Is Cambridge University  easy to get into for U.S. students?

The only constraint (apart from the usual, implied academic hurdles - which are the same as any UK student) is the number of overseas students that individual colleges can take.  To the best of my knowledge, there is a maximum number of overseas students per subject that can be taken, and you'll need to be in that top % to stand a chance.\n\nThis page may help, too:\nhttp://www.cam.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/info/faq.html#international\n\nAnd do bear in mind the overseas tuition fees are much higher than they are for UK nationals.

First you need to learn how to spell and proof your work.\n\nThen, if you are looking for any university that will let you in if your grades are average and your SAT/ACT is not as good as it should be.\n\nTry http://www.studentsreview.com/ for information\n\nI also know that McMurry University is pretty easy to get into.

Junior Colleges are the easiest.  Then probably the private schools (Chapman, USC).....they just cost an arm and a leg.  Then State Colleges....much cheaper but not as easy to get into.  Then there's the UC system and Stanford.....impossible to get into.

University of Nebraska in Lincoln actually has a decent program, and it's fairly easy to get in. However, if you are applying NOW you are a little late. Most schools have made their admissions decisions (and do so on a rolling basis, starting in November each year).

By entering the UCAS system, fill in the forms and submit your application. Bear in mind that you cannot apply to Oxford and Cambridge at the same time.\n\nwww.ox.ac.uk\n\nLook for the subject you wish to study, and you can also choose colleges of your choice, usually by looking at college size, location and facilities.\n\nAll students from UK are interviewed, overseas candidates might be interviewed by visiting staff or phone interviewed, depending on location and schedule. \n\nHope it helps!

According to US News & World Reports it is a lowly ranked college located in the middle of nowhere in NH that is not very selective.\n\nAccording to Princeton Review, the average student has an ACT of 18 (this is like an SAT of 870) and  a C+ average.

unfortunately, not these days.  colleges and universities aren't only looking for a decent GPA, they also want a "well-rounded" student, meaning they want you to participate in clubs, activities, sports, and local community activities/programs (volunteer stuff.) for the ivy league big-boys, you still can't be a total failure, unless they're giving you a sport scholarship, and then you can pretty much teswt lower than wood and still get accepted.  if you're anywhere before your senior year (11th grade or lower) jump into activitites, keep up with your studies, and make sure you have enough tuition money before applying!!!

Just take a look at Wharton's acceptance rates.  I believe it is in the 10 to 15% range.  Although low, it is still higher than schools like Harvard and Princeton.  Instead of asking if it's hard to get into, ask yourself if it's the place you want to be.  However, if you do come to Penn, you won't regret it.

Take the most difficult classes your school offers.  It is a big deal for students to use the resources that are available to them.  (If your school only has one AP class, for example, they don't fault you for that, but they want you to take it.)  \nIt is better to be very involved in a few extracurricular activities that you are passionate about than ten clubs that you are only sort of involved in and pay dues for.  \nThey want you to take initiative.  Start something new or add a new dimension to an existing cause or club.  Take a class at a local college through joint enrollment.  Take the SAT several times to achieve a good score if you have a low one.  Take an SAT prep class if you are not confident.\nThe bottom line is to differentiate yourself from other applicants.  They get thousands of applications from people with good grades and scores who joined the honor society and the community service club at school.  Go above and beyond.  Community service is more important than having a part time job by the way.\nThe hardest thing about Harvard is getting in.  Good luck!  .\n\nThis stuff applies to getting in to any school really.  Apply to more than one place!  College is what you make of it.  You can have a great experience at a lot of different places.

Cambridge accepts a lot of foreign students every year.  It is not like a university in the US, it is lots of colleges and they all accept different numbers of students are some accept more foreign students than others.  Why not go onto one of the JCR message boards?  (JCR means Junior Common Room and is for undergraduates)  Most of them have a place for questions from People who are interested in going to Cambridge.  The only two I know are downingjcr.co.uk  and jcr.sid.ucam.org  The first is for Downing College the second for Sidney Sussex College.  Downing is big and Sidney small.

UIC does focus on class rank and ACT/SAT scores.  The average ACT is a 23-24, and the average class rank is about the top quarter.  LAS is the easiest college for undergrads to be accepted, and Engineering is the hardest.  They do rate class rank more highly than ACT/SAT.\nUIC is considered to be a more selective school.

Do you mean Lincoln or Kearney or Omaha? Lincoln is the best-known, and more competitive, campus. People who go there do love it. It's got a big frat scene, if you're into that. Students tend to want to party, but also take their studies quite seriously. Most students come from Nebraska and the states around it, and are fairly conservative in their beliefs. \n\nDoes this sound like a good fit for you? If so, then U Nebraska Lincoln. \n\nIf your grades aren't quite to their standards, you can apply to Kearney instead. Omaha's pretty much a commuter school, so unless you currently live in Omaha and plan to commute, it's probably not a good fit. Kearney has more of a collegy feel to it than Omaha.

My classmates (internationals) average a lot higher (like 40 - 50 points) than my US classmates. So it really depends on your nationality to get in. \n\nI went to a top 10 school and my international classmates range from 720 - 800.
