[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Why did was it so hard to figure that out? The websites of the universities specify which qualifications they expect from US applicants and most say that, if your school does not offer the IB or APs, then they accept dual credit or honors courses. The websites are all inconsistently structured so it takes time on each site to figure this out. But the information is there. Of course, there are still some universities that require APs or the IB. [/quote]

Because there are unis in the Russell group that claim that you need a combo of APs and ACT/SAT and maybe you can substitute an honors course here or there. BUT in the end, these same unis accepted my son without APs/ACT/SAT even if their website says you need them…[/quote]

If that’s the case, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t share the names of those universities. [/quote]

Because I am a HS counselor and quite frankly, now I know the way with these schools and I dont need to advertise to anybody else the gems we found. :-)[/quote]

Honestly, you sound kind of petty. It sounds like you think they’ll be a big bunch of students interested going to Cardiff or Sheffield or wherever. But are they gems? [/quote]
