Conditional offer from University of York - American Student
Hi!
I’m an American student, and I just received my offer for studying International Relations at University of York which was one of my top major choices and school. However, it’s a conditional offer that depends on my spring quarter grades in Running Start and AP test scores. The huge problem with this is that AP test scores are released in July, but in the US college decision day is May 1st. This means I have to commit to a university by that date and decline the other offers I’ve received. I had thought that sending in my Running Start grades would be sufficient to make the offer unconditional, but it specifies in the offer that I must also send in AP scores.
Although I really would love to study at York, I’m not sure if it’s worth risking my other college offers just to not get high enough AP scores to attend UoY.
Any advice is appreciated!

Hey - I'm not sure how it works in the US, but in the UK we accept a place at both our first and second choice uni, and decline the others, before we find out our grades. In the US do you accept one single offer and no others?
Also, we have a process here called 'clearing' - where you can get into unis that you didn't apply to after getting your results (because they are trying to fill empty spaces on the course) - do you have anything similar in the US?
If so, and you're also decently confident in your AP scores, my personal opinion would be to go for it! It's what I'd probably do in your position
. If York is your first choice I'd say it's worth taking a slight risk. Also, many people in the UK take a break between college and uni and apply the year after exams - if you missed out on your York spot you could always consider this option.(Of course, I don't know all the details of your situation and it definitely sounds like something you'd want to discuss at length with parents/ teachers before coming to a decision)
