I know a girl that got accepted into Yale's with an unweighted GPA of 4.1. She was doing IB though not A-Levels, I can ask for you how many IB subjects she had... IB is similar to A - Levels though. She participated in a lot of extra-curriculum activities but she only wrote down 5 on her application (maximum), she took part in a lot of non-academic activities (outside school).

I can ask specifically for you if needed.

Omega,

Sorry for the late reply... was occupied with a lot of things. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with A-Level's that got accepted. I think she took the ACT with writing component instead of the SAT Subjects. The thing admissions liked about her was that she balanced her school work with a looot of extra-curricular activities and she was involved with a lot of things outside school like horse-riding and sports.

That would look good on your resume and will help you.
By the way, did she do 5 A-Levels in 1 year? or AS+A2 in 2 years?
