Don't wish your life away, kid.

Most students in Secondary education in Europe spend 6 years in it, not 4 like our GSCEs, so you will need A levels to compete with them.

You sound so mature and jaded, like a rugged, gnarled old sherriff in a Western saloon.

Yes, but you do think they'll accept just GCSE's?
GCSE's mean nothing internationally.
You need A levels to compete, as that is on a par with international leaving school qualifications,- not GCSE's.

Ok let's put it that way. I do not celebrate Christmas as I do have a bit different cultural/religious believes.
You're clearly applying for Law in Reading, therefore you most probably British teen doing his A2.
Sitting on TSR generally commenting on **** doing lousy attempts at making jokes, especially during Christmas indicate of how much a loser you are at the moment.

And thanks for the good mood and "believe" that British teenagers are generally inadequate. How does it feel to be tagged as a role model for a stereotype?

Ciao!

I never said merry christmas to you.

I did my A2s two years ago I think.

Are you suggesting I should have better things to do? What an idea.

Happy winterval.

They're asking for the equivalent qualification that gives the right to go to university in your home country - so in this case, A Levels. If you want to apply before your A Levels are completed then send them a letter from your school (ideally signed and stamped) with your AS and predicted A2 grades.
