I’m a student in Singapore and i repeated my 11th grade but with decent A level results and a strong SAT score, will it still be possible to get into UCB!!
or will they not consider me at all!
It somewhat depends on why you had to repeat 11th grade. If you failed, and had to retake all the courses, and if that appears on your transcripts, yes, it may decrease your chances. However, if your overall GPA is strong, and you have strong SATs, write about 11th grade in your essay (explain what happened, how you learned from it) and --important!-- if you’re a full pay international student ($60,000+ per year) then you may overcome that 11th grade redo.
yeah i failed my 11th grade because of some personal issues and in Singapore, you have to retake the whole year, you aren’t allowed to retake only certain courses! But thank you for your reply, I will work on my personal statement and explain about the 11th grade in my essay! thank you!
