<p>I want to go to either law or business school in the UK/maybe Denmark, and I’d love your help with ideas to get me there.</p>
<p>A few notes:
-I don’t care about being able to work/come back to the US (trust me, this isn’t just a I think I’ll love Europe thing, I’ve lived there, loved it, and want it to be home)
-I speak Norwegian, so I speak and understand Danish, and Denmark is one of my favorite countries so going to school there isn’t as unrealistic as it may seem
-I’m biased towards law, and therefore to the UK, as school and finding a job in my first language will be easier.
-I’m smart, good grades, good GPA, excellent test scores
-I need to be able to work where I go, so the UK is also nice for that, as students can work.</p>
<p>From what I know, you’ll most likely get no or very little financial aid. So you’ll be paying completely out of pocket for school, where you live, etc.</p>
<p>You don’t call universities schools in the UK. </p>
<p>In the UK, if you’re quite smart, you apply to either Cambridge or Oxford (you can’t apply to both.) and to another 4 universities (as fall backs.) The favorite fall backs to Oxbridge for medicine are UCL, Imperial, King’s and either Manchester or Newcastle, and Nottingham, Bristol and Durham for some. Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee and St Andrews if you’re considering going to Scotland.</p>
<p>If you were looking to apply this year, Oxbridge’s deadline has already passed. So that’s out. Note also that some schools in the UK are a bit strange - some require 1 year of college + your test scores to be considered as a 1st year applicant. For example, UCL says:</p>
<p>“To be eligible for consideration students must have usually obtained passes in four, full-year Advanced Placement (AP) examinations at grades 4/5. Alternatively the High School Graduation diploma plus a minimum of 1300/1600 or 1950/2400 in SAT I plus the successful completion of one year at a recognised US university would be considered.”</p>
<p>I suggest you go to the website of UCAS (it’s like the Common App) to find out more about UK universities. Also, a site comparable to College Confidential might be useful – it’s called The Student Room.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t you need to read law in the country where you planned on practicing after graduating? Would a UK law degree even be of much use in Denmark?</p>
<p>Would you be legal to stay and work in the UK or Denmark after graduation? Are you a citizen of an EU country? Don’t assume that you will be able to stay without looking into this. Many foreign students in the US have to leave after graduation because student visas won’t allow them to work here.</p>
<p>If the OP were to have UK residency, then yes, the OP can practice anywhere in the EU member states.</p>
<p>“European Union law permits European Union citizens with LL.B. degrees from Ireland or the UK, who practise law in one of these countries for three or more years, to practise also in every other member state.”</p>
<p>It seems that Scotland is better for an American to go for university as its higher education system is more similar to the US’s than England (for instance, English universities are only for three years whereas Scotland are for four years) and it is easier to get in (as an international or American applicant).</p>
<p>I suggest you research all the universities and check their entry requirements.</p>
<p>NOTE: The only university I know of in the UK that asks for your transcript is the university of St. Andrews. The University of Edinburgh, for example, won’t ask for your grades; only your test scores will be evaluated.</p>
