<p>Concerning the admissions process in the UK…So Great Britain allows students to apply to a maximum of five schools, and they require students to declare their field of study, right? I’m not familiar with the other components of their system. For instance, do they just look at GPA and test scores? Are ECs, volunteer hours, etc. given weight? Do they consider geographical residence or legacy status? Do URMs or athletes get a big boost in the process? I’d be interested in knowing more. What have been drawbacks to their system?</p>
