<p>@ desi, BYU’s awesome, as ever! haha. I’m gonna be there in less than a month to kick off my sophomore year. Looking forward to it… 
What are your plans now?</p>
<p>Okay I need some info. How long does it take on average for a student visa to go through ‘administrative processing?’ <em>rolls eyes at the US Embassy</em></p>
<p>I got mine back 2 weeks after the interview.
From what I have observed, the processing takes longer for males than for females due to the clearing process involved.</p>
<p>How did the a-levels result turn out for everyone on CC?</p>
<p>what do u guys think of university of LEEDS?</p>
<p>I got ACCDD but aaaaal is velll because I was told during orientation that colleges do not care!</p>
<p>@talha I am at university of florida now</p>
<p>so how many ppl are still waiting on their visas?</p>
<p>AoA, I have given 4 AS and 1 A2 in June and have got ABCC. I will be retaking both the C’s ones in November and hope to get both A’s, I want to ask that as my results for my Nov session will be coming in Jan, so can i still apply in US who have deadlines of 31 Dec. And can i mail them my results when they come out. How the Uni’s will be seeing my APP do they overlook our low grades and consider only super scored ones? Please Help and Do the US uni’s have some kind of “conditional offers” like their UK counterparts which give seat on final result. Finally if i want to get in a good tier university in US what should I do?
BTW i will be giving SAT I in Oct and II in Dec, and the rest of my App is all very good(couple of leadership EC’s, lots of community service etc…)
Thanks in Advance!</p>
<p>Regards!</p>
<p>its pretty good. Im going to manchester though.</p>

<p>Yeah I’ve heard that too but I got my visa in 8 working days counting from (and including) the day of the interview. I think it varies from case to case. I’m a guy btw.</p>
<p>wow this thread is still on the move :P</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s finally on the move again.</p>
<p>On the administrative processing issue, the only answer is that it varies. I know about people who got it in 10 days, people who got it in two weeks, and people for whom it took in excess of a month (40 days). All you can really do is wait.</p>
<p>anybody please</p>
<p>Ordinary human, if you’re giving your A levels again then don’t send them the grades you have. Instead get your school to give you a letter that states your expected grades for the november exams and send that instead. Plus, they’ll also consider you high school transcripts so that would do for them until you get your grades.</p>
<p>Ordinary human, I think you should approach this by thinking that you can’t change the cards you’re dealt – just how you play them. You’ve been dealt the cards; you’re retaking AS/A-Levels and you can’t change that. So you need to think about how you’ll go about the uni application procedure.</p>
<p>When you apply, you will send in your high school transcripts. Make sure your recommendations, essays and SATs are good. Also, in addition to whatever your dream universities are, make sure to apply to mid-level universities that will be less likely to be too choosy and make a big deal about re-sits.</p>
<p>You should remember that you can usually send in new information later, as it becomes available or as part of the mid-year report. So when your re-sit results do come out, make sure to tell your universities about them so that they may consider them. Your results should be out long before universities make and post final decisions, but it’s still very important that you apply to mid-level universities too as it’s possible that top unis may reject or disadvantage your application because of the re-sits (but you should still apply to good unis too).</p>
<p>@NoonesFool but i have an A and a B at 79(i mean i could easily convert that into an A in A2) what should i do with that?
@mushoo i know it will hurt my chances but i was thinking that do i have a chance at all in the first place? as far as safeties are concerned i will be applying to McGill and U of T in Canada and ANU in Australia.</p>

<p>Ordinary Human, most people who apply don’t usually send in thier AS level results. They send in expected grades, and if you go to the websites, you’ll find that’s what most colleges ask for. As for final A level grades, I don’t think they even matter (unless, of course you have a U) since the decisions are out long before the results are even declared. If your O level result was pretty good, send that. What would really count in your apps are your SAT scores and high school transcript - gradewise. And of course, expected grades.</p>
<p>Also, ANU is not a safety. Apply to england for safeties.</p>
<p>

<p>Where did you get that from? When I applied I sent in my AS-Level grades as did everyone else I know. I’m pretty sure school transcripts include AS-Level grades, although this may vary from school to school.</p>
