Do 5 to be safe
i think 10 would be better, maybe 50
If you do more, it's a lot harder to keep on top of them all, getting A*A*A doing 3 is immeasurably better than AABBB doing 5
What about doing 22 A levels?
Am I advantaged if I'm doing 12 A levels?
22 perhaps may not be sufficient for applying to major Unis. My son tried applying for only 25 a levels, but he was convinced after advice from school to take 43 a levels and 10 BTEC qualifications and an additional 18 AP classes in an external course. With this, he only managed to graduate from Oxford and Stanford and Cambridge and TU delft and Imperial with only 30 different diplomas, really disappointing. To be safe, 50 a levels would be enough to get 50 diplomas from 10 unis.

He’s interviewing me next month and I’m frightened to death
Yeah?
I'm taking maths, biology, physics, and chemistry, AND an IPQ (Like the EPQ, but for international students) and I am terrified. I have not yet started, and I know I will do great, but I am still scared. Wish me luck! (I will need it lol)
Update: Things are going well
@@seungseungminji hey! that's the options i want to take, how are you finding them so far? i'm worried it would be too much lol
@@user-ok7iq8wt1y So far really good, but you do have to be quite confident in all the subjects… There’s a lot to do, and you have to be really consistent or you’ll fall behind. But it has been really fun learning so many things! Also, if you took further maths last year, maths is so easy! I don’t know why people make it out to be so hard…
@@seungseungminji
where are you planning on applying to?
@@vivianebajjani My dream colleges are Harvard, Stanford and Hopkins. Also Trinity college, Amsterdam university and some other ones in Europe. All for medicine
So I get a C on EPQ do they admissions officer not care
