<p>What school here in America would compare to St. Andrew’s in terms of how hard it is to get in?</p>
<p>Is there any schools a 2.8 Student, with 5 honors classes(senior year), 3 varsity sports, tons of community service and leadership, with greats teacher and counselor recs can get into in England?</p>
<p>Thanks a ton.</p>
<p>kings college, nottingham, leeds, birmingham</p>
<p>Eh? King’s is fairly competitive. I’d suggest Liverpool, which is very underrated, IMHO. </p>
<p>Bristol, Manchester, and Edinburgh are good reaches.
Durham, Warwick, and Manchester are good matches.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that UK universities place far more emphasis on GPA and test scores than American universities; ecs play a lesser role.</p>
<p>Mancester wants SAT of 1200 or 3, 3+ on AP test. I’ve only taken one AP test, and haven’t taken the SAT so that’s out. What are the requirements for Warwick, I’m having a hard time finding them.</p>
<p>Another thing to keep in mind that UK universities have admissions policies that vary in different subjects. A Chemistry course, for example, would expect A-level, IB, or AP coursework in chemistry. Since you haven’t taken the SAT or AP exams, I’m not sure what to suggest. </p>
<p>I suggest you start by looking at <a href=“http://www.the-student-room.co.uk%5B/url%5D”>www.the-student-room.co.uk</a>. It’s the British CC and is pretty helpful.</p>
