International students...?

[Postkasse]

Hi.

I'm an international student applying to Birmingham. So far I haven't heard anything...

I was wondering if any international students have recieved interviews/offers...?

=)

Hi Postkasse, i'm an international applicant too. i'm from singapore, where are you from?

I haven't heard anything from birmingham either.. but my school says usually international students are given interviews during the january to march period. not sure..

[infinity]

im also from singapore...yeah...interviews for intl students living overseas (as in not studying in england) should be conducted Q1 '08. interviewees must travel to birmingham for their interviews

[cherylsky]

Oh alright. hey infinity what other schools did you apply for? are you gonna apply to NUS? =)

[cherylsky]

oops sorry i just realised you're already in year 1 at birmingham. what was the interview like? and btw, what does it mean when a uni states you need 5A*s or 6A*s for GCSE? is it like the A1s in singapore O levels?
cos these are my O level grades:

emaths-A1
a maths-A2
chem-B3
Bio-B3
geog-A2
combined humanities-A1
english-A2
chinese-A2

so do i still stand a chance?

[infinity]

yeah...A*'s are basically A1's. but have you finished your a-lvls already?

[cherylsky]

nope i haven't finished my a levels yet. still taking the edexcel a levels..finishing in June 2008. so i used predicted grades to apply.

you're still doing your a-lvls? im not so sure then, cuz i applied after NS so i already had my a-lvl results which kinda offset my not-so-stellar gcses
