I am wondering if they actually matter in applying to universities? Lets say I get horrendous grades in igcse but did really well in a level. Will they reject because of my low igcse grades?

there may be some universities who still reject you because of bad igcses but its not all of them for sure

just do well tf why u caring abt what matters or not

#

u wanna get all Cs in igcse or smth?

#

unis might consider u dense if they see u failed the easiest curriculum in cambridge boards

it's also a bad sign for unis if they look at your application and see that you did shit in ig even if you did much better in a levels

yea don't try throw your igcses 😭

#

even if improvement may speak a lot about your character - it may already be enough for universities to auto deny you sometimes .w.

In IGCSES and I’m not taking maths again in ALs, just Bio, Physics and Chem. I put in no effort for Maths when I was doing the IGCSEs. Because of some complications at the time, I only got three months to complete the maths syllabus along with another two subs.
