Starting new school Monday - best way to dress for first day

Starting new school Monday - best way to dress for first day?
I start a new school on Monday and my first in the US after moving from the UK. The school doesn't have a uniform. So what's the best way to dress that won't make me stick out too much in a bad way?

It will differ depending on the school. But generally the school reports are sent out towards the end of the school year. In the school that i go to, when you are in yr9 you get your reports sent out in february so you can use your reports to help you choose what courses you want to take for GCSE.

just apply... you dont need anything else...

Different universities & disciplines will have different requirements. For instance, if you wish to study business, you will likely need to take the GMAT exam. I'm doing law, where the application process was fairly easy: fill in form, 3 academic references, & 2,000 word essay. I'm sure you will have some visa requirements coming from the States which you'll need to check out with your embassy & the university. By the way, the UK isn't like the US in only offering e.g. medecine & law at grad school: one does them as undergrad. If you wish to do a grad degree, e.g. masters/phd etc: then you would apply direct to university. However, if it is undergrad degree, then be aware that UK has a central applications process, called UCAS through which most students will apply. I'm not sure if you would do so also given that you haven't come through UK secondary school system.

The universities in the UK all have web pages which explain the admissions process for international students. They even talk about visas and etc.

Canada to UK... Which school should I attend

Canada to UK... Which school should I attend?
I'll be 18 years old at the end of this school year and I'm graduating high school in Canada (Grade 12). I really want to go to school in England next year, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for University. Should I go to sixth form and upgrade my marks and take courses I didn't take the first time around? Is that even allowed? And how would I apply?

I haven't got a clue what does school mean in American English. in UK majority of the students between 18-20 years old go to colleges and spend 2 years in colleges, then they will achieve college degree like HND for eg. after that you may apply to any universities in the nation. if you don't want to join college you may also go straight to university if you've got good results in A's Levels, but i am sure university will tell you to study from university foundation which is going to take 1 year to finish, after that 2nd year, 3r year etc....depends on your chosen course.
