UK Target Admissions?
Hello, fellow monkeys. I'll be applying to colleges in the near future and I wish to be in the UK. I'm planning on applying to the following schools: Oxford or Cambridge, LSE, Imperial, UCL, Warwick, Durham, Bristol, Nottingham, KCL, Edinburgh, and Bath.
I go to high school in the US and I was curious about the admissions processes for these schools. I know this isn't collegeconfidential lmao but I wanted to get a perspective from people in finance since that's what I intend on doing and the types of subtle differences in answers I'll get from that crowd and this crowd will be helpful to me. As a student from the US, what is different about admissions? It seems like SAT Subject Tests and APs tests are more important, while extracurriculars are less important. **Since I still have some time, what would you guys suggest I do to optimize my chances of getting into some of these schools. **Any and all advice is appreciated!
Depends what you want- Want a IBD job but no social life (@ me if you want but everyone knows it)- go to LSE
Want more academics- go to Oxbridge
The others are more balanced (Or I don't know much about student life there) and would group like this (all my opinion/based off Spring weeks, SA class and Grad class-semi-targets are where you can argue/re-arrange):
Target: Imperial, UCL, Warwick Strong Semi-Target: Bristol, Edinburgh, Nottingham Semi-target: Durham, KCL, Bath (less so than others from what I've seen)
Also think about whether you want to be in London- has its advantages for recruiting but also you're in London as a student- not as fun.
Optimise- get the grades but actually personal statement matters a lot too- why you want to study the subject you apply for.
lol fuck Imperial, there are about as many girls as there are unicorns on earth. In most cases I'd rather fuck an trans than them and the decently looking (by Imperial standards - the top 1%) think they are hot as they are just hanging out with 95% nerds that are yet to lose their virginity and have wet dreams on them when in reality they are just 5/10.
Also you'll be studying harder than anywhere else (Oxbridge included)
Undiagnosed autistics
International students
Virgins
This is why English ppl do not go to LSE/Imperial
LOL nice try
