dude....amazing AINT enough.......u gotta be above that...u shuld have at least 3 a's in as level.......but thats just da beginning. u also hav to have participated in lots and lots of extracurricular activities in school.....plus excellent sat 1 and 2 scores.....the essay u wirte in ur uni application form has to really impress the admissions officers.....n u gotta have leadership qualities........u can also get a scholarship if ur really good at something like sports or debating etc.
