If you <\/span>study in the UK<\/span><\/a> and you\u2019ve earned A-Levels or are preparing for them, you already know they\u2019re a gold standard for academic achievement. But what do they mean if you\u2019re looking for universities across the pond?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that US universities know and value A Levels. In fact, more than <\/span>970 US institutions<\/span><\/a>, including all Ivy League universities, formally accept Cambridge International AS & A Levels, and many may award advanced credit for strong results.
