Do I need to include my high school GPA on my UCAS?

Raymond666 — Wed, 22 May 2013 21:53:47 GMT

Hi, everyone! :)

I was just wondering, should I include my high school GPA on my UCAS application? I've just moved from England to America and am currently in my junior year of high school.

However, since I wasn't a freshman or a sophomore here in America, do I need to include my GPA on my UCAS application, or can I just put down that I have a high school diploma without mentioning my GPA?

My GCSEs weren't that good (I only managed to get 4 GCSEs at a C or above), so if they were to be included in my GPA as my freshman and sophomore grades, I'm worried that they'll lower my overall GPA score. I'm doing much better now, though, and I'm currently trying very hard to improve my academic performance! :)

is the "asians sleeping in library" thing racist?

Moje aktualne plany na a-level to:

Which Uni to choose? - Royal Holloway or University of Surrey?

izzabellezi — Sun, 19 May 2013 08:03:32 GMT

I don't go to the University of Surrey, though I've lived in Surrey all my life, and it has a fairly good rep - I've got a friend who goes there and loves it.
You've just got to really inspect the course though - not the area, not the rep - to find out which is right. Too many people make the decision to go to a uni on rep basis alone, and that's why every year there are so many drop-outs.

What is life like in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

ronki23 — Sat, 18 May 2013 14:06:38 GMT

Hi,

I'm 23 in June and 10 years ago I went to the USA. I went to New Jersey/New York.

Manhattan is the greatest place I have ever visited. As a 13 year old, the number of toy shops selling Beyblades and stalls selling comic books and Yu-Gi-Oh was amazing. So many different ethnicities too. Within 5 minutes I saw two Nuns on the road and it was like Sister Act :P

I wonder, how does everything work in America?

Isn't your school system 5-14 for Junior High School and then 14-19 for High School? What are GCSE/A level equivalents because I read High School Diplomas are A-Level; does that mean you can't quit before/when you get the GCSE equivalent?

Is it really like the TV shows? In the UK we get people who fool around in school but who also get good grades at the same time. In the TV shows I see the popular kids sitting in the back of class doing nothing :p In the UK we are not allowed to bring cars into school though?

Why do you guys have so much invested into sports? In the UK all the state schools have sports but not the range of sports that you have. We don't have the likes of NCAA though.

What free TV channels do you guys have? Which ones are free and which are on cable?

Where do you guys go for shopping? I know you have Wal Mart and Costco- any other popular stores? I heard you have Tescos but it is under another name.

Finally, is there a state/part of a state that EVERYBODY likes because some states are made fun of by others :p

Not so much a question about your Uni as opposed to how you address the job situation in the UK- which could be described as pretty horrific at the moment for non-EU citizens. It's almost a certainty that, short of Oxbridge (and that too, not as a guarantee), most non-EU citizens won't be able to stay in the UK for work.

I just started my channel on Youtube and i recently made a video about my experience with getting from my country to UK since i am an international student.

I remember last year around this time i had found TSR and i kept looking for stories where people pretty much gave advice but in the same time shared a bit of their experience and this is exactly what i did in my video.

If you wanna check it out that would be great and you are more than welcomed to leave comments with suggestions and/or requests.

I do plan on making more videos that cover subjects such as:

-What to bring to university
-Accommodation
-Things that i wish people told me before i came to UK
-Social/Uni life

and so on..

Thank you for reading this and i hope this video will help you all :)

How often do schools give conditional offers to overseas students based on their predicted AP scores?

My situation is as follows: I'm taking two APs this year (Calculus AB and World History) and plan to take more next year. I'm also taking SAT Subject tests, as some universities accept them as well.
My question is, are the following universities known to accept international students based on their predicted AP scores and/or SAT tests already taken?

Hello TSR,

I am not sure if this is the right section to place this but mods please move as appropriate.

I was hoping someone could kindly help me with something.

I am looking for the following:

1.) Does anyone have any links or sources which provide ranks of universities and A-levels on an international level?

2.) Also I need to have the grade conversions to UK version for international universities? i.e. 5.0 is equal to 2.1 (example)

I would be most grateful if someone could offer to help provide links or sources. It would be appreciated if someone can give me information in one document summarizing key information if anyone had anything on either A-levels or university.

If not any help would do!

Thank you

If French is not your first language, you may be asked to provide proof of French language proficiency. C1 (near-fluent) is the level of French needed to study in France. However, this should not deter you from applying!

One of the perks of studying in France is that tuition fees are not expensive at all - it goes up to 600€ for an undergraduate degree. :)

In one of the emails, I forgot to state the local currency like I'm supposed to (but it's stated in the bank statements), will I be penalized for this? And I'm confused, I got my cas number and the people from the visa department have contacted me asking for bank statements, CAS and the usual. So do I also have to submit an application online via UKBA? Where does the biometrics appointment part come in? Sorry but this is all thoroughly confusing to me. I'm terrified of ****ing up and then having to redo the whole thing and worse still, miss my course start date.

Newbie here. I'm aware I already posted this in the Welcome Lounge,
but that was an accident!
Hey there Student Room xx
I'm originally of Indian descent, but lived in the UK for most of my life (I'm a British citizen). Recently, my family and I relocated back to South India.
My plan has always been to return to the UK for University, or in the worst case, post-grad. The likelihood is that I'll be pursuing a career path in either economics or science (most probably the latter).
I was wondering if the members of student room, especially anyone with past experience of applying to the UK (from outside of the EU) or teachers currently working in universities, had any advice, or could point me in the direction of a similar post? Or a more suitable forum to post this in where I might get the response I'm looking for?
Should I start volunteering and charity work already? As I recall my old careers adviser telling me, the two, combined with work experience, are a crucial part of a university application. Do you think the same criteria is applicable for an international candidate? I'm aware that individual universities have their own grade requirements. Also, could you give me a general idea about the current prospects of me gaining admission in a British university now/in the next few years? Is it more practical for me to wait and just do a post-grad qualification in the UK? Will I have to pay regular citizen fees? Or International?
Appreciate the time!! xxxx

Also, if I get a conditional offer and need to send AP scores, but the universities that need them don't have an SAT or College Board code, how do I send those scores?

Karakterer er ikke det viktigste, det er noe du maa huske paa. Ja, de gir deg en inngangsbillett til aa bli vurdert, men din personal statement + language skills er like viktig som karakterene dine.
Jeg kommer nok selv til aa soke til LSE og satser paa a gaa der om to aar naar jeg er ferdig med bacheloren her i UK saa jeg har sett litt rundt selv.

Gode referanser, GOD SOEKNAD, gode karakterer og gjerne frivillig arbeid eller jobberfaring er store pluss paa enhver mastersoeknad (men de som allerede gaar der vet nok mer om det enn jeg.)

Anbefaler deg aa sjekke ut alle inntakskrav de har samt tips, og ogsaa evt. ta kontakt med Study Across the Pond for gratis veiledning om du foeler behov for det. De kan sikkert hjelpe deg samt gi gode tips til skriving av personal statement (tror ogsaa de hjelper de som ikke bare soeker til samarbeidsuniversitetene de har). Ellers boer du kunne snakke med BI om hjelp ogsaa.

I just finished my BA degree in Illustration and would like to study a further year of Honors In Illustration in the USA (new York, Canada) or somewhere in Europe (Madrid, Germany, Netherlands).

Trouble is, I spoke to the School of Visual Arts in New York and they said they only take students into Honors if they have studied with them from first year. I don't want to redo a degree which I already have just to be able to do Honors and so I need a place that accepts international degree students into their Honors Illustration Courses.

I'd like the institution I go to, to be in the same league as the School of Visual Arts in New York but I have no idea where to start looking and am feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Any one Irish?

I'd say there's quite a few of them :) There's even an Irish Society thread.
I'm not Irish but I'm moving to Dublin in a couple of months :D

Moving near philadelphia

LFCKID2000 — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:14:14 GMT

I am thinking of relocating near Philadelphia on a permanent basis. I have a 16 year old daughter about to finish her GCSE's here and then start her A levels in the UK in Sep 2013.

How easy it to transition to the US education system given that she has 2 years before she would graduate at 18 in the US before choosing a university in the US?

Does the US have the equivalent of A Levels? If so, are they similar in length to the UK?

How do Canadians like uni in England?

Well I met a student from Canada at my uni who was doing her post-grad here, she said is preferring it here and intended to stay once finished.

Obviously I am not saying her case is representative of all Canadian students though. :)

Any Canadians out there?

Hey there! I live in Mississauga too! I used to go to Wilfrid Laurier (for my MSW).

In the fall I am going to move to the University of Cambridge and will be living in Darwin College (residence).

Yes, yourself? Have you made your uni decision?

Good options for Masters study (not UK)

IX_Marius — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:36:06 GMT

Hi,
I'm a Norwegian guy that studied in the UK (graduated 2004 with a BA), and am thinking of doing a Masters. Ignoring the fact that I haven't decided whether it's worth it or not (experience in the work environment counts for more in my opinion), what places would you suggest I look at as options outside of the UK?

Things I'd be looking for:
1- good reputation school
2- int'l student body
3- developed country, no 'up and coming' schools

Btw, the US is obviously the first option that seems obvious, but it seems quite expensive to me... is it any cheaper for an MA/MBA elsewhere?

Cheers!

No problem :)

The uni campus is right on the edge of the city centre, but most of the accommodation is a bit further out. It took me half an hour or so to walk there from the main campus, it's just straight down the same road. Took 5/10 mins on the bus back (it's the busiest bus route in Europe apparently, so no shortage of buses :p)

This map should help: http://goo.gl/maps/lxiZu
That's the main campus, follow the road south until you see 'Fallowfield Campus', that's the student village :)

SAT's; hard or easys

Hi I was just wondering when it would be the right time to take the American SAT exams for Maths, Writing and critical thinking as i would like to study abroad. Would it be advisable to take the exams at GCSE or A-levels...

Universities accommodation?

aari — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:14:49 GMT

I have the exact confusion. Since my course is for only a year, I would like some advice too!

Thanks for the post ML! :D

France University / Grande Ecole?

Liana7707 — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:10:03 GMT

First of all, you should take note of the following:

1) In France, the "écoles normales supérieures" are extremely pretigious universities which are know as "Grandes Ecoles". They are outside the mainstream university sysyem, which is run by the government.
2) To get into one of these schools, you must have an excellent grasp of the French language and must then apply to the prepartory classes which take two years to complete. These are extremely selective as well, and students who are accepted follow an especially rigorous curriculum. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classe_...es_%C3%A9coles

There are many schools which have a good reputation for economics in France, (Like Toulouse School of Ecomomics)but again it would be wise if you were fluent in French before applying, as many do not offer courses in English. It is not usually hard to get in but as a foreign student it might be a little more complicated.

Paris I is not a bad university, but you must remember that every school has it's pros and cons depsite where they might be or what their reputation might dictate.

I would recommend you try out Toulouse School of Economics, but again I would suggest looking at English speaking countries first as France is not widely known to be accomodating for those who speak no French. :)
