I fucked up real bad. I was planning on doing A levels but then I moved and had to move back now the deadline is gone. Now am in a situation where I have to do a gap year.
Hi, I know this doesn’t fully apply to your title or basis of your video however I do not have many GCSES (I only have a PE one) because I was unable to complete the rest due to COVID. I am about to be sitting my a-levels and hoping I get grades I need for my uni, however I still don’t have GCSEs for English or Maths. Will this be a problem when it comes to getting into University and looking at jobs in the future? Thank you!
Hi ! Thank you for the info. I am an international student without a levels (it’s hard because I live in Spain and cannot complete the education) I however do have a lot of work experience in business and want to study business and management, though would it be possible with GCSE equivalents and the work experience ? Thanks
Hi, and thanks for the question. I am sorry to say I have no idea how the requirements differ for international students. However, I would certainly look into it. I only had GCSEs when I applied and most of the decision was based on my experience. I would think (and hope) that it would be the same for international students but I honestly can't say for sure. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck!
@Revoque Chegmester am also in East Africa.. Kenya .......and am I want to study in the UK so how'd you do it and what Universities don't need A levels
Hello there! Thank you so much for this video! Im currently in year 10 doing IGCSE’s in Kenya and my plan after is to major in English at a korean university. I really dont want to do a A levels and would like to start university immediately after I get my IGCSE diploma. I’ve read that 8 igcse subjects with the grades A*-C is equivalent to a full high school diploma, and that’s what the university that Im planning on applying for, wants. I also have experience with proofreading and helping people with their essays. I also speak some korean and Im studying korean during my free’s. I moved to Kenya from Sweden this summer to do my highschool studies in English, which shows how passionate I am about the English language. Im applying through the Korean government scholarship program (KGSP) , which means I have to write personal statements and purpose to why I should be chosen for the scholarship. Im thinking about very detailed, explain about my experiences. Do you have any tips about what I should write in my personal statement and purpose? On the website of the scholarship program, they mention that the most important for undergraduates is the proof of primary and secondary education (in total should be 12 years, and if less than 12 should have proof of secondary education completion, which is year 11 here). I really want the most unique personal statement and purpose so the fact that I haven’t done A levels, will be overlooked. I will be graduating in june 2021, go back to Sweden since my nationality is Swedish and the application starts in November 2021, to start in March 2022 for the spring semester (which is the school year start in Korea, but usually is in the fall internationally). This means I have about two years to prepare for it. During those two years, I will be studying korean (as many other KGSP students have mentioned that speaking some korean during the interview, is a huuuuuge bonus) aswell as do my best to recieve only A*’s and A’s (and a B for math because I totally suck at it, but will try my best), expand my experience regarding the English language (& literature) and rather now figure out how to write the personal statement & purpose uniquely. I hope you can give me some advice, I hope you continue to have a wonderful day and thank you in advance! /Aleeki
@@Auntyyfloraa god💀 I’m doing none of those things mentioned. I actually ended up fleeing Kenya bc my mom found out I left religion. She basically wanted to kill me. So I moved back to Sweden all alone at 16 and dropped out of hs, lived with fosterfamilies and group homes up until the age of 17. Then I got my own place, started working and moved to the us when I had just turned 18 to study programming at a community college. Wasn’t my thing, so I dropped out of college too.💀 Now I’m almost 19, work as a manager at a restaurant making more than most people my age and relaxing. Going back to school next year to finish up the last high school studies. Ah and also, became an alcoholic due to all the trauma my family put me through but at least I’m dependent
I'm in the exact same situation as you. In kenya, in year 10 , planning to go to uni in korea after year 11 IGCSE's. But, I'm wondering if its ACTUALLY possible to go to uni without A levels. I want to be a dermatologist. Let me know what uni in korea you had planned to go to.
@@iamprincessnubia I posted an update about my situation under my comment. Regardless, you can’t apply to any uni in South Korea without A levels unfortunately.
Holy shit, this needs way more views. Really valuable, would you be okay with me sending you my application message and getting your opinion on it once I’ve done it? Maybe I can email it to you.
Thanks for the kind, kind words Sir. I am genuinely not sure if me tweaking your application would break any 'ethical rules' so I think it is best that I don't. But more than happy to do a more detailed video sometime soon discussing the kinds of things to include and what to leave out. Good luck with your application regardless!
