British curriculum question

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi</p>

<p>I go to an international school which follows british education system.</p>

<p>Therefore, in our Junior and Senior year, we take A levels.</p>

<p>Most people take 4 AS Level and then drop one of them during Senior year.</p>

<p>Taking 4 subjects only, I actually do not meet requirements in most US colleges.</p>

<p>For example, they want me to take English for 4 years. That means I have to take English A level even though I'm intended to major in engineering.. </p>

<p>Unfortunately, my A level subjects are Maths and 3 sciences (ph,ch,bio)..</p>

<p>Am I in big trouble? Will colleges reject my application b/c I didn't fulfill their requirement?</p>

<p>I assume you took GCSE’s (or IGCSE’s or O’Levels)? You should have an English grade. If it’s A*-C, you’re fine. :)</p>

<p>Yes, I took English as a Second language and got an A. phew… That’s quite relieving… </p>

<p>But what about foreign language requirement? I didn’t take it in gcse as well…</p>

<p>Is it ok to prove to adcom that I’m fluent in other languages other than English by taking SAT II?</p>

<p>Yes, it is.
Be careful, not all languages are offered on each date, except Spanish, so pick the date based on the language you plan to take.</p>
