[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t most European countries have a highly centralized, national high school curriculum so the differences in grading and courses is largely eliminated? It seems a necessary predicate to that kind of admissions system [/quote]US has APs.[/quote]

Not nearly the same thing. [/quote]

Many UK universities treat AP Subject exam results the same as UK A-levels. So those colleges, at least, would say they are close enough. [/quote]

For limited use for the small percentage of US students applying internationally. As a metric for all students in the US applying to college? Not every school offers APs or the same APs - this is the kind of thing that parents of kids who go to private or rich public schools like because their kid benefits at the expense of others. [/quote]

AP results are used by UK universities because that is all they have, and they want American students. They know that GPA would be meaningless [/quote]

UK Universities look at GPA from 9th-12th in detail. I don't know why you think they do not. My kids applied from the US to the Uk and attend now, so we've just been through it.[/quote]
