Yes. We take great care when determining which courses are added and removed from our course offerings, and we consider how those interested in the UK universities will be affected. For students inclined towards UK schools, we’ve done our homework. College admissions officers for the UK have made it clear to us that most UK universities want between three and five AP scores—not AP credits—but scores.
To further ensure that our UK applicants are competitive, we have reviewed transcripts of SAS students who, over the last three years, were admitted to two of the most selective UK colleges, Oxford and Cambridge. We aligned these students' AP course selections with our current and future AP offerings and available AP examinations. We found that students would still have access to an equivalent number of relevant AP examinations. This calculation was also done with the AP cap of seven year-long-equivalent credits in mind (cap to begin with the Class of 2021) with the same positive result. In summary, UK-bound students will continue to have ample opportunities to take AP exams that meet their admission needs.
