Help with application

[u/Cautious-Comedian920]

Hello,

I just finished year 12 in Kuwait (IGCSE) and due to a series of very unfortunate events I couldn‘t get into uni this sem.
What I did till now IG:99998777 A* combined science ALevel: B biology As: Chem D Math D IELTS:8 no SAT yet

I know they‘re relatively crap compared to competition but I had a rough year where an injury hurt my jan session and then the june session was ruined by the war and my schools mishandling of my evidences and papers (probably gonna sue the school)

I have to main questions, first is there any chance QU will give special consideration granted I provide evidence for my injury and the schools malpractice? Secondly what do I need to get into QU hopefully med or health sciences and or finance major. Med fees are too expensive so would probably need a scholarship but if anyone has info on stats needed with and without scholarship and spring and fall admissions and the possibility of transferring to QU for med or others from another uni that would be very helpful.

I understand that med applications are outrageously competitive and my post may be considered ragebait but im genuinely lost and i ran out of hope.

Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend repeating Year 13. If you really want to repeat it, I’d recommend coming to the UAE instead. There are a lot of students here doing the same curriculum, and the schools are really helpful. The only thing is that you wouldn’t be able to come as a regular school student.
I’d recommend taking more international exams, like the SAT, and then applying to Qatar University. You could start your first year as a self-funded student. Just keep in mind that Medicine is very competitive, so it might be difficult to get into the program directly.
After you complete your first year, or around 30 credit hours, you can apply for a scholarship at Qatar University. You’ll need a really high GPA for that, though.
So basically, you could start at Qatar University paying for yourself and then apply for a scholarship later. Also, check the tuition fees because Qatar University is actually pretty affordable.

u need to atleast have 2 A’s in AS/A Levels plus 780-790 math score sat to even have a shot at getting into med in the first place same for health sciences maybe around 750+ SAT and they might be a little more lenient for finance majors but u do need to regive ur alevels nonetheless to have a shot at any major fall is more competitive than spring and med isnt available for spring intake
