UK Boarding schools offering IB and good music program

UK Boarding schools offering IB and good music program?
I'm looking for a boarding school in the UK, preferably in England (although it's not too important), offering the IB, and with a good music (as well as drama) program. I'm 15 (16 in march) and hoping to go next year. Any help would be great. Thanks!

We are West Africans, he schools in UK.Do we need to mention in the Invitation letter that we are boyfriends

We are West Africans, he schools in UK.Do we need to mention in the Invitation letter that we are boyfriends?
My boyfriend has invited me to visit him in the UK. He is a student and therefore, only works part time. In the invitation letter he will send, do we need to mention that we are boyfriends as I understand they are prompt to give VISA to those that are legally married. I will also like to know if there is a difference between a letter of invitation and a letter of sponsorship and to whom should that letter be addressed and sent: to me to send later to the embassy with my Form or straight to the embassy?. Thanks in advance for answering me.

How can I attend a UK medical school

How can I attend a UK medical school?
Hi, I am planning for my future and have decided that I want to live in the UK. I, however, wish to pursue a career in medicine. I still have two more years left of high school. What are my choices to attend a UK Medical school? I heard there were 4, 5, and 6 year programs. I was thinking of attending a university in London (richmond) and try to get a BA in Psychology. With this degree, could I get the requirements to take the 4 year course for medicine? Cheers and thanks in advance. I'd just like to point out that I live in the USA am I have signed up for multiple honors classes.

It's great that you're thinking about your options now. Here are a list of all the medical schools in the UK. Click the desired program and you'll get the links for the fees, requirements, etc.: http://search.ucas.com/cgi-bin/hsrun/search/search/StateId/D82iEo_5WWylC0z5bGhZ-hfcV5MwC-VQJm/HAHTpage/search.HsSearch.submitForm?txtSubject=medicine&cmbQual=&cmbAttend=&cmbInst= Yes there are 4 year programs (for mature students who already got a undergrad), 5 year programs (direct-entry med) and 6 year programs (Oxbridge, Pre-med, and Foundation courses). Foundation courses are for students who took no more than one of biology, chem and physics. Yes you can practically do any degree and go into med school somehow. However you'll have to do well on your UKCAT and/or BMAT. Yes, so you could go to Richmond. However, it is not really recognized...for a competitive program like medicine, they might look at the school reputation for border line cases. Try going to a top college like UCL if you really do decide to get a BA in psychology first.

Studying Abroad in the UK - High School

Studying Abroad in the UK - High School?
I am interested in studying abroad for either the full year or just a semester in the 2010 - 2011 school year in the UK. I have been looking at this website [ http://www.study-abroad-uk.com/ ] and it looks like it would be a good fit for me but I'm not sure how reliable it is and I couldn't seem to find the actual cost of the program. I have a few questions to please answer one or all. Have you studied abroad in the UK and if so, with what program? Is the website about reliable? What program would you recommend? Also, any tips for applying would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long winded question!

I studied abroad in college in London. I would recommend waiting till college- in which case you can go through your school. I had the time of my life and am dying to go back, but since schooling in London is very different (I'm not sure what grade you are in now ) It may be a difficult transition. They have A levels and College (college is not the same as university like it is in America) It may be difficult for you to find where you belong. There are some interning summer programs abroad which would give you experience and are legitimate.

Is it Possible for Foreigners to Get a UK Drivers License

Is it Possible for Foreigners to Get a UK Drivers License?
I'm planning on staying in England for awhile but I won't be going under any scheme. I plan to rent my own flat for long-term stay, so I'll have a UK address. But I won't be working or going to school in the UK. I'll just have plenty of money so I'll be able to afford to be there for a long time. So, it's more like an extended vacation, for a year or longer. However, I'd like to get a driver's license there eventually, if it's possible. Is it possible to get a UK driver's license even if I'm not a UK resident or citizen, or are there specific requirements? Oops, I forgot to mention I'm actually U.S. citizen. Sorry, that'll take the guess work out of it.

Pretty soon an "EU licence" will be introduced. This is useful as it stops people who are banned from driving in one EU country from getting re-licenced in another. However, I think you can apply and take a test like everyone else if you arer a citizen or long term resident.
