<p>Hey guys.i just wants to find out if AICE exams ( the alevel exams ) accepted by some unis is limited to only the CIE board or does it include other boards like AQA, OCR etc. I asked this because I did My alevels with different exam boards and I wonder if colleges will accept them or just the CIE ones . I intend to transfer the credits and maybe bypass freshman year. Any advice on schools that accept alevels from any exam boards will be highly appreciated.Thanks

<p>Within the UK, they’re all regarded as being exactly equal, regardless of which exam board (CIE / AQA / Edexcel / OCR / WJEC) you did them with. </p>
<p>If you’re thinking about going to the US, then it’s impossible to give a blanket answer, but as an example Brown draws no distinction between exam boards. <a href=“International Exam Policies and Procedures | The College | Brown University”>https://www.brown.edu/academics/college/degree/policies/advanced-placement/international-exam</a></p>
<p>Pls are u saying that it is only brown that recongines other exam boards? Or do you know of any others that do? Pls I need help in this area. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thanks for our answer anyway? Btw are u from the US or UK ?</p>
<p>I’m from the UK. </p>
<p>I’m sure it’s not only Brown that recognises all exam boards. I was using Brown as an example, but seeing as Brown is an Ivy League college, I’m sure that a lot of other colleges in the US accept all exam boards too. I’ve never actually heard of an institution discriminating on the basis of exam board tbh. </p>
<p>Ok good…I was just wondering u know, because all the colleges that seemed to accept alevel credits keep referring to CIE Alevel…I suppose it might be due to the fact that CIE is more common since its Cambridge based. Btw would you advice me to apply to community colleges as a transfer student into the 2nd yr using my alevel
grades, or apply to college as a transfer student . I ask this because i am worried that my low grades from my 2yrs at uni might put me in a bad place. Or do you think my alevels can cover up for the low uni grades?
Btw do you study in the UK or USA?</p>
<p>Ok so basically I was thinking of applying to community colleges as well as apply to some universities as a transfer student. I planned to do this is because I felt that would broaden my chances. At the moment , I already have good A level results, however my GPAs from university are quite low( as low as 1.5). so I felt that most unis might consider the low GPA and that might hurt my chances. Now I wanted to find out if community colleges will accept my A level grades for transfer into 2nd year since the grades were okay. In view of this, do u guys think I am better off applying as a transfer student to community colleges or I should apply to unis. is applying to community college a good idea? </p>
<p>I have been told that one cannot apply for visa using i20 from a community college and only university i20 is accepted for obtaining visa. so I felt if I was going to apply to community college, maybe I can use the i20 of another uni to gain visa and thereafter transfer to community college. do u guys think this is a good idea? are there any possible implications?</p>
<p>I am sure y’all can tell that I am rather confused, yeah , it cos I am rather new to the American system . so any contributions from you guys will be more than appreciated/ Thanks yall.</p>
