  Hi guys,

   

  I've some questions that I need advice on, I'm wondering if there are any above than average business school in the UK that I'm able to enroll in? I've got to admit that my GPA isnt good as its a measly 3.25 thus I'm unable to get into local Unis.

   

  I've considered going over to the US or Aussie to get my business degree but from what I know you need to take SAT test to be able to apply to the Unis in US as for Aussie personally I find that the value of their degree is lower as compared to Unis from UK, US. No offense.

   

  Pls advice.

  Thanks.

  yea, but i believe they wouldnt tell you like which uni is the best and which uni to avoid, from what i know they're like the "middleman" to handle your application?(correct me if i'm wrong)

  Yes, was actually planning to signup for a preparatory course and than proceed on to take the SAT test, however I'm enlisting to NS soon thus I dont think there would be time for me to study for my SAT test during these 2 years thus there goes that option.

  SAT math don't need to study. you just need to study for the writing and reading sections. It's a little tougher than GP standard if you ask me, but just buy one of those SAT prep books to study. should be ok. can take multiple times anyway

  Said and LBS are great business schools - but I doubt your chances if as you mention that you would be able to get acceptance to the local unis. Maybe instead of going to UK, you can do one of those UoL external degrees at UniSim?

  Go overseas to study for the living experience

  But it will be very costly.
