Right now, I am trying to plan for the worst case scenario for my grades .
I am currently interested into studying in medical college to pursue my dreams in working in genetic engineering but my university( in egypt) is requiring 8A* in OL AND 1A* in AL for admission and any single subject below A* will not be accepted. I was wondering what actions I could take if I ended up with 5A* and 3A in OL and an A* In AL? ( I am talking about a public university here and there is no medical college in private universities in my country)

Any help is very appreciated :D

well bro, in egypt, education is one of the filthiest thing you will ever see. lol, i can get a C in all OL subjects and still be accepted in medicine in cambridge( but in return you need 3 a-levels or 2-alevels and 1 As and get an A* in all of them although it is still easier because not everyone can score good grades in igcse from the first time)

by the way, what did you mean when you said "the university has got to be empty" ? are you saying that it's very tough to enter this university? :p

WELL , ITS NOT LIKE U SAID IT ACTUALLY KAREEM
THEY ASK FOR 8 OL
BUT NOT 8 A*
U ACTUALLY TRY UR BEST TO GET AN A* CUZ THEY ONLY TAKE 20% OF IGCSE STUDENTS
THERE IS ALWAYS A RE-SIT OPTION
BTW THERE R MEDICAL IN PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES LIKE PHAROS UNIVERSITY IN ALEX IF U EVER HEARD OF IT
BUT ITS ALWAYS A BETTER CHOICE TO GO WITH THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES

LOL DID I FORGET TO TELL THAT IN RETURN U GRADUATE AS ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS ?
HERE IN KSA , MOST OF THE DOCTORS ARE EGYPTIANS FOR A REASON BTW :p
But did they take igcse? I don't think most of them did besides, the local country exams are much easier than igcse exams.
