Alright

#

Is a week enough because I have to give the SAT in dec ?

#

So my last A2 exam is on 7th nov and I am thinking of giving the IELTS somewhere in mid nov and then got to prep for SAT

wispy tendon
#

@white sun Well there are people that can read and write in English but cant converse for shit; so I guess it's okay?

white sun
#

right right but is a week enough for prep tho ? @wispy tendon

#

For IELTS

wet dune
#

@white sun For next year you have to apply now

#

same with NZ

#

I apply now for the 2020 Semester

wet dune
#

@white sun are you still planning on studying in UOA?

wispy tendon
#

@white sun possible

wet dune
#

IELTS?

#

whats that may i ask?

#

is that like a English requirement to study overseas?

frozen swan
#

yep

forest agate
#

Since I'm planning to study abroad (for now plan A UK, plan B Netherlands) I noticed that they all have a limit amount of hours for part time jobs per week. However, if I want to do an inconsistent freelance work: one example would be making art commisions per month, would that need to be counted for the part time job hours or will it not count?

#

I mean technically you're working on your own, you're in control of the money, and you might not make much so I'd assume that it won't count in the part time job hours and I'd hope that it won't because I really want to do extra work to have extra savings/just in case I don't have a part time job. But I don't want to get into legal trouble just in case

frozen swan
#

I don't think in The Netherlands freelance work counts as part time

#

my info may be outdated since last time I checked on IND/Rijksoverheid was in May

#

for the UK, I have no idea

marsh dagger
#

@frozen swan in the UK, afaik it only counts if your client is a British firm

#

Or if you are legally an independent contractor as opposed to an employee

forest agate
#

praisethesun yes that means diligently drawing to make a popular account for drawing so I can do commission in the future will be worth it

#

Does anyone know how hard it would be for me to get into NTU

#

Like I can get 2A* for Maths and Physics

#

2A maybe for Bio and Chem

#

I'm planning on computer science

#

because based on online research seems to be all 3A* minimum

#

Really stressing me out

wet dune
#

@barren plover NTU?

white sun
#

Nanyang technological university

wet dune
#

Huh cool

slow widget
#

What do you think about eindhoven

heady wraith
#

im taking physics, further math, economics and we are required to do spanish. What courses could i do and what are good careers to go into?

wet dune
#

@heady wraith um well it's really up to your intrests but with physics and math you can do engineering or do a science degree in aerospace or in something to do with space. Again completely up to your own intrests and what you wanna do but since your not doing all the sciences, it limits your scope

frozen swan
#

@slow widget TU/e, meh. for engineering, go to TU delft instead, for biology related, go to WUR

#

but really in all honesty I'm not particularly fond of the thought of living in north-brabant lmao

#

unrelated: leiden university doesn't really reply to your emails while TU delft does

proper obsidian
#

Hi people, I'm just having a question about my subject choices so if anyone can offer me a recommendation I would be very much glad

#

Are there lots of overlaps between IGCSE and A Level (as a whole) Accounting and Economics??

#

I'm not taking IGCSE right now tbh but I will take A Level next year, it's a bit hard for me to choose between these two. I haven't yet had experiences with Accounting since my current school doesn't offer it but I am taking Economics which I very much enjoy.

#

If I'm doing a degree in Business Analytics and Data Analytics which should I take, (obviously I have included Mathematics and Computer Science which are more facilitating, but I am also interested in the fields of finance and business)

wet dune
#

@proper obsidian okay then. let me guide you through subject choices for business. Now if your wanting to do a degree in business that specialists in Data and Business Analytics, then doing a A level subject in Economics especially will be every useful when you study. Id also look at Business studies as its general layout but it cover some very important facts that will help your out. it really depends also on the req of the uni. Over here Auckland Uni basc ask you to do a bunch of subjects from tables and doing business is optional and a great boost to your Uni work. Im planning on doing a degree in innovation and entreprenuership and management

proper obsidian
#

@wet dune OH MY GOD I'M FROM NZ TOO, but why is your name USA

#

I'm going to Uni of Auckland as well (but I really wish I could study in the UK it's just that my parents cannot afford the high tuition fees)

#

I'm actually planning to do Bachelor of Engineering conjoints w/ Bachelor of Commerce in Software Engineering and Business Analytics before doing a Master in Data Analytics and another Master in BA

#

So there are some requirements for entrance into my bachelor degree:

  • NCEA L3 Physics (or A Level Physics) which I have studied through Te Kura (the online school). I will take those NCEA papers in the upcoming NZQA exams so I'm not doing AL Physics.
  • A Level Mathematics which I am taking the subject
  • University Entrance and literacy/numeracy requirements which I am yet to achieve
  • So eventually I have space for 3 other subjects. English Language is compulsory, so I have 2 left. One for Computer Science, and one for Economics/Accounting which I quite don't know what to choose, it's not a requirement that I take Economics or Accounting but I know it's good to have and I want to do them
#

but hey, thanks!

wet dune
#

@proper obsidian whoa whoa whoa calm it down there. Your doing a bacheolr of engineering with a cojoint with business in analytics? You've been to analytics course? I haven't seen a analytics course at auckalnd uni lmao

#

I'm from northland

proper obsidian
#

I'm from Wellington, I'm attending a normal high school here but I will move to Auckland next year with my family and will attend a school which offers A Level

#

I don't think there is a specific bachelor for Business Analytics

#

I don't know how courses in UoA work tho, don't they use a major/minor system etc? Victoria uses it and I think we can combine up to two majors and 1 minor for Bach of Commerce/Science

wet dune
#

@proper obsidian it's a mainly just majors

#

So technically you'd be a cojoint of software engineering and business analytics

proper obsidian
#

Yea which is quite heavy but I hope I'll manage to get through

wet dune
#

It's so weird that they offer analytics cause analytics is weird as hell

#

You'd also need 330 points

#

@proper obsidian how many points you got currently?

proper obsidian
#

Oh you mean the ucas tariff score

wet dune
#

Yeah

proper obsidian
#

I'm still in NCEA L1 just planning for next year, but it is expected I got Excellence in all my 6 subjects this year after the exam and I hope I have about 107 Excellence credits

wet dune
#

Oh lol you need like 330 UCAS points for that conjoined progammes which is like 2-3A and some B's

#

If your coming from NCEA to Cambridge your mot gonna have a fun time

#

It requires alot of afterschool study

proper obsidian
#

Wait is it that hard to get A in Cambridge, is A comparable to Excellence

wet dune
#

@proper obsidian basc A levels is Uni level one

#

As is year 13 NCEA

#

A levels is scholarship

proper obsidian
#

My lord

wet dune
#

Yeah

#

I mean it's a huge jump from IGSCE to AS and its even bigger from NCEA

proper obsidian
#

I'm planning to stock up some IGCSE and AS Maths paper 1 and 5 this school holiday

wet dune
#

I'm currently on 110 without maths and I need 190 for business and 240 for cojoint with law

proper obsidian
#

oh, good luck!!

wet dune
#

So about 80 points from my three subject or 130 extra for cojoint lmao. I've got A2 physics tmmrw

proper obsidian
#

If you know Macleans College. I'm going to that school

wet dune
#

@proper obsidian nah I dont. I'm moving down to Auckland tho for uni

#

So I'm going to be around if you need help with AS levels

proper obsidian
#

oh thanks!!!

wet dune
#

@proper obsidian I'd reccomend you take Marine Sceince for the points and business studies and psych for the lhat points

#

The more points the better

proper obsidian
#

Are those easier subjects

#

Don't think my school has Marine Science

#

It's so nice of you that you help me with this. And I feel lucky I met someone coming from NZ as well.

wet dune
#

@proper obsidian you can easily take it as a correspondent cause its really nice and simple subject

#

Yeah they are the easier subjects

proper obsidian
#

Okay thanks!

#

I'll try and persuade my school to let me take it without studying

#

But thanks for the advice!!!

wet dune
#

np

proper obsidian
#

how do you think of Geography

#

AL Geography

wet dune
#

i didnt take Geo in AS and A level

proper obsidian
#

thanks!! But if the requirement is that I pass AL Mathematics and Physics, and let's say I satisfy them, and for 3 other AL subjects that I achieve higher that can together combine into the tariff score 330 will it work like that. I mean do you think I am required to count AL Mathematics and Physics in my tariff score, or do they just use my best three units

reef dew
#

soo. Im doing A levels and want to pursue Computer Science as my major. My A2 subjects are Math, CS, IT, Economics. My main issue is my weakness in mathematics. Most universities require a minimum B in math but I'm currently achieving like a low C. Its not like im bad at math, its just that I take time to understand it. Even though im fighting for a predicted B with my teachers, Im worried what will happen if I dont get a B in my final grade. I dont know what to keep as my backup incase my grades go south. Im planning to apply to Europe. Also I would say I have a good resume with regards to CS, but apparently I just need math for applying, not even CS itself as a subject.

wet dune
#

@Sanil#2634 okay so what are the predictions for the rest of your subjects?

#

@reef dew cause I'd think that if you've got the points, you should consider nz as we have lower math requirements and we still have reputable programs

reef dew
#

Im getting easily an A in CS and IT hopefully, and as for eco I'll be probably getting a C, im not that great at that

wet dune
#

Okay, so what are your UCAS point you reckon you get?

#

Like Tariff points

reef dew
#

hmm im not sure, let me check on their website and calculate

wet dune
#

Cause a A at A2 comp science is a 100 UCAS Points @reef dew

#

I mean 120

#

But that's averaged with AS

#

Which equivalent is 60 points, now if you get a A star in A2 Comp Science, then were cooking cause that would give you and extra 10 points, giving ya about 70 in A2 and 60 In AS, assuming you got a A in AS

reef dew
#

yeah I got A in AS for CS and IT

wet dune
#

Aight cool

#

So that already gives you UE

#

Which is university entrance in NZ

#

As long as you got a D in AS english and a B in IG maths

reef dew
#

but the issue is also the location, I mentioned Europe because my parents dont want me to go too far. I reside in India, so NZ will be far

#

I have an A in IG Math

wet dune
#

Not as far as europs

#

Then your sweet with UE, what's yours AS Eng result?

reef dew
#

Ive taken AS General English and did it this session, so yet to know

#

our school does not provide A level english, so we do AS english over the course of 2 years

wet dune
#

Okay because you need a minimum of a D to get full UE

#

You only need AS eng

reef dew
#

I should be able to get a D xD

wet dune
#

Oh lol, it's pretty difficult for AS english

#

I mean I'm more of a business person myself lol

reef dew
#

yea but I took general english, not sure about the boundaries for those tho

wet dune
#

I did AS Eng in a year and got a D with a couple percentage to spare lol

reef dew
#

got an A in IG English too if that helps

wet dune
#

Not really lol

reef dew
#

lol

wet dune
#

Cause I got a A star in english lit

reef dew
#

dayum

wet dune
#

In IG

#

And then just got D in Eng Lang AS lol

reef dew
#

wew

#

but yea, youre talking about minimum requirements for the uni as a whole

#

for cs its a whole new ballgame with math

wet dune
#

@reef dew yeah I'd reckon look at UOA, university of Auckland website

#

And there requirements for comp science

#

It's the best uni in the country

reef dew
#

ohh okay gotcha

wet dune
#

Also bro @reef dew I have indian parents aswell, so travelling to and from india is no biggie

reef dew
#

and damn, 29hrs overall for me to travel to NZ yikes

wet dune
#

Lol, that's if you fly cheaply

reef dew
#

well ofcourse, im a student, I wont fly expensive lol

wet dune
#

If you take a break at Singapore you should have less hours

reef dew
#

hmm i'll look into that

#

time to look into UOA

wet dune
#

I mean my family live in Bangalore @reef dew

reef dew
#

thank you so much

wet dune
#

No worries

reef dew
#

ooh I live in Chennai

#

xD

wet dune
#

Yeah my grand parents are from chennai

reef dew
#

nice

#

its a small world haha

wet dune
#

My parents are part tamil and part kannada

reef dew

versed iron
wet dune
#

@versed iron uh if you did final year of IGSCE's I'd think you'd choose advanced

versed iron
#

I did my IG's during my first two years of high school. Should I still choose advanced?

wet dune
#

@versed iron if you did the advanced IGCSE then sure

#

Like if your gonna go to AS and A levels next year then pick advanced as what you have done

anyone over here interested in becoming a therapist?

sour flame
#

Thank you guys

#

@tired narwhal Iโ€™m actually considering it

tired narwhal
#

what subjects are you majoring in

forest agate
#

@tired narwhal it depends on what kind of therapist tho, there is many kinds of them, and the ones I know so far is physiotherapy and psychology-related therapy. And in some certain countries, sometimes universities aren't even needed to become one, but in my country's case that's because some people who does religious-sort of rituals are associated with the name therapist too

Computer Science?

opaque igloo
#

Is there only 1 kind of math in A levels?

barren plover
#

There's 2

#

But I took only normal maths

opaque igloo
#

so you need to check the university requirements then

#

for computer science

marsh dagger
#

NUS is very competitive

opaque igloo
#

^^

marsh dagger

i applied with 3 a and 1 A* predicted

#

they never got back to me

opaque igloo
#

oof

#

Does anyone know the average time universities at UK need to reply to applications, applied back in early December have received acknowledments from all but have corresponded with only one, about information requests and mailed them my predicted grades, still waiting for something from the other 4

marsh dagger
#

@sacred mural there's a very large range, most universities accept on a rolling basis

#

one of my choices gave me an offer within 2 days, another took 6 months before rejecting me

#

but then i applied in november, so might be a bit different for you

#

a month seems reasonable

sacred mural
#

Waiting for a reply from Imperial is just too....

marsh dagger
#

ahh yeah

#

they're probs gonna take a while

#

top uni things

sacred mural
#

Exactly!

#

And all of my universities are of the same tier!....

marsh dagger
#

what are your choices?

sacred mural
#

Leeds, bristol, warwick imperial and one more i dont remember....

marsh dagger
#

oh

#

what course?

sacred mural
#

Well, my teachers and my counselor were kind of forcing me to take computer science, but I want work on hardware components and processor design, and i have already begun learning java, so i applied for electronics and something something

#

Too many different names for a single course for every diff uni

marsh dagger
#

true

sacred mural
#

Generally computer engineering

marsh dagger
#

i'm doing computer science at leeds actually

sacred mural
#

Whoa!!!!

marsh dagger
#

yup

#

my first choice was warwick and i got the conditional offer

sacred mural
#

Was fishing in a pool and caught a shark

marsh dagger
#

but coudn't meet the maths condition

sacred mural
#

Hmmm

marsh dagger
#

wanted an A in math, got a B :/

sacred mural
#

U got any unconditional offers(highly unlikely(

marsh dagger
#

nope

sacred mural
#

What were your A level scores?

marsh dagger
#

they don't give those unless the uni is shit or you are god

sacred mural
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

marsh dagger
#

Physics A, Chem A, Maths B, Computer Science A*

sacred mural
#

So how much time did leeds take?

#

To reply...

marsh dagger
#

around 2 weeks ish

#

and they even dropped my offer

#

from AAA to AAB

sacred mural
#

Ok.....

#

Is it normal for me to be waiting this long

marsh dagger
#

how long have you been waiting?

sacred mural
#

I think it has been 4 weeks eliminating the christmas holidays

marsh dagger
#

which is about normal

#

it took me 2 months for some of my other offers

sacred mural
#

How longer would i need to wait...

#

Pls let me DM you

marsh dagger
#

sure man go ahead

#

i'd say wait a couple more months, then assume you've been rejected

frozen swan
#

yay me

#

I've heard a reply from imperial back in october

#

and it's drum rolls a rejection letter!

#

imperial usually takes much longer

#

a friend of mine applied for bioengineering according to the oxbridge deadlines

and her interview for imperial is scheduled in february

#

LSE needs it

dusky igloo
#

@opaque igloo what was your sat score

opaque igloo
#

1250 rip

turbid mica
#

Do you think A* A* B is good enough for looking into top universities also with a good sat score

#

for computer science

trail owl
#

@turbid mica depends on where you're applying, I'm guessing you mean America because you mentioned SAT scores. If your ECs (extracurriculars) and your essays are good too then you'll be fine for the most part, but it really depends on how competitive the unis you're applying to are

shadow tree
#

whats the B in tho? cuz it might make things more difficult if its in math or sth

turbid mica
#

Its computer science

#

@trail owl my ecas don't really shine so i don't think of applying to really competitive unis like the ivies or mit for my course. Maybe just below them i guess

#

@shadow tree A* in physics A in maths B in computer

CS in general is pretty competitive usually, and the T100 unis are all pretty pushy. The one big factor that could play a part in your admission beyond all the stuff I mentioned would be your nationality and whether or not you need Financial Aid. Needing financial aid usually puts you in a slightly disadvantageous position but it doesn't factor in too much as an international student.

@turbid mica

frozen swan
#

@turbid mica my advice, I think it's not good enough

shadow tree
#

CS is gonna be the first subject they look at so a B will make your app much less strong, unless you have an AMAZING personal statement, even in which case it's slim

frozen swan
#

exactly

#

even if you're aiming just below them for example like the UC system, your chances are pretty low

turbid mica
#

yeah i guess i'll retake CS hopefully get an A this time

toxic python
#

Is this for US or U.K. Unis?

#

Because I think that changes the entire perspective. If itโ€™s the US, itโ€™s significantly easier to get in with the B (by phrasing your common app essay etc. better) compared to the U.K.

#

Guys whatโ€™s an interesting course that is finance related and has good future prospects?

#

So far Iโ€™m fine with all the options available but having a hard time finalising what I want to do

tiny ridge
#

Actuarial science?

#

Haha i hv the same problem m8

void fiber
#

Actuarial science seemed too data focused for me

tiny ridge
#

Oh okay

void fiber
#

I donโ€™t mind data

#

But their jobs didnโ€™t seem that interesting and the amount of maths they have to do put me off aswell

tiny ridge
#

Oh okay

#

I see

#

Well i dnt hv any more suggestions atm but wishing u all the very best w ur choice

void fiber
#

Thanks fam

#

Hope u find a good choice aswell ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

tiny ridge
#

๐Ÿ˜

real echo
#

What about accounting and finance?

void fiber
#

Yeah thatโ€™s the main one

#

However Iโ€™m doing accounts for alevels and while itโ€™s easy for me I donโ€™t find much enjoyment init

real echo
#

Ohh right, you could do a BBA as well, it has finance aspects in it

void fiber
#

Has anyone done banking ? Or know anyone who has ?

real echo
#

You could do a BA, B.Com in economics which is broader though

void fiber
#

Business law and taxation seems like a fun challenge

real echo
#

Yeah I know someone who's done banking

void fiber
#

Hmm that seems a bit too out of my way but probably the most interesting choice
Will keep that in mind

real echo
#

Yeahh you could then go on to do a masters in banking and finance so you have a broad knowledge beforehand, and then can decide to specialise.

slow depot
#

so... im in need of career advice :))

shadow tree
#

go ahead @slow depot what is it?

opaque igloo
#

yeah

slow depot
#

im probably gonna do a science career and considered biotech/food science but now im not so sure

shadow tree
#

why tho?

slow depot
#

idk im kinda losing interest in those two

#

cant think of any other cool jobs

opaque igloo
#

what is it that you generally have interest in?

slow depot
#

i kinda like bio and chem stuff

#

yea

opaque igloo
#

and you want to do something related to that?

slow depot
#

yep, i lowkey hate physics but i might be interested in engineering in the future (chances=0)

shadow tree
#

keep in mind "cool" is extremely relative

#

and will wear off soon

slow depot
#

mm hm

#

tru tru

shadow tree
#

sometimes "what the heart wants" is difficult to find

slow depot
#

agreed

shadow tree
#

we're teens not wise old men

opaque igloo
#

true

shadow tree
#

so what is it that you can tolerate doing for the rest of your life?

slow depot
#

thats the problem

#

i dunno

opaque igloo
#

okay so let me tell you my story...

slow depot
#

okie

opaque igloo
#

I was interested in Engineering till grade 11th starting

slow depot
#

oooooo

opaque igloo
#

but what I was getting marks in and I was able to do easily was Business

#

Then my interest went towards business cuz I realised that technology and engineering can be integrated into business

#

I mean why not

shadow tree
#

if you wanna make money then you gotta work with money

#

@slow depot what do you think of pharma?

#

ig med is out

slow depot
#

dont u jz prescribe meds

shadow tree
#

and why not biomed?

#

lol no ๐Ÿ˜‚

opaque igloo
#

but it is too long course

shadow tree
#

you can work in R&D

opaque igloo
#

I mean have you thought about going into neuroscience?

shadow tree
#

BRUH

#

how is that not med

slow depot
#

brains are disgusting

#

im sorry

opaque igloo
#

lol

#

I am fine with that

#

no judgements

slow depot
#

haha

shadow tree
#

do you enjoy ogranic chem?

slow depot
#

and biomed hmmm, i kinda told myself i wouldnt do anything med but idk

#

what do u do in tht

shadow tree
#

same sis same

opaque igloo
#

Chem is so tough

shadow tree
#

biomed aint med tho

opaque igloo
#

I regret taking Chem

slow depot
#

but u modify meds and stuff

opaque igloo
#

HL

slow depot
#

@opaque igloo why haha

shadow tree
#

you could be developing new prosthetic materials

slow depot
#

i think biology is hardest tho

#

whats prosthetic

opaque igloo
#

Cuz that is the only subject I am failing in

slow depot
#

ahahaha

shadow tree
#

finding newdrugs

#

are you in AS rn?

slow depot
#

yep jz started

#

last week

opaque igloo
#

but that is really unpredictable

shadow tree
#

ah oki

opaque igloo
#

do you have something related to business

slow depot
#

well

#

i did accounting for igs

#

thts all

#

hahaha

#

idw be an accountant

opaque igloo
#

same

slow depot
#

accountancy is pretty mundane

opaque igloo
#

I will be a futurist and an entrepreneur

shadow tree
#

id say look up some stuff in bio and chem, new articles, jobs etc

#

see what makes you O.O

opaque igloo
#

I mean there is a lot of scope in biomed but you don't know how long will it take to actually develop something new

shadow tree
#

research takes time and money

slow depot
#

what exactly do u do in r&d

shadow tree
#

and you need to be willing to do a masters min

opaque igloo
#

yeah

#

so long an boring

#

but that depends

shadow tree
#

not necessarily

slow depot
#

hahahaha

shadow tree
#

for example im going into BSc phy n math next year

slow depot
#

waaaaaaa

#

how long is it gonna takw

#

*e

shadow tree
#

3 yrs bachelors

opaque igloo
#

@shadow tree How old are you? if you don't mind me asking

shadow tree
#

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ 17

#

why bro? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

slow depot
#

wait what

#

ur doing bachelors at 17

#

what the ----

shadow tree
#

i'll be 18 when i join

opaque igloo
#

she has high intellect

shadow tree
#

but ik ppl who have

marsh dagger
#

i'm doing bachelors at 17

shadow tree
#

exactly

opaque igloo
#

How though?

#

I am confused

shadow tree
#

how do you habe such creepy timing tho

slow depot
#

so basically im talking to prodigies now

opaque igloo
#

I mean I will join uni when I am 18

shadow tree
#

@marsh dagger is the prodigy here not me

opaque igloo
#

but how did he do that in 17 years?

shadow tree
#

sometimes you join school early

#

cuz of the birth month

#

happens all the time

opaque igloo
#

I joined school late

#

I guess

slow depot
#

idek why i joined sch early tho ahahaha

opaque igloo
#

or on time

marsh dagger
#

@opaque igloo i skipped a grade

opaque igloo
#

ahh

#

intellect

marsh dagger
#

from 2nd i went to 4th

shadow tree
#

or that for the smart kids

opaque igloo
#

power move

shadow tree
#

i was given the option to

slow depot
#

u can keep up?

opaque igloo
#

yeah obvio

#

that is why he is in uni now

marsh dagger
#

well it's been a long long time

#

and i've been alright

#

so yea

shadow tree
#

at that age its not hard

opaque igloo
#

yeah

#

cuz it is just the basics

shadow tree
#

but n e ways @slow depot basically find sth in science that figuratively turns you on

#

and work on that

opaque igloo
#

lol

#

'figuratively'

marsh dagger
#

lmao

slow depot
#

@shadow tree sexual innuendo hmmm ๐Ÿ˜‰

opaque igloo
#

lol

#

why did you tag ur self

#

oh nvm

slow depot
#

name starts with m too

#

u saw ntg

marsh dagger
#

where did you get that profile pic from @slow depot ?

#

asking for a friend

opaque igloo
#

yeah I saw ntg.

#

who is ntg

shadow tree
#

a friend

#

where are you planning to go to uni for btw @slow depot

opaque igloo
#

I shall send my list

slow depot
#

uh havent planned tht yet hahaha

opaque igloo
#

uni list

#

I was talking about

marsh dagger
#

hit list

slow depot
#

@opaque igloo no list in sight

opaque igloo

cuz I have not shared it lol

#

Someone might copy

slow depot
#

..

#

why would they wanna copy

opaque igloo

@slow depot

#

The US universities are subject to change

shadow tree

damn organized boi

opaque igloo
#

depending on my SAT score

slow depot
#

@shadow tree indeed

#

@opaque igloo ur aiming for scholarship?

opaque igloo
#

yeah obviously

slow depot
#

hahaha

#

how many subjects u taking in IB

#

did i alr ask tht

opaque igloo
#

6

slow depot
#

no rite

#

o wow

#

thts a lot

#

which ones

shadow tree
#

why are you taking AL phy tho? if you said you hate it so much?

#

trust me 4 AL isnt fun ;-;

slow depot
#

bcz like i said, i might be interested in engineering although chances are almost 0

#

if i take 3 sci i have wider range of career

opaque igloo
#

Phy HL
Chem HL
Business HL
English Lang lit SL
Math AA SL
Hindi SL

#

there you go

slow depot
#

oh damn

opaque igloo
#

ye

#

too much work

shadow tree
#

true

#

thats why i did all 4 too

#

either way dont drop math

#

you'll hate A2 phy if you do

#

and in a general sense, math is just much more helpful in other fields as well

opaque igloo
#

lol math is compulsory in IB

slow depot
#

how exactly is math helpful

#

lmao

opaque igloo
#

Math is everywhere

marsh dagger
#

almost everything needs some kind of maths

slow depot

๐Ÿ˜ข

#

convo dieded

marsh dagger

opaque igloo
#

Math ruined everything

slow depot
#

haih

frozen swan
#

Seriously tho

#

Do take maths

#

What we perceive as normal bio/chem needs plenty of stats

#

And the abnormal ones needs plenty of hardcore maths

#

I did some stuff on computational chemistry on my own as a part of my PS, and inside the algorithms was a shiteload of multivariate calculus

tiny ridge
#

@frozen swan r u doing a degree in math +chem?

frozen swan
#

nope

#

pure chem

tiny ridge
#

Ohk

#

Anyone here dng math + chem?

void fiber
#

Guys Iโ€™m doing a double major
Banking and finance + accounting
Accounting +business law and tax
Business law + banking and finance

#

Which one would be the best option

frozen swan
#

my default questions to people who are choosing their majors

#
  1. what do you want to achieve in the future?
  2. what are the future outlooks in that field?
  3. are you sure that you want to progress along the said outlooks?
#

the key point is not what others want, it's what do you want

shadow tree
#

Are you interested in law? And think about where you'll practice vs study

#

Might affect your decision

wet dune
#

@void fiber I'm doing cojoint too in business and law. I'm not sure if it's going to be a good time or not, but we will find it out lmao. Im mainly using law for my own business so I dont have to pay for lawyers

polar copper

Hey guys, so I'm having my interview with Imperial College London on Skype today, and I would like to request for advice on what I should prepare stuff like that. My course is Electrical and electronic engineering and this is my first ever interview, so I'm nervous as hell ๐Ÿ˜…

shadow tree
#

Ooooohhh damn

#

@frozen swan ^^

rose veldt
#

@slow widget just calm yourself down, have a glass of water before hand, take deep breaths if you get nervous, and stuff like that

#

i mean i havent been in an interview before either, but i have done a lot of public speaking, and nerves play a big part in both

#

since it's on skype, just think of it as an online tutor or something.

#

good luck ๐Ÿ™‚

slow widget
#

@rose veldt hey, thanks for the advice and good to know that you are familiar with public speaking! (I have never done anything like that) I have never done online tutoring either but I believe it should be less stressful as it's online rather than face to face

frozen swan
#

ah

#

huh

#

a good friend of mine also did a skype interview for IC to read triple E

#
  1. the interviewer will ask questions related to your ps
#
  1. the interviewer will ask you why do you applied to imperial
#
  1. at the end of the interview, the interviewer will tell you: if you have any questions about the course or imperial etc etc, don't ask them a question. just say: I don't have anything to ask, thank you
#

triple E interviews tend to go on the mathematical side

#

they can ask you curve sketching

#

not the further maths curve sketching, but other things like y = (e^x)sinx, y = (sinx)/x, y = e^(sinx) etc etc

#

they may ask you integration, familiarise yourself with odd and even functions

#

something like: odd * odd = even

#

odd * even = odd
even * even = even

#

if you cannot memorise this, the concept of odd and even functions originated from Taylor expansions

#

derive those three concepts from there

#

@slow widget

slow widget
#

Oh great, I haven't touched those topics in agess

#

What if I just memorized it and then explained it to them qualitatively?

frozen swan
#

odd and even functions as a concept is waaay below fm level

#

the focus is on applying them

slow widget
#

Was your friend asked any questions on physics?

slow widget
#
  1. at the end of the interview, the interviewer will tell you: if you have any questions about the course or imperial etc etc, don't ask them a question. just say: I don't have anything to ask, thank you
    @frozen swan for this, why is it no suggested that I ask them a question?
frozen swan
#

because the interviewers want to finish the interviews off asap and they are fing annoyed by people

#

really

#

no joking

#

I got a rejection letter from IC because of two reasons

#
  1. I was flexing way too much during the interview
#
  1. I flexed way out of the interviewer's liking at the end by asking them a very hard question
#

during my last interview at Oxford

#

it's 1 pm

#

I was hungry, the interviewers were also hungry

#

all that was in my mind is to finish this off and to have lunch in a nearby french restaurant

#

and the same is with the interviewers

marsh dagger
#

ironically, this is the opposite of the advice given for job interviews

#

there, asking a question or two makes it look like you actually give a shit

frozen swan
#

uni interviews used to be like that

#

but there's a rule change in 2020

marsh dagger
#

which is?

frozen swan
#

actually, there are several

#

the oxbridge interview question database changed

#

you used to be able to ask questions to show your passion about the subject

#

now, nope

marsh dagger
#

ah fair

#

strikes me as kinda shitty, but eh you do what you have to do

frozen swan
#

I thought it's only the chemistry department that changed their question database after 20 years

#

but I was mistaken after asking a few classmates

marsh dagger
#

it's 2020, there has to be change somewhere lol

#

world has come a loong way

frozen swan
#

indeed

#

they now emphasise a lot more on maths

marsh dagger
#

i see

maths is of the PepeHands

I was supposed to be interviewed 30 mins ago but I didn't receive any calls or notification on my skype acc wtah

and i couldn't find a follow up email after i had booked my interview slot\

#

bruhh

shadow tree
#

Email themmm

frozen swan
#

ah

#

this year IC has a lot of issues going on with their interviews

#

a guy who applied to design engineering

#

the interviewer skype called him, but he didn't receive a skype notif

#

the interviewer tried calling him several times, still no notifs

#

the interviewer got mad

#

and [the interviewer] discovered that [the interviewer] himself has typed the wrong skype number

#

so, the interviewer told him to skype him instead

#

interviewer received zero notifs

#

interviewer got mad again

#

and the interviewer himself discovered that his skype settings was put on as no notifs

#

end result: change in interview date

slow widget
#

Oh I was expecting a worse ending ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

INTERVIEWER GOT MAD AT HIMSELF

#

Yep, I've done that Mushu, just waiting for their reply

#

I believe it's lunchtime over there rn

that would be pricey haha

We use a cheap VoIP๐Ÿ˜‚

slow widget
#

well turns out they didn't receive my booking and therefore my interview has been postponed for 11march

which makes it closer to my mocks, great, but it also allows me to revise those pesky maths and physics concepts that might come up in the interview

but i literally spent the whole day today researching so my entire day was wasted ๐Ÿ™

@jagged marlin i feel you :(( but it's okay to not know what you want to do in life. we're humans, we change and develop our outlook on things as we grow older. you're still young, and it's okay if you don't have a clear road ahead of you.

i need help

#

so basically i want to apply for computer science after my AS levels

but i have little to no experience in coding as far as school is concerned

#

im pretty decent at physics and maths tho

#

so my question is, even with a lack of coding experience, would universities still consider my applications?

marsh dagger

@rose veldt pretty much every university computer science course assumes no previous knowledge

so yes they defo will

rose veldt
#

@marsh dagger I know I've asked you about 50 questions already, and I'm sorry, but is it true you need a fuckton of ram to do heavy programming

marsh dagger
#

@rose veldt depends on what you consider heavy

rose veldt
#

what's the standard?

#

I mean

#

let's say you're making an application

#

Like a

#

video game

#

for instance

marsh dagger
#

if you're making a video game then yes you need lots of ram

rose veldt
#

not something crazy just an arcade style game

marsh dagger
#

if you use a framework like unity you need at least 8

#

16 is best

rose veldt
#

ah

#

thanks

#

and sorry again

marsh dagger
#

no problem at all man dw

trail owl
#

@rose veldt I presume that by 'arcade style game', you're looking at either 2D/pixel-style games. I'm not an expert but adding onto what Korthi said, while there are a lot of exceptions, in general, gaming is single thread intensive on the CPU side, and all parallel task are offloaded to the GPU so you might want to look into the processor and GPU side a bit more as well. :D

rose veldt
#

@tepid sequoia ever considered Comp. Engineering?

#

or just engineering in general

tepid sequoia
#

@rose veldt I'm really interested in STEM

#

but I'm not the most keen about physics neither coding

rose veldt
#

how about a maths degree?

violet umbra
#

are you keen in building or creating stuff?

rose veldt
#

since you said you like math

tepid sequoia
#

@violet umbra like design? not particularly

#

@rose veldt yes, that's an option

#

but my parents don't want me to do pure math as they find it doesn't have as much value as the other stem subjects

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

violet umbra
#

really?

rose veldt
#

math has lots of value but ok

#

uh

#

how about a combined degree?

shadow tree
#

What about actuarial science

#

I shalt elaborate after lunch

rose veldt
#

go have lunch quicker

frozen swan
#

they find it doesn't have as much value

#

seriously?

#

maths --> investment banking --> 600k USD per year

#

I think that's convincing enough

rose veldt
#

Auri do be informed gurl

frozen swan
#

I know someone from trinity college cambridge who did maths

rose veldt
#

o

frozen swan
#

she went into investment banking in the netherlands

#

600k USD per year

#

if I am actually great at maths

#

I would do a pure maths degree

no matter what people say

a pure maths degree is the best thing

Hi so I just finished my IGCSE (about to). So in the future i want to have a career in Computer Science specifically Machine learning engineering (AI). Does anyone have a idea which subjects should I take in AS and A levels.

physics and math is a must

most unis will also ask for chemistry

and if your school offers computer science, do that

I requested for interview feedback from imperial but all they sent me was this

yeah that is what most of the unis send

Is it just because of the covid 19 situation that they got overwhelming requests or is it always like this

I asked for feedback

they just told me others have a better application

Wait so there are competitions wher you just give your application for scholarship?

@peak wasp

#

My friend is actually interested in Zoology

#

and he did not take Physics

#

Dentistry
Botany

#

as well

shadow tree
#

Well at IG you might need it

#

Just as a basic requirement

rose veldt
#

thas what i meant yeah

frozen swan
#

uh

#

biomed needs physics

#

it's not a strict requirement that you need AL physics

#

but biomed is intertwined with engineering

#

I'll leave the decision up to you

opaque igloo
#

it is ez physics

#

does not cover much

shadow tree
#

Depends which part of biomed you wanna go into

#

Whether it's easy or not, requirements are requirements

Hey

#

I have a few questions

#

so im done with my igcse

#

and im starting the ib diploma soon and need to get my choices down

#

I want to study engineering at university

#

I am certain I want to take English sl, spanish sl, physics hl, maths hl, econ hl. regardings the 6th option im undecided between taking history sl or theater sl

#

any suggestions?

sour dew
#

Chem HL @soft nova

#

or SL idk

#

depends on what kind of engineering

#

I don't really think either history SL or theater SL are relevant to an engineering degree so you should probably just take whichever one you know for sure you are A) GOOD at and B)can get the higher grade

#

Definetly do Chemistry

#

It will be very, very useful in uni

sour dew
#

Bro no response? What happened @soft nova

soft nova
#

Sorry, just saw the message now

#

I thought you'd tag me right away

#

Hmm, it's that at my school they don't let us take 2 sciences so :/

rose veldt
#

whaaat

#

thas crazy

sour dew
#

Hold up

#

How can they stop you from taking 2 sciences

#

Already IB has this annoying but somewhat reasonable limitation of not more than 2...

#

@soft nova you have to talk about this or something man... At my school they said if you showed a university where you wanted to go that required 3 sciences, they would allow you to take it. Ofc that didn't work out in my case and it was too risky not to take a normal diploma

But idk, maybe you can try this and see if there's a course and prospective uni which requires 2 sciences and dispute this with your school

soft nova
#

Ok

#

I'll look into it

#

I'm interested in universities in Europe

#

Want to apply to the UK and stuff so I'll look into that

elfin pendant
#

Umm hello im new here

#

So our school is offering chemistry or comp sci as its ib subjects

#

But they are in the same bloc so i cannot pick both, which is a bummer

#

Ive been reading the channel for a while now and ive heard that many unis want chemistry or comp sci

#

So which should i pick?

rose veldt
#

@elfin pendant what do you want to study for uni?

elfin pendant
#

I want to go to some finance schoola

#

Do business or smth

rose veldt
#

for finance I believe they're both not requirements

#

But universities do ask for a science in order to get admission generally

#

So go for chem since it's broader

shadow tree
#

depends what kinda businesses you wanna go into?

rose veldt
#

^ that too

shadow tree
#

if you say tech then CS

elfin pendant
#

but is it ok if i already have physics SL as one of my options?

rose veldt
#

I don't do IB so idk much

shadow tree
#

wdym is it okay?

elfin pendant
#

Finance director or accounting or analysts idk

rose veldt
#

then you'll be dealing with computers

shadow tree
#

hmmm you have those reqs right?

#

yeah CS would be better

elfin pendant
#

Because @rose veldt said unis wanted sciences

rose veldt
#

So CS will be more beneficial in that case

#

not all of them, just some

elfin pendant
#

Alright thank you so much guys

#

Have a good night

#

Or day

rose veldt
#

you too :)

sour dew
#

Go for CS if you're absolutely certain about the finance/accounting/analyst part,
Chem if you think your interests might change. Opens more doors for you as it's also a more common requirement

#

hey do you guys have any videos that can help with college application like how to apply and all

shadow tree
#

is there a specific country you're applying to?

burnt rapids
#

#

or any helpful websites

earnest vine
#

Wasn't originally planning on giving SATs but since I am free and planning for turkey, thought I should

#

at this point what you guys recommend

rose veldt
#

@earnest vine check the uni requirements to see if they require I

#

it*

earnest vine
#

I am doing it for scholarship

rose veldt
#

then give it a shot once the situation clears

#

in the meantime use the khan academy practice tests to see if you're prepared

Hi, I am still 15, and I have a major interest in ICT and eithcal hacking, I need advice on if I should pursue it or choose another line instead

violet umbra
#

if you have an interest in ethical hacking then try researching about it a little and see what you do in the job into depth besides hacking legally

#

Just say what all you know about ethical hacking right now

sudden zealot
#

i am still learning, and i have learnt a lot, firstly i know subnetting, i know basic scripting with bash, i have finished bandit(overthewire),i know how to perform basic DDOS attacks, i know python,i can crack WPA,WPS,WPA2, and still learning many more things like active directory and i am also trying CTF's

#

basically, the job is about finding vulnerabilities in a system or a server, then patching it and letting the blue team to know what you did, and make a report for it

#

PS: thats not all i know, but yeah most of it, typing this in the early morning and i am actaully sleepy

violet umbra
#

Well if you're that into it then continue it

#

I know ethical hacking and it was one of the jobs I thought to take during my early days

#

one's carrer is dependant on their interests in it
