    High School Grades for postgraduate
    How important are your A-levels, IB, etc when applying for a postgraduate degree, so do universities even look at them?

    It depends on lots of things. Speaking from experience, as a rule, generally no but there are instances where certain A Level grades can boost an application. Poor A Level grades will rarely be a hindrance though, particularly if they were followed by a strong degree.
