<p>I'm a US citizen studying in Pakistan.</p>
<p>I'm in my final year of A Levels right now (senior year) and completed my GCE O Levels a year back. Got the following result: A's in English, Mathematics, Accounting, Economics, Commerce and Islamiat, a B in Urdu and a D in Pakistan Studies. How will this effect my application? Even if I have good SAT scores (currently have an 1860, retaking in oct and trying to cross 2100), recommendations and a good A1 (first year of A Levels) result and a good essay, will my chances of getting accepted at good colleges such as Cornell, Vassar and some other "not so good but still pretty good unis" be ruined because of this D? And is there any way that I can show universities that I didn't take this subject up and only had 6 A's and 1 B at O' Levels?</p>
