@collegemom3717 can you please advise me? I am struggling to clearly understand the LSE offer. It states “ Grade 5, 5 in US AP Plus provide certified documentation of your previous qualifications.”
I am a Canadian student who already has 5s in three APs courses and will be taking 3 more next month. My counsellor thinks they are referring to the ones I have taken and providing high school diploma as AP is not a requirement for Canadians. But I think they are asking me to obtain 5s in 2 more APs. They didn’t specify which subject so should I assume any out of the two?
Thank you for your help

you’re right and your counsellor is wrong. they want 5 x 5 APs In all, so want you to provide your official certification for the three you already have, and two more in due course, and obviously you already have any required subjects for your course.

^^what @Conformist1688 said. LSE's standard offer for students applying with APs is 5 5's. Good news- they aren't specifying which 2 of the 3 you are taking. Less wonderful news: you should deposit someplace else (guessing SFS) just in case.
I like my guidance counselor but I think she gets confused with the LSE and doesn't get it. Now she thinks I need 5s in all three AP courses i.e., AP EuoHistory, AP Macro and AP Micro. The offer says “Grade 5, 5 in US AP Plus provide certified documentation of your previous qualifications.” But she thinks LSE considers AP Macro and Micro as 1 AP. However, you had mentioned last year that there were no distinctions. While I hope to get 5s in all three APs I am taking, I am focusing more on Euro and Macro. Can you please advise?

I interpreted it as two fives in US AP courses (not AP USH) as per post #93. And if they don't specify which courses then any 2 of the 3 you are taking is fine. In other words five 5s total.

Update on AP scores: I got a 5 in AP Euro and another 5 in AP Macro thus meeting the conditions for LSE. Collegeboard sent my report on June 24th to LSE but I am yet to receive an unconditional offer. Quite nervous and anxious!

Congrats, @bestuni2019! no need to worry- most of the staff is probably is on holiday. From their point of view, this is the quiet before the storm: A-level results come out 15 August :-)

I do plan to place a deposit at SFS and I also have Kings College as unconditional insurance.
