College Admissions Chance Calculator
Estimate your chances at top US and UK universities. Pick your country and school, then your intended course, and the calculator adjusts for what that system actually weighs: entrance tests and academics in the UK, the whole file in the US. Baselines come from officially published admit rates, including separate international rates.
International pools are smaller and more competitive at most schools. The calculator uses each school's published international rate where available.
Out of 45, including TOK and EE bonus points.
Be honest with the depth rating. For UK universities this measures subject-related work: reading, olympiads, research, projects.

Estimates are built from officially published overall and international admit rates (for example MIT's Class of 2029 admitted 4.5% overall and roughly 2% of international applicants), adjusted for course competitiveness, academics, testing, and profile. The calculator cannot see your essays, references, or interviews, which decide most borderline files. Treat the numbers as a starting point for strategy, never as a verdict.
IB, A Level & GPA Grade Converter
See how your grades translate across the three main systems universities compare. Move any slider and the equivalents update. Conversions follow the equivalences UK universities publish in their offers and the ranges US admissions offices work with.
| IB Points | A Level Equivalent | Approx. US GPA | Where this typically lands |
|---|---|---|---|
| 44 to 45 | A*A*A* + | 4.0 | Competitive anywhere, including Oxbridge and HYPSM |
| 42 to 43 | A*A*A* | 4.0 | Standard Cambridge offer territory |
| 40 to 41 | A*A*A | 3.9+ | Oxford, Imperial, LSE typical offers |
| 38 to 39 | A*AA | 3.85 | Lower Oxbridge offers, strong for UCL |
| 36 to 37 | AAA | 3.75 | UCL, Edinburgh, King's, top US publics |
| 34 to 35 | AAB | 3.6 | Russell Group core offers |
| 32 to 33 | ABB | 3.5 | Solid Russell Group range |
| 30 to 31 | BBB | 3.3 | Wide UK options, many US state universities |
| 24 to 29 | BCC and below | <3.2 | Foundation routes and broader lists |
Universities set their own equivalences and some publish subject-specific ones, especially for HL requirements. Use this as orientation, then confirm against the entry requirements page of each course. Our IB versus A Levels guide explains how each system is read.
Degree Cost Estimator (in SGD)
What a full degree actually costs a family in Singapore, tuition plus living, converted to Singapore dollars. Adjust the aid slider to see how US financial aid changes the picture, because at the wealthiest US universities the sticker price is a starting point, not a bill.
A handful of US universities are need-blind for internationals and meet full demonstrated need. UK undergraduate aid is far scarcer; the Jardine Scholarship is the notable exception for Oxbridge.
Estimates use recent published fees and costs of attendance, converted at approximate exchange rates (GBP 1 ≈ S$1.72, USD 1 ≈ S$1.32), and assume standard course lengths. Read the full breakdown, including which universities are need-blind for internationals, in our US versus UK cost guide.
Application Deadline Tracker
Live countdowns to the deadlines that decide the 2027-entry cycle, with what you should be doing right now for each. Missing a registration window is the most common unforced error in this process.
Dates reflect the typical annual pattern; individual universities can vary and admissions test registrations close well before test dates. Confirm each date on the official UCAS, Common App, and university pages. Our month-by-month UCAS timeline maps the full cycle.
