<p>Ok, so I'm interested in studying law as an undergraduate student in London, UK</p>

<p>Basically, I have a high GPA, and a low ACT Score</p>

<p>I have a 3.71 GPA and I got a 16 on the ACT. What Universities will accept me?
What are my chances?</p>

<p>Effectively nil unless there is something else you haven’t mentioned.</p>

<p>UK universities look more at standardized testing, not GPA. </p>

<p>Law is a very competitive subject in the UK, same as in the US.</p>

<p>Go to the website of a university you are interested in, click on international students and find out their entry requirements. I hope you also have a lot of APs or the IB.</p>

<p>For instance: <a href=“Undergraduate degrees | Prospective Students Undergraduate - UCL – University College London”>http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/undergraduate/degrees/ubllawsing05&lt;/a&gt; will show you that fro admission to a straight law degree at UCL, you’ll need to have taken five AP exams, scoring 5 in four of them and at least 4 in the fifth; or if transferring from a US college a college GPA of 3.3 and SAT score of 1950+ or 29 on ACT.</p>

<p>Setting your sights lower, London Metropolitan (a slightly dodgy outfit who had their ability to sponsor visas for overseas students taken away a few years ago although it seems to have been reinstated) says you only need a high school GPA of 3.0 plus “Either, SAT 1 with 600 or above, in maths, critical reading, and writing OR 3-4 ACT (American College Test) relevant subject passes, with a composite/average score value of 25 OR 3 Advanced Placement Test passes with a grade of 3 or above, in relevant subjects.”

<p>Why law in London? Do you want to become a lawyer, and if so, in which country?</p>
