this was my last year doing igcses (year 12) so that means if I’m not mistaken that I missed out on so many opportunities and activities that I could have done before in school because yes I’ll go to university of course (its not that bad) but its ESLSCA (the egypt branch too) which I think is not as prestigious as going abroad for a bachelors or going to the AUC in egypt

basically is it over for me given I’m going to a less prestigious university I think like well yes its an european (French) uni and all that but still I wanted to go to the AUC because of the stuff they offer like I think the competitions and stuff plus the prestige

my grades too I think are average its like 1 As 2 Bs and ig 2 or 3 Cs that kind of thing basically grades like mixed up which is what also worries me if you for example won’t be seen as that strong acedemically

Depends on the country I guess.
But I would say: nobody cares as long as you have the paper to prove it. And most of the time they won't even look at that proof.
What you will miss is experiencing a different culture. But if you plan on staying in your country - you don't necessarily need it. (It is always better to know more about other people - but it isnt crucial to success)
