How many A Levels do you need to do to get into a competitive university?

<p>Has anyone gotten into a competitive american uni with 3 A Levels?
Or do you need 4? It's just I know they prefer it if you do as many AP's as possible, so would it make more sense to do more A2s? </p>

<p>This coming from a British student. I know A Levels are worth double credits but how many do they expect you to do? Most British students only do 3.</p>

<p>You may want to ask this in the International Student Forum. The posters there should have useful information for you.</p>

<p>You also should pay a visit to the counselors at the EducationUSA advising center in the UK [EducationUSA</a> - Center Profile - US-UK Fulbright Commission - Fulbright Advisory Service](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/Fulbright-UK]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/Fulbright-UK) They would be the experts on this issue.</p>

<p>All the more reason then to check out the threads in the International Students Forum, and to contact the closest EducationUSA office. You need advice that deals with your specific situation.</p>
