Applying to Oxford as an American student

Agree with other commenters. Don’t bother with Oxford. These AP scores are disqualifying. It is very unfortunate that you seemingly took them in sophomore year because you have to send all scores. You might get away with one 3 in sophomore year but not three of them (my S18 got a PPE interview with a 3 in Euro but the remaining five were all 5s, and had four more predicted 5s for senior year, he didn’t get an offer). I suppose you could try retaking, but it sounds like you have plenty on your plate for this year already. And as others have said, it is hard to persuade UK universities to offer a place for law unless you have the right to work in the UK or in a Commonwealth country that follows UK law.
