#Bang! Now you've got to be in uni by August!

Well anon, you're in a bit of a tough spot.
First of all, there's not really a lot of universities out there which accept undergraduate admissions that late! Most deadlines are in January, with a few rare universities having rolling admissions that are open till about March. However, all universities typically require you to enroll and pay your initial deposit by May 1 - this is AFTER you've been accepted. I highly doubt there's a single university that would allow you to get away with applying all the way in June – when I say not a single, I mean it.
Your only option, if you really wanted to pull this off, would be to identify the universities with rolling admission/late deadlines (for example, UMich has a February 1 deadline, and ASU has rolling admission), and start working on writing your Common App essay and getting your Letters of Recommendation right now, and somehow submit in the next 15 or so days. However, this isn't really very doable either. It's made worse by the fact that most of these universities require you to submit an SAT score, which you mentioned you haven't given or prepped for. The next SAT date you'd be able to take is the March 8 SAT, which is too far away, so you likely wouldn't be able to meet any university's test score submission deadline.
You also mentioned that you might need to do some courses/community service to strengthen your application by July. I once again reiterate - there's basically no universities in the US that will allow you to apply that late. I'm assuming that this sentence applies that you don't really have any community service/courses of merit on your existing application; if you were applying for next year, that would have been fine, since you would've had time to work on developing these, but you simply don't have the time this year.
I understand your dad's intentions with asking you to get into uni by August this year – however, it simply isn't possible. The application cycle's basically over and the SAT dates are too late, so even if you DID pull off your A Levels, you don't have time to apply.
Even the really low-ranked Cal State universities that are still accepting applications right now close their applications (even for their non-competitive majors, like art, the natural sciences, business administration, communication, and so on) in five days. It isn't just one of those situations that's impossible because you're in a time crunch - it's impossible because there's quite literally almost no options left to apply to.
dont wanna be that person, but we dont even know if theyre applying to the US?
in the last line they mention the country theyre gonna apply to has apps open until july - its turkey im guessing?
they mentioned the common app
and the SAT
but yes actually
i may be mistaken
common app, hmm. but SAT, yes, turkey needs SAT
lmaooo okay but don't jumpscare me like that bro 😭 jkjk
to the anon person, ive no idea why you said common app and then proceeded to say your choice of uni is open for apps until july
if its not turkey, i recommend applying
they only take a month or two to filter out whos accepted and whos not
you have a chance, dont sweat it
