<p>I am a rising senior from New York, and I am looking to attend school in the U.K. While my GPA is less then stellar (un-weighted is an 86 / 3.0, weighted is 96 / 4.0), but I have relatively good test scores:
SAT I: CR-800, M-680, Wr-650
SAT II: Lit-710, Physics- 740, U.S. History- 760.
A.P.s, : 3,3,4,5,5</p>
<p>I am looking to apply to a few schools in London. Can anyone give me some suggestions considering these scores? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t know too much about your scores, I can tell you about London universities though. Outside LSE, UCL, Imperial and Kings college, I would not consider studying in London. Those are all top universities though, so if your grades aren’t at least considered “good”, I’m not sure you would get an offer.</p>
<p>If you could say what course you plan on studying I could give you better advice.</p>
<p>Same with Maxyend. Although if i were you i would stick to the US, the education here is top class and IMO much better in the UK (i’m an international studying in the UK).</p>
<p>The only UK unis i would consider going over a top US school (Upenn, lower ivies etc.) are Oxford, Cambridge, LSE and Imperial.</p>
<p>but it really depends on what subject you are going for</p>
<p>I’d say only Cambridge and Oxford are even on the level of any top 20 us schools</p>
<p>What is your intended major ? The best school in London for law and applied social sciences (economics, sociology, political science, cultural anthropology) is LSE, but I am afraid your grades are too low for a competitive application. For LSE economics or law, you would need at least 5,5,5,5,5 in your AP exams including Calculus BC for economics specifically.</p>
<p>Imperial College on the other hand is London’s best school for engineering, medicine, mathematics, computer science and natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology). However, I am not sure you could get in. For Imperial engineering for example, you’d probably need 5,5,5 in your APs, including Calculus BC and Physics C (Mechanics and E/M), and much higher SAT-M and SAT-II scores.</p>
