<p>From what I’ve gathered talking to UK students and friends who’ve opted for education abroad, most UK schools will accept Americans with open arms, so long as they have decent stats (B average, 1900s SAT, a few SAT II scores over 650). The reason being that they won’t extend you aid, and foreign fees are much higher. They use your tuition to help pay for local students. Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, UCL, Imperial, and St. Andrew’s are the main exceptions. But most others will be reasonably open.</p>
