Undergraduates Applying to the UK
As you may or may not know, students applying for undergraduate programs in England, Scotland, or Northern Ireland will need to meet the standards of the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) and apply through the UCAS system. This can be done online. CIS will send you detailed information about the online UCAS application once you have decided to apply. Students will need to submit, along with their high school diploma, either Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) scores with a minimum of 550 on each part or grades of 3 and above in at least two Advanced Placement Tests (AP).
