    Volunteer opportunities in Karachi for Winter 2015?

    Is there a good place to volunteer/do good co-curricular activities in Karachi during the winter? It would really be appreciated if someone could recommend some good extracurricular activities in the city as I'm hard-pressed to find some right now. Any suggestions?

    Is getting only 7 A *'s a problem in O Level

    Thanks, AreebaKausar. What you gave to not just me, but to everyone here is surely invaluable. I'm just worried about my cousin. I don't know many people who got into Princeton with just 7A *s in O Level - and even with 4A*s in AS Level/A Level, he's still worried. His grades seem fine, but...

    Is getting only 7 A *'s a problem in O Level

    Here's the problem: my cousin has 7 A *s in O Level and is predicted to get 4 A *s in A Level. I wanted to try to obtain some insight into this, which is why I came here. He only took 7 subjects and got A*s in all of them. Someone told him that having 7 A*s in O Level isn't enough for the Ivy...

    About American universities and AS/A Level results

    I know certain American universities require SAT I and II, but some also let you submit your AS results for admission to their universities. I was just wondering if one could send their latest AS level exam results to them?

    About American universities and AS/A Level results

    When you apply to American universities, can you just give them your latest AS Level result? I'm asking this because most American universities (Harvard, Yale, UCLA) don't have a specific policy when it comes to AS/A Level grades. They just say you can submit your AS-Level grades, but I was...

    Urdu GCE O Level and AS Level necessary for acceptance into American universities?

    Most great American universities say its nice if someone did a foreign language course before applying. Does that mean that it's necessary for someone - if they are living in Pakistan - to do Urdu As a Second Language at the GCE O Level and AS Level or can one not take these subjects and still...

    Age cut-off for A-Level schools in Pakistan

    I've read that Aitchison College and Karachi Grammar School have age cut-offs for applying to their school - in other words, if you are over 16, you cannot apply to their A-Level program. I was wondering if other A Level schools - especially in Karachi - had the same age cut-off, that is to...

    Should one take AP exams to get accepted into American universities?

    Pakistani students get accepted to some of the best universities in the U.S. I was wondering if there are people in Pakistan taking AP exams to increase their chances of getting a spot at a place like Harvard? Or is the GCE A Level exam sufficient for a Pakistani student hoping to go to the...

    Do retaking the GCE exams hurts your chances at getting to a good university?

    I know this might be a silly question, but if you retake the GCE exams privately, does it hurt your chances at getting into a good university? I was told once that you could selectively choose which scores to send universities so they would never know you retook the exam more than once. Is this...
