Seconding @Conformist1688 on calculus: 90% of accepted PPEists have math to at least CalcAB and a strong majority of math to Calc BC. Strongly urge you to find a way to get that- should help with entry and will help with the course once you get there. At the least, get the SATII Math 2 (700+),

Fyi, Oxford Econ people are pretty sniffy about AP econ - not that it’s bad that you have it, more that you would think that they would see that as a plus and they don’t seem to.

Seminar won’t count at all and (for purposes of adding up) Micro, Macro, Stats, Human Geo, Comp Gov, US Gov and Psych are all B APs. All the others are As. Fwiw, CompGov is really useful for the first year politics module (save your notes!). Agree with @marvin100 that Euro is helpful, but you have World & US.

Depending on which ones you take this spring, you could have enough for an unconditional offer (esp if you can get a math in).

Don’t forget to practice for the TSA- and make sure that you have a place to take it lined up.
