Hello, I’m planning on applying to the University of Edinburgh but I’m concerned about my chances of getting in.
First of all, I want to study either Celtic and German or German and Russian. My overall goal is to become fluent in as many languages as possible. The admissions department told me that I should have AP tests/SAT Subject Tests in Celtic, German, and/or Russian. However, my school does not offer classes in those subjects let alone tests. Also, I don’t believe there is a Celtic subject test or AP test. I do have high enough AP and Subject tests in English Language and Composition and French Language and Composition. Would those work since they’re also languages?
My final question is their other requirement, a successfully completed year at University. I am a dual enrollment student. Basically this means that I am enrolled as a student at a University in my state and am taking classes that count towards both high school and University credits. When I emailed asking if this would count as a successfully completed year at University, their response was: “We would not able to consider your University level study taken alongside your final year of high school as meeting the requirement for a successful completion of one year of University in the USA –this requirement seeks to ensure that an applicant has achieved one year’s worth of university level credit within this time period, which is not normally the case where study has been taken alongside high school qualifications.”
However, I will have achieved one year’s worth of university level credit since I am enrolled officially as a student.
So, do you think I qualify and if so how should I go about explaining this?
Thank you
