I would like to go to an Arts University in England how do I apply?
I am currently attending a regular high school and an arts high school part time. My grades at my normal high school are not very good but my arts high school grades are.

How do the SAT/ACT scores transfer to England’s scoring system.. Or how does my GPA transfer?

What are some art universities that may be choices that are realistic for me?

The answer in the following:

Start by looking at Central Saint Martins, in London. That’ll at least give you an idea for what you’ll need to do in order to apply to arts programs in the UK.

In order to get into unis in the UK, you need to hold the equivalent to at least two “A levels”. These don’t exist in the US. Instead, in the US, you’d take AP exams. Do you have any AP exams, or will you take any?

If not, then rather than applying directly to the degree program, you’ll need to apply to something called a “foundation year”. If you do well in the foundation year, you’ll be able to get into the degree program. Here is an example of a foundation year program:

It’s really common for foreign students to take foundation years, because many people from countries outside the UK don’t have A levels or their equivalent. So if this is true for you, don’t be intimidated – just apply to the foundation year.
