AP scores for Americans, LSE & more

I've taken 5 AP tests at a level 5
1 AP (US History) at the end of eighth grade (May 2021)
1 AP (US Government) at the end of ninth grade (May 2022)
1 AP (European History) at the end of tenth grade (May 2023)
and 2 APs (World History & Human Geography) at the end of 11th grade (May 2024) (and Art History at 3, English Language and Comp at 4)
and i'm taking 5 APs (micro and macroeconomics, statistics, environmental science, and english literature) this academic year, but next year (May 2025)
UCL states unambiguously that all APs should be taken in the last three years of secondary school (which makes any offer for me conditional), but LSE gives a vague "taken over 3 years" definition for it, and i'm extremely confused. Technically I've met the requirement in terms of real years as May 2021 to May 2024 is three years, but it's over four academic years. King's states no time limit, as do the Scottish unis (Edin and St Andrews). I'm really confused over this, please help me out.

Hey I'm a U.S. applicant too. Since you're taking 5 APs this year I wouldn't worry about it and just see what offer they give you, unless getting a conditional vs unconditional offer might deter you from applying to a particular school.
What program are you applying to?

You're taking 5APs at the age of 18/19 next year and should be accepted by all universities in the world!!! 😀

this is ridiculous 😭😭😭 qualifications aren’t the single deciding factor in admissions

Your UCAS Personal Statement/Essays matter too as well as interviews and admissions tests.

yeah foi requests show that students with over 10 aps are regularly rejected from these unis
