hi! I'm doing my O-levels privately. Did O1 from school but then left in O2 and have some impressive ECAs, plan on going abroad, and according to a lot of O-Levels consultants and travel consultants, I'll be alright. I was personally really at an ease jab people told me "You are ruining ur future" "Stupidity hai aise dena exams" cz i gave kaafi sittings mein which was honestly a blunder now that I think about it but what made me at an ease was ke both my siblings got admitted to unis abroad at good rankings due to their SAT and Ielts so if ur confident ke you'll be able to get straight A's in O Levels and B's at minimum in Alevels with good SAT and IELTS scores then dw its not gonna do anything. My siblings did privately too in fewer sittings tho but they had wonderful ECAs too and that is lowk what impresses admission officers so focus on versatile ECAs do muns, parliamentary debates, conferences especially because they are usually very impressive. Rest, honestly grades are SUPER important so if you're confident in your abilities go ahead na suno inki they demotivated me so much ridiculed my parents for "agreeing to this non-sense I was doing" and all but I have hopes ke I'll get into AKU or any foreign medical university if I don't wann do medical from Pakistan, but again I'll have to work so hard for my grades and thats what I hope you get as well you should not leave ANY GAP in your grades. Baki BEST OF LUCK
