Universities in USA for an international student? International Baccalaureate?
-
I'm in my fifth year of school (I'm 16) in the UK. In my sixth and seventh years I'm going to be studying the I.B. (International Baccalaureate) with English, Economics and Psychology at a Higher Level and Biology, French and Maths at a Lower Level. I wanted to know how well the IB is recognised in the US and how easily it will be able to gain a place at university as an international student with IB results that should at least achieve 5 in every subject. Also, can anyone recommened some good universities for me to look at over the Internet as I'm at a loss as to where to start. At the moment I'm interested in studying psychology, law, journalism or teaching at uni. Preferably I would like to go somewhere with a hot climate. If you can help, please do & thank you! :)

Answer:
The IB is well recognised by US universities. You would also need to take the SATs. http://sat.collegeboard.org/home Law is not taught in the US at undergraduate level. You need a Bachelor's degree to go to law school. You can search for universities and the degrees they offer by visiting: http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/index.jsp Be prepared to pay around US $30,000-$50,000 per year for four years as an international student.

You should have no problem with US universities recognizing IB courses. It is widely relevant across the country. If your looking for colleges in a hot climate, I recommend going to uni in California, Florida, or Texas. You should also consider the cost of living in the states too, as uni is crazy expensive here for international students.
