I think some universities accept one number of GCSE/A levels and another accepts a different amount/configuration as a minimum. If you want to attend UMPI, your best bet is probably going to be to contact the school itself. Do not fill out the form on the site - that form leads to sales and they cannot help you. I would try the YourPace address listed on this page first; if they're not able to answer, email the main admissions address. https://www.umpi.edu/admissions/how-to-a...ernational
For what it's worth, here's what Google says. "5 GCSE passes at grade C or higher are considered the rough equivalent of a US High School Diploma (without Honors or 'Advanced Placement' (AP) classes). This will be sufficient for a student to gain entry to less selective US colleges and universities."
There's also chart for what constitutes a Canadian High school diploma - how many years etc. Someone who leaves UK school at 16 usually has the equivalent of Canadian Grade 10 or 11. Can't really see any difference from US. Standard number of years for graduation gives a usual graduation age of ~18, in UK Canada and US, unless grades are skipped.
