LSE now accepting the ACT and SAT

Hi everyone, I'm a US student looking at LSE and noticed something on their entry requirements page for American students that I don't remember seeing in the past.
On the program pages, the AP equivalency table lists TWO pathways for A*AA/AAA courses:
Pathway 1: "Five APs at grade 5, taken over a maximum of three years and a minimum High School Diploma GPA 3.7 (subjects may be specified as part of an offer, see the note below about subject combinations)."
Pathway 2: "Or a minimum High School Diploma GPA of 3.7, and an ACT score of 32+ or an SAT score of 1450+ (with AP Calculus BC at grade 5 for programm with a Mathematics requirement)."
The word "OR" clearly separates these as two distinct routes. Does anyone know if the GPA + ACT/SAT pathway is new? Every guide and forum post I can find online still only mentions needing five APs at grade 5 with no mention of an ACT/SAT alternative.
Has anyone used or heard of anyone using this second pathway?
Thanks!
