<p>How many AP's are needed to be get selected in University of Cambridge? Are 3 Sufficient?
I am self studying for Computer Science A , Calculus BC and Physics C : Mechanics . I want to take CS as my major.
Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>I think for uk, IB is better than AP</p>
<p>I am an international student. My school does not offer AP/IB classes but still.How many AP’s are needed to be get selected in University of Cambridge? Are 3 Sufficient?</p>
<p>No, Cambridge normally requires at least five 5s in AP tests.</p>
<p>I come from a middle class family and I can’t afford 5 Ap’s and Cambridge is my dream . What should I do now?</p>
<p>Give it up, but more because you couldn’t be bothered to do even one google search to find out how to pursue your “dream”. FYI, Cambridge requires a minimum of 5scores of 5 on relevant APs, as MEisHM said. If you can’t afford the APs you can’t afford the flight over. Cambridge does have some scholarship money, but it won’t be a free ride. College Board also offers reduced fees if you qualify. I am unaware of any public schools that don’t offer APs (or won’t sign you up even if they don’t offer the specific one you want to take), which makes me wonder if you are in a private school.</p>
<p>I think OP means by “I am an international student”, they are in a third country, neither the US nor the UK. Could you clarify, OP? </p>
<p>But yes, you will need to meet the minimum requirements to have any hope of admission; and if cost is a factor, have you the wherewithal to cover international fees, living expenses, and travel? You’d need to prove that before you get a visa, too.</p>
<p>According to your profile, you’re not even 16 yet, so you have plenty of time. One of your other posts says you’re from India. Cambridge doesn’t expect US qualifications from Indian students. Their website says:</p>
<p>“Applicants from India must normally either be potential affiliated students (i.e. applying to study for a second Bachelors degree) or studying for the International Baccalaureate or A Levels. Applications from students taking CBSE or ISC Class XII examinations will be considered but only for the following courses: Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Natural Sciences. To be shortlisted for interview such applicants will need to have achieved a minimum CGPA of 9.8 and grade A1 in their Class X examinations in the relevant subjects. Any offers of admission made to such students will be conditional on performance in the IIT-JEE.”</p>

<p>So if your school doesn’t offer IB, can you do A levels (Maths, Further Maths and probably Physics would be best, but look at the website for each college’s preferred combination)? But money is still likely to be a sticking point, even if you get the grades and do well in the interview. Also note that last year fewer than 30 Indian undergrads started at Cambridge, across all subjects and colleges. </p>
<p>Aspiration is admirable, but some dreams must be tempered by reality, I’m afraid.</p>
<p>Thanks, conformist- missed the international part. The rest, as you point out, stands.</p>
<p>I should add too that there is at least one scholarship available for Indian students at Cambridge, but obviously that would be even more competitive than admission in the first place.</p>
<p>Yes , I had a CGPA of 9.8 in my 10th grade.But still taking AP’s , will I be in advantage later?</p>
<p>You need to meet and usually exceed minimum entry criteria (especially as an international student). Your CGPA must include essential subjects like maths, further maths, and preferably another science (esp. physics). </p>
<p>Unfortunately, unlike some U.S. colleges, admission to the University of Cambridge is dependent on your ability to pay the full tuition fees - almost £21,000 per year + college fees. Without the ability to pay for five APs, you not try to pursue admission to Cambridge.</p>
