USA admission requirements HELP

They'll look at your GCSE grades, they may consider A-level predicted grades, and they'll look at your SAT/ACT scores and admissions essays. I highly doubt they'll care about any mock exam results, and since the UK system is set up differently than the US system (notably, there is no running GPA system here) they won't be in a position to evaluate other "results" that aren't formally examined externally.

Hey! Thanks for replying. Did you apply to the US before?

I spent a while considering it (as I'm a US citizen, I just grew up here), and took the SAT etc, but the cost was prohibitive (unless I went to a state school in Maine, which was...not appealing; or if I got into Harvard/etc which was never going to happen) so in the end I didn't pursue it further.

oh cool, personally i would love to go to the US. But i dont want them to see my grade 10 grades lol. u sure about them not looking at mocks and grade 10 grades tho? sorry i dont wanna press u but i got different answer from different people so just reconfirming.

The only thing they're going to really be looking at are your qualifications that can be confirmed externally (by the exam boards) and possibly (since such a concept doesn't exist in the US) your predicted grades based on your academic reference's comments. Your SAT/ACT scores will be much more important as they will actually be directly comparable to US students.

A more relevant concern would be, how are you planning to pay for university in the US? SFE doesn't fund international study, you can't apply for FAFSA unless you're a US citizen, and you won't be eligible for in-state tuition for the same reason. With the exception of a handful of need blind universities (Harvard et al - which are also much more competitive than their UK counterparts, Cambridge having an average success rate of 20% compared to 5% at Harvard) there is extraodinarily limited scholarship funding.

Hi! So I have a question. For international students doing IGCSE, when they apply to USA are the requirements only IGCSE and predicted A level results? Or they want to look at IGCSE mocks and grade 10 results aside from IGCSE?

My Mock grades are bad and so are my grade 10s. I started getting serious in grade 11 so I only want them to see my IGCSE and A level predictions.

I know there are other requirements like SAT/ACT. But, do they look at grade 10 grades and any GCSE mocks?

Looking for people who have experience in applying to the US!

Thank you
