<p>I think many of those foreign students are not from the USA. According to University College London’s website, there are currently 257 American students studying at graduate level and 58 American students studying at undergraduate level at UCL. So only 58 of those 2291 students are from America.</p>
<p>To be eligible for consideration students, American 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 recognized US university would be considered. Any student who has 1950/2400 SAT and 1 year of college credit ( or passed 4 full year AP exams at grade 4/5) should be competitive for top 25 or 50 universities or LACs. Giving this criteria, I would say that the minimum requirement for consideration is very high.</p>
