I am a current freshmen in California earning high Bs and low As. At the end of Sophomore year, (1 1/2 years away) I am moving to a British Boarding school. Because of this, I will not be able to do my GCSEs, and only be able to do A levels. I have researched quite a bit on this subject yet I do not know if British Colleges will need to look at my freshmen and sophomore grades I did in America (or SATs), since I did not do my GSCEs. Am I off the hook for my grades in freshmen and sophomore or will they check them?
They’ll look at your AS and A level results and predicted results. You’ll likely have 4 AS levels in subjects you have strong As in, keeping in mind 3 of these must match subjects related to what you want to study in college (if you hope to study in the UK).
