Confusion about UK school system A levels
I am making my application for summer internships in EU region, and basically they ask for Secondary School information "list A levels or equivalents". I am from the US, and I went to a private high school, so we don't have AP system that US public schools have. So what should I just list some of my core classes, or list all my classes. If I list all, it be quite a lot.
Someone with some background on this, please provide some input.
Thanks in advance
maybe put in the ones you did exceptionally well in?
I initially left it empty and submitted my application. Afterwards, I got an email from the recruitment office, asking me to email them my A levels or equivalent course information. So should I explain to them about my high school system, or just keep hush, and email them some of the few core classes I took.
This is really quite a dilemma. I don't want to screw my chances bc of this.
A levels are advanced level classes that high school students take in the UK. Did u at least take any IB classes/exams?
I attended a private highschool. So there were no separation between advance or normal. Basically, every class is suppose to be held to a certain standard. (I guess that's what the school's thought process is)
So any suggestions to this dilemma?? I need to reply back by tomorrow or else my application will be withdrawn.
The only thing u can do is list the most advanced classes that u took in high school. For example, did u take calculus, physics, or any finance-related courses? What internship position are u applying for?
I am applying for Investment Banking positions. I didn't take any finance related courses in highschool. I took a lot of literature, and history courses. I am currently enrolled in a well respected Msc Finance course right now. So what I took all the way back in high school shouldn't really matter????
Just tell them what you took man Jesus. If you're in a MSc now I'm fairly certain what you're doing now is a bit more relevant to them then the fact that you had to retake freshman gym.
Isn't that crap though? I'll be applying for grad positions after getting an Msc. Finance next year, a full 7 years after being out of high school. Why oh why do they need those scores?
I did the A levels. Its a 13 year system opposed to a 12 year. They're pretty stuck up about it in the UK and Europe. I tend to find it downright obnoxious that MDs @ BBs still continue to list their A level scores on their resume when they're almost approaching retirement.
