American UCAS applicant

Hi,

Anyone know if the SAT or ACT are required and if so, where to post the scores?

The same with transcripts, I have a couple from 2 places, how should I go about adding those?

Thanks

You need to contact each Uni you are applying to and see what other information they need from you apart from the standard UCAS application (which is of course geared towards UK applicants). Each Uni may have a different procedure and some may want to see copies of your test scores/academic record, others not.

It depends on the course and uni as to what ACT / SAT scores they want, and indeed if they require them. You should be able to find this info on their website, either on the course's page, or on a page for international students. If it's not there, then email the department that you intend to study in.

You should be aware, however, that they are usually most interested in relevant APs, because they are the closest thing to the A Levels that UK students study.

When it comes to entering the SAT and ACT onto UCAS, you may be able to find them under the list of qualifications that are already accounted for on UCAS, but if not, then you can enter them as an 'other' qualification.
