Hi im an international studying British patterned system and I have seen many people who have applied and been accepted at top notch universities in US, have given more AS level exams(6 to 7) and then drop down to 3 or 4 when they give their A2’s why is that so? Does US unis give more importance on AS level exams and only look at the subjects of concentration(which the student will pursue in Uni) in A2? Please shed some light on it.
Thanks.
