My GCSE and A Level results. What options does it open for me and where does is nationally rank me?
Pretty much any door to a top university would be open to you with those results. You got good GCSE results but employers and universities concentrate more on A level results. 4 A's at a level can get you into oxbridge etc, but the subjects you chose lead onto sciency careers and a business career. If you are thinking about what career to pick you should go on university websites and find out what courses you would like to do and what a level grades/ucas points/subjects you'd need at a level to take them. I guess the doors it closed would be for university degrees in completely different subjects, ie maths! Your gcse's were above average nationally and your a level results would be ranked pretty much at the top of the A level results (though can you get A*'s now in some of the harder subjects like physics?). But anyway they're good results!
How do I get accepted into Cambridge University?
Forget UCAS. Forget sending test scores. Forget recommendation letters.Those are just formalities and paperwork.What do you really need?Self-discipline.The difference between a Cambridge reject and a Cambridge admittance is hard-core self-discipline.Oxbridge doesn’t care abut your extracurricular activities. They want to be sure that you would succeed in Cambridge. The only indicator of that is how well you have done before applying to Cambridge.Did you take on a research project in high-school? “Good. Come to the interview at Cambridge and show us how much you know.”Did you win in Olympiads? “Good. Come to the interview at Cambridge and show us how much you know.”If you are very good at the subject you are applying, you would get admitted.That’s as simple as it can get.Simple, yet most people are not willing to work that hard.
Does my GCSE O level results matter?
Hello, Due to some family issues i had to drop my studies for 3 years. But then i did GCSE O level with 5 subjects Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English Language in just 6 months. I got B,B,B,C,B grades respectively, it was the best i could do in just 6 months. Now i am doing A levels with Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English Language and expecting very good results as now i have enough time to study. But the problem is i was going throught some Univeristy websites. I came across the University of Manchester. Following are there GCSE requirements for medicine. '''''''''' GCSE: At least six subjects are required at grade C or above; at least four passes must be at grade A or A* that need not be in the sciences. Subjects currently not accepted for grade A requirements are: Applied GCSEs eg Applied ICT, Applied Business, short courses or BTEC qualifications. Chemistry, Physics and Biology at grade C or above are required if not taken to AS/A2 level (Dual Award Science or Core and Additional Science are acceptable if at least BB achieved). English Language and Mathematics are always required at GCSE minimum grade B, but see above for English Language requirements. All applicants are expected to adhere to these GCSE requirements. If applicants are uncertain about the validity of the subjects they intend to offer, they must contact the Admissions Office prior to application. ''''''''''''''''''''' There is no way i could achieve what they want and there is no way now that i can do it. Does that mean i can be a Doctor :( Please explain what should i do and please if you know other good universities who don't care about your O level please mention there names. And does Cambridge And Oxford university give importance to your O level.
Will oxford or cambridge university accept me??
To be completely honest, your chances aren't that good. I went to Oxford and found that most people there had a mixture of A*s and As in their GCSEs. Very few had any Bs at all and Cs were virtually unheard of. Having said that, the tutors at Oxford do look beyond exam results. As they interview almost everyone who applies you could still try, attend the interview and they might see potential in you. You would undoubtedly need straight A*s at A Level though (no A's, you'll need the highest grades to make up for your GSCEs) and I really wouldn't focus on getting too many extra-curricular activities on your cv. Oxford and Cambridge are highly academic institutions and they look down on too many extra-curriculars as detracting from your academic studies.
Can you get into top universities like Oxford with average GCSE results but great A Levels?
Quite possibly, although perhaps the biggest hurdle in getting in to such universities is getting an interview in the first place.GCSEs were for a while (comparatively) very easy, they are now approaching the O Level standard again, in particular focussing more on exam skills than “modules”. You really do need to show that you have those exam skills to get into such a place, and any blip in the past needs to have some sort of explanation - anything other than “didn’t study at all”.If you haven’t taken A Levels yet, I would recommend applying during your final year - the worst that can happen is your #1 choice ignores you - via UCAS as usual, along with the usual range of a strong #2, a decent #3, and backups in #4 and #5. You don’t have to accept any of the offers to attend these if your A Level results are great, just make a plan B to take a gap year and reapply.Also, remember that top universities are that primarily for their research. While Oxford tutorials are probably almost as good as Cambridge supervisions, as an undergraduate in any subject you will eventually be exposed to the least competent lecturers - because being incompetent at lecturing is not an excuse to get out of doing so, for the dons. Other universities, including those outside of the Russell group, may well have better support for undergraduates in many ways. To rephrase: at Oxford nobody will hold you by the hand.
What does it feel like to not get into your first choice university?
When I was in high school, my first choice universities were NUS / NTU in Singapore. I applied with my National Exam scores, which to be fair, is not really good; there's 70s in my transcript. As I also supply my CIE AS Level scores, which for me is quite decent, I am so naive that I'm quite confident to be shortlisted for the entrance examination for these universities. To help me passing the entrance examination for NUS/NTU, I also attend a course that allows us to learn how to pass the entrance examination for these universities.I am immediately rejected from both without getting to join the entrance examination.It felt like I'm really stupid compared to my peers who studied with me to prepare themselves for the entrance examination. I distanced myself from my classmates in my course, although my course teacher consoled me, and the whole distancing thing only lasted for a day, thankfully I also suffered a depression, although it doesn't last really long. Then, my course teacher suggested me to appeal to NUS / NTU with my complete A level results. With these A level results, again, high school me was quite confident that my appeal would be accepted.Of course it was not.I feel depressed again, covering my head with my hands when I come for that preparation course, as I don't feel worthy showing my face to both my teachers and my peers. Eventually I moved on, though and decided to go to my current university in Indonesia, which, one reason I applied there is because it offers internship to Europe.Turns out in my current university I meet many good friends there who often eat and study together with me. Also, the lecturers there are great; they encourage us to keep asking questions if we don't understand. The small class size also helps in strengthening the bond with my classmates.
Is nine gcse subjects enough to get into university?
Universities base entry upon your A levels which you get from sixth form or college. If you wish to go to university you are expected to go to college or sixth form and obtain 3 A levels - for pharmacy you will probably need to take chemistry at A level. To get into sixth form you will probably need a B in English language and then an A in any subjects you want to take. Double science will allow you to do chemistry physics or biology at A level. Achieving 3 good A level results (B or above) will allow you to get into a good university. So in answer to your question 9 gcse's will be enough for you to get into sixth form or college then get into university. In fact 9 is the normal number of gcse's for someone to have. So yes it's enough as long as you get good grades :)
Can I still get into Cambridge University?
I was always told ‘yes’, although I never put it to the test… the primary thing Cambridge select on is AS level results, with the interview as the main discriminator between people with similar results and predicted grades.If your AS results are excellent — and (at least for a science course) I do mean 90%+, and 95%+ for the subject you actually want to study — then I see no reason why they wouldn’t give you an interview and indeed an offer if you impress them.There will also be a question of background - if you went to an excellent school where most people get very good GCSEs it will look bad, whereas if your results are fair by your school’s standard it will matter less (indeed, your personal statement could leverage it as a virtue if you go from disappointing GCSEs to excellent AS levels).Okay, that’s the good news. Now for the tough truth — the best predictor of how a student will do at any educational stage is how well they did at the previous stage. It is exceptionally difficult to excel at AS after a poor performance at GCSE, because the GCSE knowledge is taken for granted. It is a big step up in difficulty. If you want to make it happen, you need to get into top gear right now. Revise the GCSE material for your AS level subjects, and hit the ground running: blitz the first term like your life depends on it. Many of the candidates who eventually make it absolutely will be putting in 40–50 hour weeks (or even more, but my personal hunch is that people who do that get diminishing returns and/or burn out quickly).
