Issues for private Olevel candidates.

I am currently doing my Olevels (Cambridge) from Pakistan, I am deciding to do my Olevels privately because of my discouraging school system. But I’ve heard that Good universities dont give preference to private candidate. So, I am really confused, will i get preference?

You won’t get preference no, but if you perform well then it will make a university application strong. Equally, if you perform poorly then it will weaken an application. You’ll be judged on an even playing field with every GCSE candidate in terms of grades.
So that means, If I end up getting good grades (privately) so there’ll be no objection?!

No objection but equally no preference over those who don’t.
