Son is planning a UCAS application for the fall. Will have four AP scores to submit (Edinburgh, his top choice, requires a minimum of two). He will also be taking some AP courses in his senior year. Question is: should he just list the four AP scores he will have, or should he reference the senior year APs as well? If that latter, will that trigger conditional offers because the results are outstanding?
Mention everything. If his scores and subjects meet the course requirements he will likely get an unconditional, if they don’t then his acceptance will likely be conditional on what he achieves in his senior year.
elguapo is correct. You must list all AP classes you have taken and are taking your senior year- even if you have a score you don’t like.
You have list all your courses for every year. You can’t leave them off.
Thanks, all. Very helpful.
I’ve also seen on this site that some kids submit their UCAS application in Sept/Oct and then get a response in Nov/Dec. Is this right? Do the UK schools do a sort of rolling admissions for American students?
My kid applied mid-October and heard from 1 in November, 2 in December, 1 in January and one is still pending.
Oxford and Cambridge have a hard deadline (Oct 15) and set notification dates. Everybody else operates on their own schedule, which is often different even by subject within the same university. Many unis do respond on a rolling basis, especially if the applicant has more than met the requirements- but as @VickiSoCal noted, you can’t assume it!
My D applied Nov 7th, heard back from 4 of the 5 by the end of November but still waiting on the 5th.
