<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am from the US and very interested in applying to Oxford, LSE, and University of Edinburgh. Since I know that these schools only look at test scores, I will only list those:</p>
<p>SAT 1: 2100 (700 Each)
SAT 2's: 770 Bio, 720 Math 2
AP's: I will have a 4 in AP Spanish, a 5 in AP Biology, and a 5 in AP Statistics. I hope to get a conditional offer, as I will be taking 4 more AP tests at the end of next year. </p>
<p>If you guys could chance me at Oxford, LSE, and Edinburgh that would be great! Also, if my scores aren't high enough, how high should they be to get in? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>bump! please help if you can!</p>
<p>LSE requires 5 APs at the highest grade, there is a youtube video about this.</p>
<p>Applied (& got) these 3 2 years ago, so know them reasonably well. </p>
<p>1) You don’t say what course- and that is critical.</p>
<p>2) Once you have chosen a course, you can look up the base requirements for it on the uni websites. </p>
<p>3) If you meet the requirements for Edinburgh (and have a good personal statement & recs, of course) you can be pretty sure of getting in- even getting an unconditional. For example, using the scores you provide, if you applied to do Biological Sciences at Edinburgh, you would need a 5 and 2 4s in two of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics (must include either Biology or Chemistry) plus another subject. You have the 5 in Bio and the 720 in Math would do, plus your 5 in Stats. So, assuming a good personal statement & recs, you would have a good shot at an unconditional. </p>
<p>4) For Oxford your 2100 is below what they say they want (2200)- people have gotten in with it, but it makes it harder. Using Biological Sciences again, where Edinburgh asks for ABB, Oxford asks for A*AA, so obviously a tougher standard. Also, for Oxford the interview is really important- if your scores, personal statement, recs, etc are good enough you get invited to interview, and they select from the interview. If you get a conditional offer be prepared: it is very hard to be sitting APs that determine whether you meet your offer- or lose your place at Oxford- whilst your US classmates have their feet up, secure in their college place!</p>
<p>5) LSE. Everybody that I know who got offers from both Oxford and LSE found that the conditions from LSE were higher (harder) than those from Oxford. More to the point, they don’t offer biological sciences, and I can’t think of a subject which the scores that you have would combine to get you through to an offer</p>
