i'm taking my A levels this yr and i don't think i can make it into a local university.

Just wana know what are the requirements for going to overseas uni and is it a 100% can enter overseas uni? Coz it seems like everyone who can't get into local Uni are going overseas. Is it really that easy?

thanks!

it depends on what university you want to go, and where it is. uni in the states require you to take SAT. some universities in england and australia are easy to get in. best is you have an idea what uni you want to go, and check out their website, or send them an inquiry for more information.

overseas university is a very vague term. harvard also overseas what. easy to get in meh? likewise, university of phoenix (you might not have heard of it) also overseas, but it is easy to get in.

You have not even taken your A lvls and you say cant get into local uni le.... dont be so negative... think positive! You still got several months to work hard and im sure you can do well to go local.

Overseas uni do look at your A lvl grades although they may have other requirements. So bottom line is A lv is still important even if you are going overseas... If you keep failing in JC does not mean you wont do well in A lvl... Work hard and you can still get good grades!

Why not take up distance learning through SIM?

There r reputable de oversea uni which are located in Singapore eg. Murdoch university (aust). So dun really got to travel to oversea ba..

Or u can go private unis like SIM, Kaplan, etc..

If really wan to go oversea like US or europe, better sign up for SAT now.

SAT is a must for US universities, but it is just an additional credit for european universities.

you have to be clear which universities you want to apply and go to, before doing the other preparations. there are so many universities in the world, and being easy to get in can easily be because they are not recognised in many places in the world, or not reputable.

Take TOEFL and go to USA to study local colleague first before going to University.

dude, all i can say is half your battle is alrdy lost. u really shldnt be considering other alternatives as of now. there'll be alot of time for that after ur As. trust me, if u focus on what u have at hand currently, its still not too late to strive for a local uni. don't waste time brooding over other alternatives yet aight?
