Schools in the UK?!

There is no real concept of transfer in the UK. You will be starting from year 1.

Out of all that information posted above, the only grades which are relevant are those associated with Maths/Physics and possibly computing if it involved Maths. As you already know, in the UK you usually only study one subject, so that is all they care about for admissions. It does sound like you will be a good fit for the UK as you are very focussed on your subject. The main problem I can envisage is that UK admissions are rolling for the vast majority of schools. Therefore, though the deadline for internationals is 30th June, most UK students will have applied by January and many courses will be full by now. In 2012 tuition fees will treble for UK students. So there is bound to be an increase in applications this year. No-one is going to take a year out that will cost them £18,000 (£6000 a year tuition increase for the next 3 years at least). Apply as soon as possible.
