    I got rejected from Birmingham and i am not sure what the reason may be...I have Maths, Physics, Chemistry at A'level with A and i had my biology a level pending, i got an average ukcat of 615 and 7.5 at IELTS. I am Cypriot and gone to public school so if anyone can help me if whether this is the problem?

    Well B'ham doesn't use the UKCAT, so that's not an issue.

    I'm not sure what the IELTS is. Is that equivalent to our GCSEs?

    You will need GCSEs unless you offer the IB, in most cases they accept IB applicants without GCSEs. However, when I emailed Birmingham they said that I would have to take a gap year if they were to accept me because they selected very much based on grades and they needed to have certified results beforehand. So for Birmingham GCSEs or (in case you don't have GCSEs) completed A-levels or IB etc. are a must if you want to be considered.

    Is the whole qualification presented in the English language? Like is every subject done in English?
