what is my high school diploma worth in the UK


what is my high school diploma worth in the UK?
I am moving to the UK and plan on entering a college. I was a B-C student will that be equivalent to GSCE's or will I have to take those before I can do my A levels?

Entry requirements for the Kings College London (University Degree) are as follows for students from the USA: You will be considered for entry to our undergraduate programmes if you have taken full-year USA Advanced Placement Tests. Grades required vary from programme to programme, from a score of 4 to 5, with possible subject preferences. As an alternative to this, we also accept the SAT (minimum 1800) or ACT (27-36) with SAT Subjects (SAT-S, minimum 600) for undergraduate programmes within the School of Social Science and Public Policy and the School of Arts and Humanities. For exact grade requirements for your desired degree programme, please go to the programme of interest in the undergraduate prospectus and visit the academic entry requirements section. You will also be considered for entry for undergraduate programmes if you have taken A-levels or the International Baccalaureate. I'm sure this means more to you than it does to me! I'm pretty sure with your high school diploma you would have no problem getting into a 6th form college to do your A Levels if you need them. However, if you meet the above requirements you can go straight into university! Remeber some universities can have stricter entry requirements so you should look around! :) Good Luck and Welcome to the UK!(Once you arrive)
