Government and Economics or BSc Philosophy and Economics. Have you decided to go to LSE?
Till now, I've taken 8 APs and sat through all the exams. But three of them were not good, so I'm going to withdraw them.</p>
