If you're a US citizen wanting to go to the UK for medical school you are wasting your time. It's not impossible to get accepted by a UK medical school, just very unlikely. Not only do you have that issue, but then you have to figure out how you'd pay for it. No federal student loans for overseas education.

Majority of freshmen are at least 18. Some are 17. Since you'll be an international student, look up what US college/university you're considering (I hope you have a few in mind), and check out their international student admissions page for the requirements.

The way american movies show schools is hardly what they are like..most of them are your basic hellhole that you will be trapped in for the next four years..same issues like anywhere else in the world..bullies.preps,geeks and outcasts all consist inside amercan schools..really depends what city you will be moving to.

Answer 2
Well, there's 5 years of Elementary School, 3 years of Middle School, and 3 years of High School. You should be in your first year of High School. And there are a few groups of people... school in the USA is almost exactly like in movies. There are the jocks, sluts, preps, emos, nerds, and the lowest group of people that the popular kids don't even notice. You'll fit in if you just be your self ^^ Have fun in the USA :D Btw what school are you going to? and in what state?

Answer 3
hi! =) well every school is different and if you are 15 you are probably going to be in 10th or 11th grade, most likely 10th. unlike what the other person said there is 6 years of Elementary school: kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade and 5 grade 3 years of middle school: 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade 4 years of high school: 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade and 12 grade. after that you can go to college if you want, but you have to pay for that yourself. my advice is you go to college, because you need to go there to get a good job. well if im going to be honest, i really like high school! there are cliches. different kids that fit into groups like nerds, emos, popular kids. its not quite like the movies though. you should act outgoing! one of the worst things you can do is just blend in with the wall. get noticed! join some clubs that you find interesting. there are TONS of them. and be friendly. people would probably be really interested in you and want to talk to you because you are from UK, so you have more of an advantage than someone from the US moving to a new school over here. last year a guy moved here from england and lots of people talked to him and hes pretty popular. im not sure what accent you have but im sure people will go crazy over it like they did with his! :D don't let anyone scare you into thinking school here is bad. its pretty nice. so what state are you moving to? :D

Is it legal to change school hours drastically in the UK to only one school?

Is it legal to change school hours drastically in the UK to only one school?
I was just wondering because they've made it into 8 1/2 hours when other schools are like, six. And its the headmaster changing it not the school council or whatever its called, so i was just wondering is that allowed?

Completely illegal. You should complain and bring the situation to your local council. This is totally illegal what he is doing. All schools must have the same time in school. Unless you get more holidays?

Check with the uni you want to study at what qualifications and grades they would require in order to accept you. There isn't any one single test like SATs which UK universities require before accepting people, they'll just need you to have the relevant Canadian equivalent to whatever qualifications they would want from UK students - so, in the case of applying to do a Master's degree, they'd expect you to have a Bachelor's degree, and they might specify a certain minimum grade (but this could vary depending on how popular the course you want to do is and how competitive entry is). Hope this helps - good luck with your application!

There is no test required to get into school in the UK.Sat and ACT are not applicable there but they might consider your current GPA.
