University of Edinburgh Admissions

<p>Hi! I'm an American student applying to the University of Edinburgh and I have a couple questions that maybe somebody knows the answer to.</p>

<p>1) Are my scores good enough? I want to go into International Relations or Politics.
SAT: 2160- 750 Critical Reading, 720 Math, 690 Writing (taking them again in a week to try and get my writing score up)
APs: 5 in AP Euro, 5 in AP Lang/Comp, and 5 in AP US History
SAT II's: 790 in US History, 770 in Bio-E, 630 in French, and 670 in Math I (Should I only submit the History one seeing as though it's relevant to what I want to study?)
I got all A's Junior year but there are a couple B's sprinkled in during my Freshman and Sophomore years.</p>

<p>2) Is the personal reference hard? I have an idea of what I want to write about but I'm kinda freaked out. I looked at a Common App essay I wrote and it was like 9000 characters, so 4000 (the limit for the UCAS app) seems pretty compact.</p>

<p>3) If there's anyone out there that goes to Edinburgh, what is it like? I have visited the city and actually even the dorms, but it was summer time so there were no students. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

  1. Your scores are definitely good enough.
  2. You mean the personal statement? The reference is done by the teacher. The Student Room offers a lot of personal statement help, from example essays to people who will read it for you.
  3. I can't help you with this one unfortunately :)
