Original post by kiera28
I am from the UK interested in applying to study Psychology (and Theatre) at the University of Miami- on their website in the 'international applicants' section it says: 'The SAT/ACT report is not required and should not be submitted for admission consideration from applicants who are attending schools outside the United States.'
Does this mean I should apply without taking the SATs and just send off my Application with my GCSE and A Level results? I will have them by the point of application as I will be applying at he beginning of my gap year (after I receive my A Level results.)
So am I in the clear not to take SATs? Even though I haven't taken Maths since GCSE?

If that's what it states on the website, then yes you'll be fine without it.

To be honest, all of the schools applied to are reaches with these scores; Fordham being a match, but not a safety

NYU is SAT-optional. But I heard it doesn't have a campus.

Yeah, you're right. And I got all the rejections now
Luckily I got my offers from UCL and Imperial.
I got offer from Fordham too, but it's still too expensive compared to UK unis like UCL. So I don't think it's worth the price, since UCL is much more reputable (and have more resources?). What do you think?
I also got offer from UC Riverside too. Now I don't know how to choose.

I have only heard bad things about UCR - I think you're much better off going to UCL
Don't be too down... UCL and Imperial are very good
Fordham is actually a good school; well respected
But I would definitely go to Imperial or UCL if I were you. UC Riverside would not be in the discussion.
All of the other schools that gave you offers are far more prestigious

Bad things like what?
Yeah, I think most probably I'll be going to UCL.
How about you? Where are you going?

From what I've heard, it's just not a very nice environment academically and although the location's decent, there's not much else good to be said. Good luck at UCL! I'll be going to upstate NY
Fordham is known in the north east. It's a Jesuit university, so it has a decent reputation. It's not an elite school, and suffers in rankings due to it not being a scientific powerhouse.
