It would help if you posted the question. Almost any upper-year student will know about levels. It doesn't help if we don't know what you need help with though!

I did my A levels before going to Mac in the U.K. I had a conditional offer too, and got in. If you need my help with something let me know.

oh YAY great! okay so umm when they gave you conditions, was it only for the a'levels or did it come with a minimum grade for the high school graduation program as well? They told me that I must complete my a'levels with grades as predicted (ABB, yeah i'm stupid lol) AND I have to complete my high school diploma with a minimum final grade of 84%. My final grade was a B for high school, if you convert that to a percentage it comes to 79% but the thing is I had already finished my diploma last year and I only stayed an extra year to do a'levels so i cant really change my final high school average...
...there's more =P, sorry!
I sent them an email asking whether i HAVE to get the alevel grades as predicted and if i got lower than that would i be rejected, and they said that it doesnt matter as long as I get 84% in the diploma thing.
I AM SO CONFUSED. (if there is an icon with a face blowing their head up, insert it here)
so what im gonna do is first of all, go to my school's uni advisor and ask her if a B really is a 79% or higher(hopefully!) and if it isnt the im gonna call McMaster and tell them what the situation is like. I didnt call them up yet cuz im not sure what to say, i dont wanna get rejected for saying the wrong thing and end up nowhere! but please, help me =0
thank you!!! =)
