this is so helpful ?I’m in year 10 and we are told to start thinking about universities and I really wanna go to UCLA. thanks for making this vid !
@r0b3rts_ ?? u need to think now then. Starting earlier is better. U still got time to go to a gud uni and gl with the a levels btw ?
LMAO im yr 13 and havent even thought about Uni yet wtf
Zoe Smith not necessarily. U can get perfect scores by searching on amazon for sat textbooks.
A Narang do you need tutoring for the SAT?
Zoe Smith you can do the SAT whenever u want from yr10-13 . The SAT runs 6 or 7 times a yr and so I’m planning to take my exam on August 28 2021, right after my GCSEs n b4 starting yr 12
I’d highly appreciate if you tell me what the fees are like for an international student.
@su Because I’m on a year long study abroad program that’s why my fees were subsidised. International undergrad programs are expensive!!
XIAO hi im from the uk too but how did the government subsidised your fees ;(( i really want to go to ucla but everybody says as a uk citizen it would benefit me more if im studying here for uni?
@Tijs Van Broekhoven depends on your university!
@XIAO hy i am from Belgium (other side of the world) can I go to UCLA?
XIAO oh thank you! that helps a lot as i was confused on how i can get assistance i will look into it thank you for your reply 🙂
Wow this video is so helpful!! Upload more ttubetube videos please ive already subscribed ?
This video was so helpful, thank you!! And even if you are 21 when you’re there, do they still check your room for “illegal items” (drinks)? ??
@XIAO you’re not?
Thank you! You are not allowed to have any alcohol/weed in dorms, but you’re also not allowed microwaves or kettles but people still have them haha, so it’s just about being a bit sneaky and hiding things in dorm inspections!
is ucla an english equivalent to uni ? i’d love to go there but have no clue on how to enroll as british student
@mag star oooh good luck with everything!
XIAO thankyou so much for youre response ! i’m hoping to do a theatre course so hopefully will find a uni in the uk with a ucla exchange , you’re advice was really helpful , stay safe x
I came from King’s College London, I believe most London unis will give you access to UCLA, but it also depends on which degree you’re taking. So I’d recommend you research into which uni’s degrees offers UCLA exchange! Good luck with it all!
Hi April, how much did you have to show for your financial evidence before going to America and how much would you say your year abroad actually cost (like the living expenses there)? Also, thanks for the video, it was really helpful!
You have to give proof of bank statement when you apply or any sponsor’s bank statements. LA is very expensive to live in, the dorms and dining halls are pretty pricy but there are different types of housing you can get that’s cheaper – coming from London I’d say its pretty similar living expenses except for the fact that there isn’t much available public transport so you have to uber everywhere. I’m sorry I don’t think I can give you an exact estimate.
Hi I’m a new subscriber love youuuuu u r my idol and goalssss ??
@XIAO omg yeah!!! I post so muchhhhh
omg aren’t u instagram influencer with all ur posts!!?? plz ily
Which British university did you attend and how was you application process?? How would you say it is with finances, my family isn’t like middle class or anything but we are okay I just wanna know if I would struggle financially.. thanks for the video ! ❤️
XIAO thank you so much for all this information,, really really helpful. I’m going to subscribe and screenshot for future yes. Thanks so much!!
Gracie I went to Kings College London and the application process tends to work that you first have to apply internally to your home uni, if you have good enough grades then you can go through with it, then you apply to your exchange unis, and UCLA was particularly difficult because you had to apply through the UC system first, get accepted to UC generally then chose specific campuses. And for finances if you are from the UK then the tuition fees for an exchange year is reduced to like £1500 or so, which student loans will easily cover, and it definitely depends where you want to go specifically because LA is very expensive, but you can try to get a job over here, though your visa does limit the number of hours you’re allowed to work. Hope this helps!
do i need to take sat’s to get in or can i use my gcse results?
doussou kouyate u don’t have to worry bout the SAT at ur stage, I’m planning to make my SAT exams in 1yr, which for me will be after my GCSEs. Ig at ur stage u need to just work on co curricular activities and nothing else. Find 3 gud extra curricular activities u know u can stick to until the end of yr13. For example, I’m gonna open a Coding and Programming Club in school, I do LAMDA public speaking and I’m moving onto grade 7 rn, and thirdly I been playing badminton for yrs n I’m planning to participate in tournaments. This is quite early to decide at ur age but tell me what ur planing to do at uni
doussou kouyate nice the earlier the better, I’m starting yr11 next week
@niceonelol i’m in year 8. yea i know thats a bit young but this is something i have always wanted to do
doussou kouyate if u don’t mind me asking, what yr are u in (which yr will u be starting this September). This will help me on giving u extra info to help u prepare.
doussou kouyate https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/register this website allows u to register for the sat. It runs 7 times per yr and so use the website, find a local test centre and book an exam date for when ur ready to take it 🙂
do you have to go to sixth form? i don’t know much about it but i want to go when i’m older aha
I had to go to 6th form to apply for uni yes
What grades did u need at gcse and a level to get into ucla
It’s more about what grades you get at Uni. I just needed 3 As to get into Kings, and then I got a first class at Kings to apply for a study abroad
Hey what dorm is this and how much was it?
It was Hedrick Summit and I lived in a single room which was a little more pricy
what course do you study?
Khalid Arak They have a post grad program. In America, you need to do an undergrad degree in something related to medicine so you can take medicine postgrad. For example, ik a guy who took a degree in biology in USA n then went on to medicine postgrad
Shona G it depends if your program has a year abroad option!
XIAO so if I did postgrad med at kings would I be able to go ucla ?
@Khalid Arak American doesn’t have a med undergrad program, only postgrad
@XIAO I am from the uk
