<p>I am 16 year old IGCSE student(will be 17 ,October 2011),I will writing my IGCSE exams in 2012 June. I wanted to ask if I will be able to apply for Business administration or similar without doing my A levels in a good US university. I am also sure I will be getting A’s or A*’s for more of the exams for my IGCSE exams.I will be giving my SAT in October and am confident of a score in the 1500-2400 range. I am also sure I will have a GPA of more than 3.5(4 scale) for my IGCSE exams.</p>

<p>I have work experience of working 2.5 weeks as a trainee in the finance department of a company.</p>

<p>I have been the vice-president of a company our school made for a competition called INJAZ.We came second.</p>

<p>I have been heavily involved in sports and have won Man of the tournament award for cricket, and have lead a football team to the finals of a local tournament.</p>

<p>I have also won the National Art Olympiad in the country of Kuwait, I was gifted a laptop. I have won several art competitions too.</p>

<p>Can you please tell me, if its fine to apply if you IGCSE certificate and not A levels?
Also how important are SAT scores for an international student?</p>

<p>Thanks ,</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>sorry about that but I highly doubt you could get into a good US uni with just your IGCSE’s. not even community college.</p>

<p>sorry, but that is the cold hard truth…</p>

<p>You need to ask. Some will admit you with O levels. Others require A levels. If you ask this question in the International Student forum, your might get some specific advice. You also could run a search for ICGSE and see what comes up.</p>
