    SAT scores and APs
    Hi guys, would anyone know if SAT IIs are neccesary for the more competitive economics unis (LSE, UCL, Cambridge) given a 2370 SAT I and 7 AP 5s and 2 AP 4s?

    I could do them no doubt if they were needed as I'm taking AP Physics C and Calc BC, but I've heard theyre not really valued much in comparision to APs.

    Check the university websites and then if you still can't find the information then send them an email explaining your personal situation, as what they will require will be determined by your personal education background rather than a general requirement. UK universities look for AP grades first and foremost when considering US students for admission.
