im looking into applying to the university of edinburgh as an american and i’m still confused with grades wise and what test scores to submit cuz i only have my sat scores and stuff but this was still quite helpful :))
This video was super helpful, thanks! but how do your teachers add predicted IB scores to your application? is it through references or on the education section when entering IB diploma qualifications?
I'm not an expert on the subject, but I think requirements are usually more flexible. Here's a link with some helpful info - www.studyin-uk.com/study-options/foundation/#:~:text=The%20foundation%20course%20acts%20as,culture%20in%20preparation%20for%20university.
Hi, I want to apply to lse, my current a level subjects are Bio Math and Econs. If I get A* for all of them what are my chances of getting in. Should I be doing a level chemistry ? Also if I do as fm do the recognize it even tho it’s not the full a level?
Three a stars is an excellent score! I would look into the requirements for the specific course you're interested in and reach out to LSE admissions with your questions.
@@sophielogy yeah I want to do economics at lse I just wanted to get a second opinion, if my subject combo is good enough like would doing chemistry be better or is bio good enough
honestly not that important, especially if they're not super related to the course you want to study. I would devote only a few sentences or a very small paragraph to them.
Heyy :) . I loved your video it was supper helpful however I do have a question . Q) You said u weren’t European but you’re going to attend uni in the UK. What I want to know is that isn’t uni really expensive for international students?, how do u manage it?
University is an investment and an expensive one in a lot of places, unfortunately. UK universities are significantly less expensive than US colleges. If affordability is an issue, I would consider doing some research into private and government scholarships, as well as private loans if that's feasible for your situation.
most unis will consider A-level/IB marks more. You should consult the websites of the unis you want to apply to or talk with their admissions officers.
@@priyanshusharma8573 I didn't apply to those schools so I can't advise you. Again, I would recommend looking at their websites or talking with someone at admissions.
Hi, thank you for the informative video! I was just wondering whether your predicted score of 39 was out of 42 or 45 i.e. was the extra 3 points for EE CAS TOK included? thanks!
for most UK university’s it was saying they required 3 ap scores above a 4. In my highschool we have ap classes but there not an important thing so teachers don’t make the classes a big deal. I’ve only been able to take 1 ap class in my junior year and i’m taking another my upcoming senior year. What concerns me is in my whole class no one got above a 3 which is normal for my school. Will this affect me getting into UK school?
Hi Sydney! I would recommend contacting the admissions department at the uni(s) you're interested in. I know they sometimes give contextual offers, with lower grades, based on an applicant's background. I don't know if this would apply to your particular case, but I would reach out to admissions to try! www.ukuniversitysearch.com/blog/post/what-are-contextual-offers
Hey there, presently I am in 10th std and I want to do computer science and physics and I wanna complete my education in UK universities. Will you please help me in that purpose. 🙏🏻
Hi! I would recommend looking at a prospectus for the course you're interested in on uni websites and look at application info closer to the date. It would be great if you could find someone who has already completed the application process for those subjects/is currently studying them. Best wishes!
The UK is a lot more focused on academic performance than on being 'well-rounded,' which is valued in the US. It's always good to show interest in your subject and other things outside of school but admissions will primarily look at grades.
depends on when you want to start! If you want to start right after high school, then apply the summer between junior and senior year. If you want to take a gap year, apply once you finish high school (or apply before senior year and defer your application).
will depend on the uni! Some ask for specific AP grades, or SAT, or a combination of both. Here is an example from uni of Edinburgh : www.ed.ac.uk/studying/international/country/americas/united-states-of-america. I would check with the specific universities you're interested in applying to.
@@sophielogy history! i got my lse offer today and now im super conflicted about which uni i should firm, where would u have gone if you didnt choose nyu? (sorry if this has been mentioned already in a vid)
hi! would you still recommend applying if I have a 775 at HL and KCL requires a 766? I also am predicted to have total IB score of 36, which meets the requirement. My 5 is in chemistry (not related to law at all, but it was the only option at my school), but i still have 7s in history and english. my grades are also wonky because of covid...ANYWAYS I just want to know if I should even bother applying or if they will completely overlook my application
Hi Anaum! I would say your best bet is to talk to someone who works in admissions at King's and ask them yourself! If you really love the school and don't mind potentially 'wasting' a space in your UCAS app, I would go for it. Or you can always go through clearing or adjustment during the summer and apply to King's that way!
When you said you applied for law even though you want to study politics, what type of politics are you studying? I want a degree in political science and the only reason I'd stay in the US is to study American politics, but what entails a political degree in the UK? :)
In the US, I'm centering my studies on comparative and international politics, as well as the interplay between politics and psychology. That's based on the courses that I've chosen, not required. In terms of politics in the UK that would depend on what uni you choose. I would recommend looking at the sites of unis that you want to apply to and see what modules they offer. I mostly applied to law because I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to politics, which I did in the end!
One!! At my school they would ask for 2 references from teachers and the guidance counselor would compile them and submit as one :) here's the info www.ucas.com/undergraduate/applying-university/how-get-ucas-undergraduate-reference
Can i study there after passing class 12. If yes then should i apply as soon as possible? I need help, please let me know. Btw I’m talking about uni of bristol. Thank u ☺️
All are great unis! I think Bristol and Durham may be better ranked? Rankings aside, you should consider what you're looking for in a uni and apply to the one(s) that meet your criteria.
@@sophielogy yeah, right! I’ve got unconditional offers from the three of them, and I was/(am) really confused. I’ll definitely do more research.Thank-you!💕
The last time I checked, Durham was higher ranked. Edinburgh's course is in Scottish law, so to practice in England you have to do the legal conversion course after, although I'm not sure how it will work now as I know the qualifications for solicitors are changing. However, I have heard great things about Edinburgh from friends who attend!
Great video!! I can totally relate ;) I also made a vid on how I got into LSE, UCL, Warwick, Edinburgh and some universities in the States if you'd like to check em out! xx
A good place to start is by looking at rankings for that course across different unis. I would also look at the course prospectus. There you can also get a feel if the course is a good fit for you. Maybe also look at student reviews, employer rankings, where grads go to work/further study, etc.
Hi, Thanks for the video! I am in IB as well and have 766 in my HL along with a predicted score of 39 but I have a 1280 SAT (never really got to give it again cuz of COVID) so do you think I should give my SAT score or should I not give my SAT score since I am also applying to kings, bristol, ans also to Manchester and LSE
mmm I believe that if you submit your IB scores you don't necessarily have to submit the SAT score (but double-check this!). Since your IB predicted score is pretty strong, I wouldn't worry too much. If you have a counselor/advisor I would consult with them. Or, you can try to contact UCAS. p.s. I had the same overall predicted score :)
Unfortunately, in many places going to uni can be very expensive (although I don't believe it should be!). Financial contributions from family, scholarships, loans, etc can help cover the cost of studies.
Concise, straight forward and professional. Thanks Sophie! xx
thanks so much!!

Wait. Did you choose NYU over LSE? why? In LSE better ranked worldwide?
She's going to NYU. Check the description.
yes, I did! For a few reasons. Maybe I'll make a video about it if there's enough interest :)
i subscribed bc of the series of unfortunate events joke
😂
haha glad you liked it
hey . thank you for the video. please tell me how did you find a king's agent for the king's apply portal
This video was super helpful, thanks! but how do your teachers add predicted IB scores to your application? is it through references or on the education section when entering IB diploma qualifications?
your referee will add your scores to your application! I believe there's a section for them to do so on the application.
What about extra curriculars and community service ?
Not usually a factor
not super important for the UK, mostly for the US. But, if you did something related to your subject it might be worth mentioning!
@@sophielogy oh okay, thank you so much 😊
Do you know what is the "user name" and" password" in case of "University login" in Edinburgh University
I would try your UCAS login or check if you have any emails from them for their portal.
I was wondering if it is super hard to get accepted into foundation courses? Or the usual requirements to get accepted into foundation year?

Does King's College London interview its computer science applicants?
To my knowledge, KCL doesn't do interviews. But maybe someone who applied for CS can provide better insight.
Ok thank you very much ☺☺
Hi!! I was wondering how important are extracurriculars for uk universities ? And also when do you mention your extracurriculars in the application?
honestly not that important, especially if they're not super related to the course you want to study. I would devote only a few sentences or a very small paragraph to them.

Can you list the name of uk Universities which only considered 12th marks because I have good marks only in 12 not in 11th

How many Alevels UK most universities require??? Please answer
3
Hi! I didn't do A-levels but I believe people usually do 4 in the first year and 3 in the second. Unis only really require 3 though.
what was your offer for King's? was it lower than your predicted? :)
I did the IB - my offer was 35 points with 766 at HL if I remember correctly and I was predicted a 39, so yes!

Do you need to have many achievements like the US?
The UK is a lot more focused on academic performance than on being 'well-rounded,' which is valued in the US. It's always good to show interest in your subject and other things outside of school but admissions will primarily look at grades.
@@sophielogy thanks for replying.
So do you apply the summer before your senior year or the summer after you’ve finished high school???
depends on when you want to start! If you want to start right after high school, then apply the summer between junior and senior year. If you want to take a gap year, apply once you finish high school (or apply before senior year and defer your application).
I’m taking 6 aps in my senior year lmao. Will they give me a conditional offer given that I get three 5s.
