Ø  The UCAS Application for UK universities

Applications for 2024 can now be submitted. Every student who wants to apply for courses starting in 2024 needs to register and create an account in the UCAS Hub. From here, students can explore all their options and start an application.

Ø United Kingdom (UK) College Admissions

The UK is becoming an increasingly popular Higher Education destination for students across the USA with significant increases in applications every year. A recent Bloomberg article provides additional information here. 

The UK offers significant benefits for families including: 

·         A globally recognized education system, with many world-leading universities 

·         3 year bachelor degrees, significantly cheaper than many US alternatives 

o On average US families save ~$100,000 by going to the UK 

·         A simple, transparent admissions process that assesses applicants on academic merit 

·         A safe, supportive environment offering an outstanding international experience 

Our counseling team is therefore pleased to announce that we have purchased membership to a comprehensive information source on UK Higher Education. UK College Admissions has been created by a UK admissions representative with over 10 years’ experience supporting students, parents, and counselors in the USA. The website contains a UK university database and a detailed video library, recorded using US specific terminology and covering a huge range of topics including: 

·         A step-by-step video guide to the UK’s UCAS application 

·         Admission requirements including applying to Oxford or Cambridge 

·         The high-quality UK Higher Education system explained 

·         Housing, Financing, Safety, Healthcare & Student life 

If you are interested in exploring this UK option and would like access to this resource, then please email Mrs. Mertel, and we will arrange access for you or alternatively just click here to register for instant access. If you would like to do a little initial research the ‘Why Choose the UK’ video is free to access here.

Did you know?

The UK personal statement is very different to the US one; it’s more about your ability in the subject, knowledge of the field, and preparation for study. Here are two videos to help students write their UK personal statement!
