England School

My daughter has little hope gaining admission to a local Church of England school because they class "Methodists" as being from a different faith and therefore highly unlikely to gain entry to a Christian school? Is this legal?

Yup because they still dont get why the reformation began to begin with.
In other words, they're sure they are not wrong.

By having a high school diploma, what does that equal out to in England's school system?
Holy s**t! Thanks.

Is that good or bad in regards to working over there?
I mean with the high school diploma that is?

In theory it is GCSE levels and A-Levels in theory are suppose to equivalent to AP course in that subject or two years of university. From what I have seen personally seen of the English schools system which includes the lack of knowledge English students have when it comes to math and grammar my personal opinion is a High School Diploma is equivalent an A-Levels in English, Math, Literature, Science, and Social Science. Furthermore it is my personal belief AP courses with an AP test score of a 4 or 5 is equivalent to its university equivalent in England.

After graduating High School i plan to move in with my best friend and her family in England. I'm planning on going to college there, instead of going to college in America. How would i apply and is there anyway i can get student loans or financial aid? Also, how would i apply to college there?

You would apply to a university in the same way as anyone in the UK does. All applications for higher education courses at undergraduate level in the UK go through UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. You make one online application through them and can specify up to five choices of university and course, which saves you sending off several different applications. http://www.ucas.ac.uk/ http://www.ucas.ac.uk/students/choosingc ourses/choosinguni/map/ shows all the universities and colleges within the system. UCAS then coordinates the rest of the process.

Oxford and Cambridge are the exceptions - you can only apply to one of them, they both require a separate application form to be sent to the university as well as going through the UCAS process, and the UCAS deadline is 15 October - earlier than all the rest.

An offer of a place is only official when it comes from UCAS, whatever a university tells you. The usual situation for British students is that they have to apply before they have sat their A level exams, so if they get an offer it will be a conditional offer on achieving certain grades at A level. You may accept one of these as a firm acceptance, and are allowed to accept another as insurance. If you have been declined by all five, or you have declined them all, there is another chance in the spring called Extra in which you can make further choices, one only at a time. Then the results come out in August and there is a mad scramble - if you meet the conditions for the firm acceptance, you're in and all set for the start of term in October. If you fail that but meet the conditions for your insurance acceptance, you're in there. If you don't meet those conditions either, then there is Clearing during which you can submit further applications one at a time in a scramble for the places that may be left. Of course at the top universities there won't be any left.

This has been in place a long time - after concerns that it was getting unmanageable that prospective students had to send separate applications to each university they wanted to try for, the universities banded together via UCCA, the Universities Central Council on Admissions, which was founded in 1961. I'm English and applied to university this way in 1982 to start in 1983 - of course it was a paper form then! But I liked that I could put all my effort into making one really good application. In 1993 other colleges that offer degrees joined in to form UCAS.

If you have any concerns about whether your qualifications are acceptable, ask the university or college you are interested in directly.

For any course at a lower level, you apply directly to the college and its web site will no doubt explain how.

There is no way of getting student loans or financial aid from the UK as far as I know, and as a student who has lived in the UK for less than three years before the start of the course you would have to pay the full (much higher) overseas rate of fees. (The British government throws in a big subsidy for British and other EU students - until a few years ago we didn't pay fees at all.) The other side of the coin is that a British bachelor's degree course is only 3 years as it is more intensive than the US kind.

Once you have a firm place, you will need to apply for a Tier 4 (Student) visa. This can take several months so realistically if you're thinking of applying now for 2011, you may have to apply now for deferred entry in 2012 as you will need to submit evidence that you have been accepted with the visa application. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/ infs/inf29pbsstudent is the official information sheet on UK student visas, and the application has to be submitted online as described at http://ukinusa.fco.gov.uk/en/visiting-uk /visas/ .
