Thanks so much, but in my school in Shanghai.
almost all the people who are receiving 3 or 4 or even 5 A* in their grades and that really worries me a lot in applying for the university.

We actually are able to do both EPQ and IPQ. But EPQ can be used in UCAS and there are several institution for us to do the EPQ project. Eg. Edexcel, Asdan…

so Edexcel offers EPQ for international students? I heard IPQ's are pretty much useless

Oxbridge don't really care about people doing extra A levels - they'll treat yours the same as someone with 6 A*s. You essentially have the best grades you can possibly get.
