Hi all,
im a MALE british gymnast looking for an american scholarship to study after my A levels im doing well at school at the moment, staight As in my subjects wich i think its something like 3.3 GPA i dont know
im currently 17 years old but being a british gymnasti have no clue about these levels
ive looked into some level 10 floor exercises etc and i think im level 10
but im not 100% sure ( also i specialise in floor and vault) also tumbling
currently im competing double backs,double pikes , double twists and working on double arabians
vault is a piked tsukahara . currently working on tsuk straight.

thing is people say to contact your 'college your hoping to go for'and the coaches
get your coache to send stuff to the coaches at the uni.
being in england this is very difficult for me to do :(
i have so much to find out research etc before i can dream of sending stuff to american universities ..
i mean i havent even done a sat test because our schooling system is very different!
if you could help me in any way i would be so grateful !
thanks in advance all :)
1- what are my chances of gaining a scholarship as a specialist
2 - do they tend to overlook international gymnasts ?
3 - what universities should i look into ?
4 - in MAG is there any cross training for tumbling as well ?
cheers ! :)
