@cupcake is right- the UK doesn’t do transfers. There are a few programs that have an ‘advanced standing’ option, which will accept an AA that includes the right modules to allow you to come in as a second year, but they are really the exception.

@Derivate, your referee is the person who can note that you are the top pupil in your school, but it won’t be seen as important.

@RFK68 and @nsrini07, as others have pointed out, UK universities (except St Andrews) do not see GPA as an important number, b/c they have no way to assess what it means (though enough US students are applying that you increasingly see either a reference to things such as a ‘solid’ or ‘strong’ GPA, which is deliberately vague. Standardized testing, your PS and LoR are the key variables.
