My Chances at Oxbridge as an American

<p>Okay, in the USA, if you have an “Associate’s Degree” you can be allowed to skip the first two years of college. But I have never heard of Oxford allowing such a thing. I don’t think they will be impressed with an Associate’s Degree. I can’t find any mention of “Associate’s Degree” on their website. Remember that in the U.S., an Associate’s degree is usually assumed to be for someone who was not “smart” enough to start out in a four-year program, and so had to spend time “catching up”. (I realize that that is NOT the case with the OP, he enrolled in an Associate’s program because of his youth).</p>

<p>I agree that an IB is NOT required for an American applying to Oxford (and I think it would not be required for any UK college/uni)</p>

<p>But I have discovered what grades you will need to get on your SAT subject tests. You are going to need scores of at least 700 in each of at least three SAT subject tests (if it was AP tests, you would need scores of at least “5” in at least three AP tests). Any test where you score less than 700 (or “5” for AP tests) simply doesn’t count for Oxford.</p>
