<p>Hi there,
I am a current US highschool student interested in studying biochemistry in the UK. I am curious about what unis are the best for this subject.</p>
<p>Also, what are some recommendations for a student like me if financial issues are something that needs to be dealt with, are there any international scholarships or funding that can be received? </p>

<p>Do read the descriptions of each course: you will find (if you look) very detailed descriptions. </p>
<p>Your application will be evaluated on standardized tests (SATs/<em>relevant</em> subject APs) > Personal Statement = Recommendation. Only ECs relevant to biochem will be considered. GPA will not be a factor except for a small number of unis, and will not be a huge deal for those. </p>
<p>AP Chem and Calc and Bio to at least SATII level are essential. For the top tier unis, scores of 5 / 700+ are necessary; lower down league tables some 4s / 600+ will be ok. You can find this info for each course - look for the ‘subject finder’ (biochemistry), and ‘entry requirements’. For A at A level, read 5 for AP or 650 - 750 (depending on the uni) for SATII; for B at A level read 4 for AP or 600-700 (depending on the uni). </p>
<p>You can use FAFSA for the UK. There are very very few scholarships or funds for international students, and few if any of them amount to a significant percentage of the total cost: for practical purposes, assume that you will not be able to get any funding.</p>
