Recently, I had a look on the applications to US Unis online. It looks like some of the top unis there will take on people who only have A'level results. Some of them will very kindly pay for everything if you need them to. Will you try? Deadline for most unis is Jan 1st.

How do you apply? Do they have an organisation similar to UCAS? Got any website addresses that I can go to to get more info? Any help much appreciated.

I found a web site for the Universities Research Association. I assume all listed US unis are very good. These include Harvard, Yale, Princeton and so on. Worth having a look at.

Also...does any know what to do about funding? Can you still get student loans from the UK? I have just read on a few US uni websites that you must sign a form to say that you can finance yourself while in the US.

Of course, A-Levels a more advanced qualification than the simple "high school diploma" which you get from graduating from a U.S high school. You will however have to sit the SAT1 (and depending on where you wish to apply the SAT2 as well) in addition to this though.

Unless you can get a full scholarship, it's not worth it.

Yeah but can you get student loans from the UK to finance your study overseas or would I need to find the money myself?
I am assuming that I would be too late to apply to US universities for entry in 2004?
Also, does anyone know of any websites that are designed for UK students applying to american universities? I am really confused on how to go about it at the moment.
Sorry for all the questions! Thanks for your help guys!

I think Yale says that A'levels are ok. Make sure you take a look at the uni's addmission sites though.
