studying at American university

9

I want to study at an American university, like some of the Ivy League, but with my GCSEs just being pretty much 6s across the bored, I'm worried that even though I am very hopeful with my A-levels and I'm doing extra and super-curricular that I don't have a chance
Does anyone know if I still have a chance?

I think with American unis they often value extra curricular, which can be outside of your subject eg. Team captain of a football club, more than just the grades.

Of courses check their websites for gcse minimum grades or anything equivalent to it,

Try to research the chances of students from other countries being accepted into the Ivy leagues and what grades did they achieve and what extra curricular activities did they do too

If you’re worried about your GCSEs, you could consider taking the SAT or ACT. These are standardised tests required by some U.S. universities (though many schools are now test-optional). A high score on the SAT/ACT can show your academic potential, even if your GCSEs aren’t what you want them to be.
