Cambridge Admissions with US qualifications

For context, I am an international student, planning to apply to top UK unis for law.

I am neither American or British but plan to take the SAT and AP because I'm also planning on applying to US unis.

I left education previously and do not have level 3 qualifications. Would the SAT and APs (assuming I hit the requirements), on top of subject specific entrance test (the LNAT) be enough for me to be considered by top UK unis?

Has anyone been accepted into the top UK unis with just APs and the SAT?

Not American, but there are quite a few around Cambridge, and they mostly did the whole American high-school system. A friend of mine basically just did AP classes (and did the ACT as well as the SAT), and they based her offer on her AP grades.

It's not a 1:1 equivalence (it might be 5 APs = 3 A levels, but I honestly don't know what exactly), and I think there's a bit of the more the better - at least one person I know got an unconditional offer based on having enough relevant AP subjects already, but I think it depends.

Some international students did international A levels or the IB, but I think most just followed their countries' education systems.
