<p>The adcoms would be familiar with different syllabuses and year-end examinations (including A-Levels). So, it’s a safe bet to say they are aware of how the London syllabuses focus on the final A-Level grades. If you looked up application procedure(s) at UK universities, you would find that their offers are mostly (if not wholly) based on the final A-Level results alone, and are independent of academic performance at high school.</p>
<p>As you may have guessed, I did the A-Levels - seeing as my country does not offer other programs at high school. Obviously, my school transcripts would not represent my best efforts; although I was ranked first in school (not officially reported) and had the highest A-Level average in the country.</p>
<p>I can let you know how my app turns out come March. Here’s hoping us A-Level students get a shot. Also, consider emailing the admissions office, explaining your situation. They would be best equipped to provide you with a straight answer. Good luck.</p>
