    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...

    What is required when submitting a Harvard Application?

    Aside from the application itself, what else is required when submitting your application? Do you have to submit your extracurriculars along with your application or can that be submitted later? Do you have to submit your predicted A-Level score alongside your application or can you do that...

    Exam conflicts

    Here's a hypothetical situation: what if one were to take one's A-level exam through his school and, at the same time, register for a private exam to re-take one's O level exams. I guess what I'm trying to get at is how do you reconcile taking papers from two different centres? If I'm...

    Is it okay if I take my AS Level exam with my A2 exam?

    My cousin's teacher at his school recommended that he take the AS exam along with the A2 exam instead of taking the AS in Oct/Nov. Will this be a hindrance or can he still get to an American college by this route? I understand that he won't be able to give his AS result, but the teacher told...

    Do American and Canadian universities care how many times you've taken your AS or A2 exams?

    I know that in the UK, all of your retakes of exams will be disclosed to their universities. In other words, universities like Cambridge and Oxford will know how many times you've resat for an AS or A2 exam and your previous grades. I was told by my teacher that American and Canadian...

    I know I must have asked this question before, but has anyone left the city school (PAF chapter or Gulshan A Levels) and been to ivy league universities like Princeton or Harvard or British universities like Cambridge or Oxford? Do you know anyone who has done this?
