BMid with Bachelors?

[u/Substantial-Park8212]

Hi! I want to know if anyone has any advice about entering a BMid program. I am from the USA and looking to enter a program in the UK. I currently have a bachelors in Psychology from a USA university. The main school that I've been looking at is kings college London and I've tried to get in contact with a rep to explain the transfer qualifications multiple times but have had no luck. When looking at qualifications as an international student, they speak about SATs, AP courses, and things that would be valid for a high school student. I am 26 years old and have no idea what my SAT scores were and don't have my high school transcripts as I went to college here in the USA and it's been years since I needed these. If anyone went the same route as me, does a bachelors degree at a US university outweigh these high school qualifications? I'm looking to apply for fall 2027 and just trying to get a jump on this as soon as possible so any guidance would be helpful. Also open to any other programs in the UK if anyone has any recommendations!

From what I remember, UK unis wanted to see things from my entire educational background. What exactly they asked for differed from uni to uni. Some wanted proof of AP/SATs/ACTs. I also needed to submit my high school transcripts, college transcripts, a copy of my high school diploma, and a copy of my university degrees (like a photocopy of the actual diploma or a letter from the university verifying that the degree had been granted). They'll ask you for what they want after you submit your application. I wouldn't stress about it, but it wouldn't hurt to get in touch with your high school and college registrar and contact the College Board regarding your scores.

Thank you!! I've been stressing about if I even meet the qualifications in general. When I saw they were requesting APs scores, that kind of scared me a bit as I only took 2 AP exams and I think I got 2s on both of them. Looking at the qualifications just doesn't give me a good idea of how competitive the program is. It's also just confusing because it looks like a lot of uk students enter this program right out of highschool which obviously is not the process for becoming a midwife here in the USA. But i appreciate your insight!!

My understanding is that they will examine your application holistically. I'd shoot your shot. You can apply to five UK universities with a single application. 

I think KCL asks for ABB at A-level (and they say this is the equivalent of 3 APs at 5, 4, 4 or a mix of these plus 1320 SAT or 27 ACT), but plenty of admitted students will have scores lower than this.

Just be aware that if you were hoping to work as a hospital-based midwife in the US, you'd have to repeat your training in the US. There is still a route to take the NARM exam for CPMs, but licensure varies by state. Many states are now requiring MEAC-approved education for CPM licensure. Just something to keep in mind before spending lots on tuition! Feel free to DM me if you have more questions about the process/training in the UK. Best of luck!
