Keith Williams+FollowWhat should be noted when applying to universities in the UK?1. The most important thing is that your university or college is recognized by British schools! If your undergraduate university is not on the list of American universities recognized by British schools, your application may even be directly rejected by AI. 2. In the UK, universities do not admit students based on their specific majors but directly to specific courses (which are called "majors" in the US). The key point of the application lies in whether you are suitable for the course. 3. British universities value the adaptability of your courses. Academic performance is important, but top universities are more eager to see your academic abilities beyond what you have learned at school. They don't care whether you have participated in sports or joined unrelated clubs, or what kind of volunteer activities you have done. 4. Good universities in the UK place great emphasis on GPA. If your GPA is relatively low, don't consider popular majors as the competition pressure is too high. 5. The first wave of applications in the UK usually starts around September. A few schools will open earlier, but many of those that open earlier can only be submitted but not accepted. #StudyAbroad #UKUniversityAdvice #Universityapplication #ApplicationTips #UKvsUS #CollegeTips 30Share
Keith Williams+FollowHow do American students convert their GPA when studying in the UK?British universities usually do not understand the GPA/GPR in the United States. Their highest score Settings and the reverse order of the scores are quite different from ours. So it is best to clearly note on the resume that 4.0 is the highest. This is especially important if your GPA is high and you don't want to be ignored. In addition, British schools are very strict in grading grades. In the United States, 80% is considered just okay, but in the UK, 80% indicates that a student is excellent. Here are the usual two sets of grade conversion tables. If you need: A+ : 90% A: 87% A- : 81% B+ : 74% B: 67% B- : 61% C+ : 54% C: 47% C- : 41% D+ : 35% D: 30% D- : 24% Another set: 80+ A+ 72-79 A 68-72 A- 65-68 B+ 62-65 B 58-62 B- 55-58 C+ 52-55 C 48-53 C- 45-48 D+ 42-45 D 40-42 D- Less than 40 is a failing grade #StudyAbroad #StudyAbroadUK #UKUniversityAdvice #CollegePrep #UniversityTips 141Share
