What standardised tests are you sitting? Have done SAT French with listening (770) and SAT I in October. Will have to sit another subject test, which is unfortunate, given that I did French, P.E. and Psychology at A2. Other than French, which I have already done, the subject matter in the other two subjects do not lend themselves to showing off my knowledge in any of the remaining subject tests

Will you be applying for Financial Aid? Yes. If for some reason the US does not work out, I will go and study somewhere in Europe or become a full time Football Coach.

Are you applying through the Common App, Universal App or Other? Common app for the most part. Though not an option for some of the scholarships I am pursuing
1.
What's your prospective majors: Probably undeclared. But if I had to choose now, philosophy.

Additional Comments: been waiting to apply for three years! It's been on my mind ever since we had an Admissions officer come and visit my school. Compared to UCAS and the heavy emphasis on the personal statement, American admissions seem to be more interested in the person. That may seem quite a contestable claim, but the fact that there are so many merit scholarships (in the states) would indicate that potential leadership and other ability in prospective students is valued immensely. That is not to say that UK uni's do not value these qualities, but I do feel they do not appreciate them in the way they should.
