Seven years at medical school!

I'm guessing a medical degree would help.
3 :
You have to have a general certificate of education, and a lot of A levels,to enter in Medical School, in your case you will have to start in year one, i think the course it self it takes 5years, If you show your GCSE it will help you tremendously ,

How can I get into American College/School from the UK

How can I get into American College/School from the UK?
I'm 16 and turning 17 in June, It's always been my dream to move out of the UK and to live in America. I've visited a few times and love the country. I feel like I wasn't meant to live here and I just want to make the most out of my life and do what I want to do. If so can you tell me all the possibilities for me and what I would need to do, I will really appreciate all the answers given and hope you give me lot's of information. Thanks in Advance. Also I'd like to study Graphic Design which I hear America has a high demand in jobs for graphic designers. If any other additional information is needed just say and if you want to contact me in some way I can provide an email address or skype.

Graphic Design was in huge demand about five years ago, but now we are overflowing with graphic designers as it is a hugely popular major and we have way to many now, so it is really risky to study that and expect to find a job here. Depending on the school they may want you to have good A-levels, or if you are attending as art school they will consider your portfolio to be more important. You already have a passport so really as soon as you get everything together you will just apply. Find some schools that you would like to attend and look at their international admissions page, it will list all of the requirements there.

In the UK, it's a different kind of school system than the US. How does it work

In the UK, it's a different kind of school system than the US. How does it work?
For example, there's secondary school, is it the same thing as high school? I kind of want to know since some of my friends there go to secondary school. I never actually got the chance to ask them. haha.

It's surprising how many people ask this sort of thing... Secondary school is the sort of thing as an American High School, but at the same time very different. The most important differences are these: 1. Qualifictions & Specialisations. In the US you finish High School at 18 with a diploma, having taken SATs and for the clever ones APs. In the UK, secondary school proper finishes at 16 with GCSEs. A General Certificate of Secondary Education is an externally assessed qualifcation in a specific subject - like history or mathematics. It's assessed by formal exams and coursework (though the amount of coursework is now being reduced due to cheating). Students choose their GCSE options (beyond the compulsory subjects) at 14. It's the first significant choice they're allowed to make about their education. Typically there aren't many options due to the amount of subjects which are compulsory. Most students will get about 9 GCSEs with a grad of A* to C. Anything below a C is more or less worthless. High achievers will probably do 12 or more and get mostly A* or A. After 16 students can leave education, or take vocational qualifcations or A levels. A levels are the usual route. Usually secondary schools have a "sixth form" attached to them in which A levels are taught, but there are also "college of further education" which are separate from schools. A levels are academic qualifications in a specifc subject, also formally assessed and they take 2 years. Usually students start 4 subjects in the 1st year, and drop one, finishing with 3 full Alevels and 1 "AS" level. Many university offers of admission are conditional upon getting A level results of a certain level. 2. Assessment. Students are very heavily assessed in the UK - there are SATs (not important they way "SATs" are in the US) at 13 GCSEs at 16, AS levels at 17 and A levels at 18, in addition to the various mock tests that teachers run before each major test. 3. Differences in attitude. American schools often have various awards for student for everything from attendance to academic and sporting achieve. This isn't nearly so prevelant in the UK. There also seems to be a much greater emphasis on sporting achievement in the US - partly because of scholarships to universities based on sporting achievement. In the UK scholarships of any sort at university level are rare because the way universities are organised and paid for. 4. Cultural differences. There are a surprising number of denominational state schools. In some cases this is nominal (church of England schools are usually in fact open to all and make no serious enquiries about whether parents are practicing or even religious in anyway), but in others there is a real difference in admission limitations and education delivery (still within the national curiculum). There are also schools with small (by US standards) numbers of pupils, particularly in low population areas. Another substantial difference (for students at least) is that secondary schools have school uniforms (though FE colleges at 16-18 do not). It is also unheard of for schools to regularly have a police presence on site as I've heard is the case in some areas in the US. 5. Vocational Education. As well as academics GCSEs and A level, there are a host of "vocational" qualifications which are intended to prepare people for work rather than university. These include GNVQs (replacing 4 GCSEs), B-TECHs, HNDs, City & Guilds exams and so on.

Find out what school you want to attend and call or email their admissions office. Most of the schools are online and you can get all the information you need there. They have experience with students who come from other countries... call them and ask! Good luck!
2 :
Go to the university's website and request admissions materials for out-of-state or foreign students. They will send you everything you will need in order to apply. There will be a fee for making the application, which you will have to supply in US dollars (through your banking system or other means.) All universities and schools in the US have a URL that ends in .edu. There is a good book to look at that compares all the 4-year colleges and universities in the US. It's called Barron's Profiles of American Colleges. It's a large paperback book, costs around $20 US. You can order it through Amazon.com. It's invaluable in deciding which university to attend, and it also has the fees charged, the types of schools, the major subject comparisons, the pertinent facts about the universities and how many students are from foreign countries--and it tells you many things about the admissions process you will need to know. I highly recommend this for anyone looking into going to school in this country. Good luck to you! Here is the website for Barron's at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Profiles-American-Colleges-23rd/dp/0764171348

it's all a matter of opinion, right? ok why are you asking? is it because you are looking to go to that school, or what? there are good and bad points about private schools and public schools. whether a school is the best or among the best can be measured by lots of different things: college acceptance rate, activities availability, largest endowment, courses available, location. i am not sure any two people would agree on what is best if they have different views of the purpose of high school. just check out where the elite send their kids. that has to be the best, right?
2 :
It depends on what your looking for. I just got accepted to what I think is the best boarding school (my opinion of course) in the US. Cushing Academy, they have the best art facility in the country (for private/public schools, doesn't apply to universities or colleges) and have an amazing math and science facility. They also offer about 15 AP (Advanced Placement) courses and a surprising amount of electives/extracurricular activities. You can find almost every sport here too! Good luck with your search.

private schools in the uk, tend to turn into boarding schools, if thats what your looking for then there is a great school called Wentworth College. from experience i know that there is'nt really much of a difference between public/private schools, the kids are still quite nice :) x

You won't find scholarships to business schools in the US or UK. Student loans are how people pay because the theory is you'll have a good job afterwards and easily be able to pay off the loans. Be careful though, only top business schools give you a good chance of doing this.
2 :
Don't believe whatever you read. For my own experience I can tell you that IT IS possible to get partial or even full scholarships from schools and most of all I can tell you that GMAT is not everything! GMAT is just a part of ur application, until recently, the top schools did not even require a GMAT... they pay very much attention to ur resume, recommendation letters, and essays. It is important that you show urself as a mature person, with leadership potential and availability to well assembly into a group, etc. Go ahead with ur plans, prepare well and be sure that a strong application package could ensure a scholarship.
