<p>I know. I'm 16. I will take A-Levels but right now I'm only on GCSEs</p>
<p>oops sorry, Purest Awesome, I was not very careful in the reading of your post and therefore missunder stood what waht you were saying.</p>
<p>My bad - I just read my post and it is a bit confusing lol</p>
<p>From which universities, in UK, have u received aceptances?</p>
<p>Me? </p>
<p>I got places to study general engineering at cambridge, durham and warwick and then places for civil engineering at imperial, edinburgh and bristol. </p>
<p>[But i think i have now decided....</p>
<p>it was tough between MIT and cambridge but i reckon MIT is for me]</p>
<p>Do people from UK submit (end-of-term/semester) grades to colleges or only GCSE/A-level results?</p>
<p>The student would send there GCSE and A-Level + SAT I and SAT Single Subject exam scores (if they have SATII).</p>
<p>What are the easiest SAT II's - do you find? How's World and American History?</p>
<p>Oh, and is SAT Maths (II) basically Maths GCSE level?</p>
<p>That what I heard from those who took it. I don't know if it was Maths or Ad. Maths, but it was GCSE level.</p>
<p>Most Intermadte and Higher tier maths GCSE studnets could do well on both the SAT and the SATII.</p>
<p>Actually, I found that the Maths Level 2 SAT was more AS level, with many topics that weren't covered at GCSE at all (logarithms, advanced trigonometry, etc). Of course, this could be different with different exam boards, but from my experience, you'd need more than GCSE knowledge to get a good score.</p>
<p>Hey I applied to 6 UK schools through UCAS system on April</p>

<p>PS: My chances at Warwick University..</p>
<p>I had amazing recomendation letters.. I mean they were flat out amazing! and 4 of them so chances plz??</p>
<p>Im not sure how warwick views people from america. From an english point of view tho i would say that it isnt that hard to get into. Lots of my friends from my school applied there [including me] and i dont know anyone who didnt get a place... But one q tho... Why exactly do u want to go there? have u ever visited? I went there for an interview for civil engineering and thought it was very bleak and too concrete. It is also in the middle of nowhere!!!! Coventry is not a fun place to EVER go out in!!! Maybe u know more stuff about warwick than i do tho...</p>

The chance of getting into OxBridge is around 1/4, higher (1/3 or even 1/2) for certain courses.

<p>Maybe for UK residents or guys doing GES, but for Internationls its bloody crapshoot. I mean, there must have ben only 1 or 2 more CBSE guys apart from who got accepted at Cambridge. Its like .001% chance for guys doing non-GES syllabus.</p>
<p>KING IS HERE,
Warwick's pretty easy to get in. 3 people from my CBSE school in India were accepted there and 1 of them was pretty dumb.</p>
<p>UK Universities are easy to get into for non-EU students than the EU ones.</p>
<p>yeah UK universities are very easy to get into if you are full-paying student (i.e. non EU students as ronty mentioned). they are in desperate need for funds.</p>
<p>I was referring to Oxbridge when I made post #35.
The other colleges are virtually non-competitive (except Imperial and LSE).
The fact that Cambrisge is really competitive for int'ls is very true. About 30 students from my HS applied to Cambridge, and only one was accepted...thats really crapshoot. And considerin, that these are guys going to IITs and NITs they aren't exactly dumb.</p>
<p>I don't think Cambridge is competitive for intls also... at least less so than it was before for singaporeans...</p>
