hello,
i am a student of bss karachi in o levels 11th year
i am giving 6 subjects this year as i have already given the pak studies and islamiat papers
in the may/june session.i am not giving bio so i have dropped it from my total subjects.
i just want to ask you all that can i hope to still get in a decent A level school in karachi,
namely nixor??i am just average in my studies.

can anyone plz just give some advice??

to get into a good school 6A is a must at least. 8A is better. 8A* feels almost confirmed
a lot depends on your interview (if that school takes it)
pray and keep your fingers crossed!

any other questions?

hey are academic achievements all they look at or
will they also consider community service and SAT
scores.i am worrying that my school grades are mediocre
so i will not get admission so i would like to ask you that
do they emphasise on good school grades??

 

[anwar2400]

you are taking admission for alevels right? (they dont see SAT for that. SAT is for American Universities in general. Well define mediocre?)
yes good olevel grades are a must (the CIE ones, not the internal school exams)

mediocre like 60s% and early 70s.i thought that SAT scores can be
used as leverage for a level admission.

 

[anwar2400]

tell me your expected grades? what did you get in your previous school exams? 6a's? 4a's?

i got scores in 60s in my previous school grades with the exception of computer and english in which i got 80s +.
i got an A in Pakstudies and B in islamiat.i will give the remaining papers in the may-june session of 2013
