[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never said no transcript. Of course you need transcripts….but yes, no standardized tests or APs. They all ask for APs. My kid went to a no AP high school in the west coast. Not IB and no APs. They only have Dual Credit and Honors courses.

If kid goes to a HS that offers AP classes you have no choice on the AP requirements.

It took us a long time and money spent with a counselor to find out what schools in the UK would accept a non AP/IB curriculum. There are dozens. We all know about St Andrews already. There are a couple in the Russell Group too. Great ones actually…Good luck![/quote]

I also heard directly from a St. Andrews rep that they understand that students from well-regarded independent schools do not take AP exams.  Rep said that St. Andrews will fully consider their applications anyway.  Seems the US St. Andrews reps are willing/ able to judge school quality.  I got the impression that no APs, if your kid goes to a school that offers APs, is a problem.[/quote]

That is correct. That avenue only exists for kids whose schools are not IBs and do not offer APs.[/quote]
