I am an American student deciding whether to apply for Materials or Engineering Science at Oxford, and my AP Tests are the following:
AP Computer Science A (4)
AP Computer Science Principles (5)
AP Calculus BC (5)
AP Physics 1 (algebra-based physics; does not cover mechanics, electricity or magnetism) (5)
AP Chemistry (5)
AP Statistics (not sure if I'll be taking, but I'm yet to decide)
I emailed Oxford Engineering, and they said that they were unable to comment on my AP exams (Materials department replied and said that my AP tests were good). I'm turning to this forum as my last straw, as the application deadline is in less than 2 weeks. Any comments are welcome. Thanks.
Also, do I need to take a calculus-based physics course for Oxford ES or is algebra-based OK?
BTW, I think that my "British A-Levels" would translate to A*A*A (A*s in Physics, Chemistry and Maths)

As a side, because there is no conversion mechanism, it is pointless emailing universities to ask if your grades are good enough. Some places see AP tests as easier than A level, others see them as equal, some place more emphasis on them than others so its hard to gauge what they are worth.
