[quote=Anonymous]You have to inquire school-by-school. My DD did IB MYP, then International A Levels for last 2y. Grading standards, subject selection... everything is completely different from what American schools get from their US applicants. DD's HS contacted the handful of US schools that she was interested in to find out what they wanted in terms of A Level results, so we didn't bother with SATs or AP exams. In the end, she couldn't justify the expense differential at the undergraduate level, so we stuck with EU and UK options. Although the US unis were able to articulate target IAL scores, if your child is in this system, I'd still suggest that your kid plans on taking a US standardized exam, just to have actual results in hand. UK is used to conditional offers and has a system built for it. But it will be hard to apply to US schools with potentially zero actual grades before 15 Aug, 2 weeks before they're supposed to begin uni![/quote]
