Student outcomes

Data on the students we work with, and where they decide to apply.

Updated May 2026

AP offers two ways of working with students: online tutoring and markups. We work with around 60 students per year across both programs. The breakdown across all students on record is shown below.

The following draws on outcome data collected from AP students across multiple application cycles. Students are asked to submit their results after decisions are released; the data is self-reported and incomplete for a share of the student body. What follows reflects the outcomes on record, not a total picture.

Student geography

Students come from over 25 countries. The majority apply to schools in the US or UK, often to both simultaneously. A smaller group apply primarily to continental European institutions. A small number also included Canadian institutions in their applications, often alongside US schools.

Beyond the UK and US, students have applied to schools in the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Hong Kong, Australia, and Canada.

Undergraduate and postgraduate

Among students for whom program level was recorded, undergraduate applicants outnumber postgraduate applicants by approximately two to one. Postgraduate applicants are predominantly US-based students applying to US institutions.

Recorded acceptances

The table below lists all schools where acceptances have been recorded, in order of how frequently they appear across submitted outcomes.

We don’t track or publish per-school acceptance rate data across the board, but the Bartlett gives a useful reference point. The Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL is widely regarded as one of the leading architecture schools in the world, and attracts applicants from across the globe. Of the AP students who applied there, around 57% received an offer. The Bartlett’s acceptance rate is approximately 5%. Cornell AAP is also a useful reference point. Many of our students apply, and 29% have received an offer. Cornell AAP’s acceptance rate is approximately 8%. (For undergraduate and postgraduate applicants combined, who submitted outcome information).

Merit-based financial aid

The charts below cover BArch and MArch 1 programs only. These are merit awards reported to AP, shown as the average annual value per student who received a quantified award. Not all admitted AP students receive merit aid.

Schools where only non-quantified awards were reported (AA, HKU, Auburn, UTS, UC Berkeley Mastercard Foundation, UBC, University of Toronto) are not shown. Several AP students have also received substantial awards for other programs not shown here — including full scholarships and partial-tuition awards at MLA (Master of Landscape Architecture) programs at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Toronto, and a $72,000 merit award at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, which offers a BFA rather than a BArch. One BArch applicant received a nationally recognised distinction in the visual arts. These are excluded as they fall outside the scope of these charts, not because they are less significant.

A note on interpretation

The outcomes listed here are a partial record. Many students do not submit outcome information, and those currently mid-cycle have not yet done so. The data cannot account for decisions students make after receiving offers: school preferences, financial circumstances, and personal factors all influence where someone ultimately enrols.

What the record does show is a consistent pattern of acceptances at selective programs in both the UK and the US across multiple consecutive cohorts, alongside a number of students receiving substantial merit-based awards. These outcomes reflect the combined effort of students and their tutors. The work students put into their applications remains the central factor in each case.
