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

University prestige doesn't matter at all in my experience. Unless you go to a pay-to-get-degree uni, your grades matter more. And all of that is worthless after you get your first job, because then its experience from there onwards.

    I don't even know what half of that shit is and my life is going alright. So I doubt you are doomed.

    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)
