How Many A Levels?

OK basically let's keep this short...

has anyone on SS had to go to Uni with only 2 full a-levels?

My cousin will also have 4 as-levels on top of these 2 a-levels but he's a bit sceptical that he'll be able to get into a good uni with all this...

I think he can - cos that means (if he does well) around 380 UCAS points... but what do you guys think??

:6 Because the usual is 3 a-levels and probably an extra AS but becuase of stupid circumstances by the end of the year my cous will have the above....

He will not get a place at a top uni. Top uni's want minimum 3 A levels and a 4th As with good GCSE (A* and A's).

Also its not only about points cos it also depends on on the subjects he is doing a full A level in.....if its general studies then majority of Uni's don't count general studies.....not only do you have to think about the subjects he is studying but also the course he is applying to. If its a tough course where they have lots of students applying then no he will not get a place. But if its a course where they struggle to meet the numbers then he stands a chance.

I know its not a positive reponse from me but its best to know the truth. But saying that I don't know the full picture of which subjects and what grades.

lol how do you do that?

He said that the new college he's goin to have basically told him that he can't do for example English AS and A2 in one year - he would have been able to last year but not now because the exam boards have all changed...so he'd be doing a new AS paper and an old A2 and they don't coincide now...

Well out of the extra AS-levels he has got that he hasn't been able to carry on to A2 he can just choose the one he feels he's best at, and then do it's A2 using a company such as ICS although this is pretty pricey. OR an even more difficult option would be just buy the text books and teach himself. Then he'd have to also enter himself for the exams, either at an exam centre, or the Sixth form if they hold the relevent ones, though I think he'd also have to pay for this himself.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
