[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, there are several schools in the top 10-15 UK rankings that your kid can apply to without APs outside of St Andrews. It also depends on the program at these schools.

Like it was already said earlier, for Oxford/LSE/Cambrigde you have no choice. You need as many 5’s as you can get. Plus some of them have additional tests/interviews.

If your kid doesnt want to self study for APs, then kiss goodbye to some of these schools.

My 3 kids studied in the UK. Oldest at Oxford, second one at Bristol and one at St Andrews.

Second kid went to a different school with no APs (not an IB school either). But they offered a ton of Dual Credit courses with a local university. He had 36 dual credits at A. He applied without APs thought UCAS and got into Exeter, Bristol, Edinburgh and St Andrews.

1st and 3rd one went to the same AP school. 1st one had 7 APs at 5. 3rd kid had 4 APs at 5 and 3 at 4.

They all scored between 1480 and 1570 in the SAT.

OP here. Was this a DC private that offers dual credit courses with a university? I understand about not needing to do APs for the majority of universities, but the difficulty I’m finding is that most state the equivalent of a 5 in an AP course is a grades of A or A+ in an honours class and those grades are really tough to get in her school.
