Potential International applicant

Hi, thanks for this thread.
I'm an international mature student(Korean,23)
Maybe I apply mathematics course, but I study management at my uni(3rd year) and my GPA is not good. so I really want to know how uni's GPA is important?
and most Korean apply foreign unis, they take SAT&AP. I'll take sat&sat2(math2, spanish, world history etc...), but AP is only for high schoolers in Korea. In this case what is the best way to replace AP? Also, is there any student just take SAT&STEP? If so, what score do i need? and how many mature students studying mathematics(each colleges)? This is last question. I contacted DRC,they said i'm eligible for international disabled fund. Does IDF aid financial support to me like tuition fees or living cost?

Sorry, I'm not good at English..........

Firstly, your English needs to good to be accepted by Cambridge.

Are you considering applying for undergraduate or postgraduate Maths? If it's undergraduate you will need, typically, 1,1 in STEP II and III.

Plus this page gives you info about South Korean applications:

However as far as I know you may have visa problems if you are considering applying for a 2nd undergraduate degree.

You should probably contact the mature colleges for more info:
* Lucy Cavendish (women only)
* Hughes Hall
* St Edmund's
* Wolfson

Note that mature students have a later deadline for applications: 1st March 2017
