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.

uk med school entry

uk med school entry?
If i chose the A level options of Chemistry, Biology and History and applied to a UK med school, would these options be acceptable. I am told that i am easily capable of achieving straight A's in these subjects at A level. I'm also on track to get straight A stars at GCSE and have two GCSE's at A star already. I just don't want to loose my oppurtunity of being a doctor by picking bad options. could someone please advise me?

I have no clue what to do with my life after school..advice.

I have no clue what to do with my life after school..advice?
I'm sixteen and in my second last year of school(UK) and have drifted through several career ideas,nothing really sticking,as I lost interest or came across hurdles that I really couldn't get past,not for lack of trying! Now I've reached a point where my friends are all settling on their career ideas and I'm left floating around.They are all really smart and aspire to be doctors,lawyers,dentists etc..I have an interest in counsel ling,especially with young people and children but university courses are too expensive and grades are out of my reach.One other friend is deciding to go to college instead and do a basic secretary course and work in an department store.I could do that but it seems...rubbish and boring.I guess I am fantasizing about being something I can never be.Sorry for rambling I'm just pressured and confused.I'm not clever enough to keep up with my smart friends so therefore feel useless. HELP xxx

You could try looking at apprenticeships you learn while you work. This would good on your CV and you might even get a job out of it. Most people are steering away towards university now because there is too many graduates in the UK. I'm a graduate and I haven't been able to find a graduate job, I'm working as a receptionist at the moment. So a degree isn't everything.
2 :
Find a passion and follow it. I think that is what you're missing in your life. Passion can take you around the world and live a more fulfilling life than most doctors, lawyers, etc. Don't worry, we're all lost in this world. We're all just trying to find our way.

Pity your friends who decide too quickly, before they have really lived as an adult, what they are going to do with the next 5-10 years. Many of them will become disillusioned and desperate for a change in just a few years. Get out there and see the world... mix with different people, learn how to be yourself and be accepted, find whatever is is that you have a passion for... and if you want to be one of the happiest and most successful people in the world... find a way to get people to pay you for doing it!
