[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do US Students get into Oxbridge science programs? The website says they expect 5 AP scores, focuses on or near the major, including Calculus BC and Physics C (both parts) scores. It's rare to take all of these and extremely rare to take them all in junior year, and also take more related APs like Bio and Chem and CS. Do US high school students take a gap year and apply to Oxbridge after senior year? [/quote] It [b]isn't rare to do any of that. Many US kids graduating with 10+ Ap courses all the time.[/quote][/b] Also, to answer the PP’s question, the anpplicant to Oxford will usually receive a “conditional offer”, as my DS did, conditional on meeting terms like 5s in 5 APs. That gives the student time to meet the conditions but at the risk they might not make it - do always have a backup plan in place.[/quote]
