[heavy skiff]

is it me

the only guy who doesn't know which univ to go into

[rare vault]

No it is literally everyone

Mostly everyone

[rare vault]

Also are you AS level or A2

[cedar hollow]

No.

Move on

Don't waste a year

[mellow venture]

If ur uni doesnt accept it do so

[heavy skiff]

A2 now

[elder needle]

Can someone Please help me find a English based program in clinical psychology/Neuropsychology in Austria/Germany at a public university?

[rare vault]

so you will give exams at 2023 june

coz if thats the case then fear not

coz no one in my school has chosen his uni too

it is literally a nightmare tbh

[cedar hollow]

Go through all german public uni websites

[heavy skiff]

yee

[elder needle]

Send the link

[cedar hollow]

No go search

[elder needle]

There are hundreds of universities out there. How can I like go through each and everyone of it?

[cedar hollow]

First make like general search to see which unis offer courses in eng lang, then see if they offer your field of interest...

[strange spindle]

You're not going to get anywhere if you fail to do basic research

[mellow venture]

Brother pls can u find me comp sci course bachelors

[strange spindle]

bro it's too hard 😔

[mellow venture]

Brother

Are you stupid

[strange spindle]

using google vary much difficulty

[mellow venture]

Go on gogle

[strange spindle]

😱

[mellow venture]

Blaady bastard

[strange spindle]

you bloody

fuck you

[nimble kelp]

[nimble kelp]

i didnt even choose a major

[mellow venture]

Then choose one

[nimble kelp]

u dont here, they give u a set of majors in a set no. of unis and u fight others for the program u want

smh Olympics

anyways u need to choore more than one major to inc ur chances

[rare vault]

Which country is this

[nimble kelp]

oman

[knotty mortar]

make a table on word or exel with the list of unis which have the course you want and add to that other details like the requirements and fees

[severe heart]

^ i made an excel list at first then i also made a quick word doc with extra links and pics and infos for unis im more interested in , better to do in word to put useful links and stuff

[mellow venture]

Yes

[mellow venture]

Look at the uni u wanna apply to

See the requirements

Do that

Theres no exact metric on what a university prefers

Except better grades

[safe owl]

Gave +1 rep to hayzy 無料#2686

[void glen]

predicted in most cases

because many of the deadlines have passed by the time your A2 results come

[void glen]

yes

but some unis may have deadlines after that so check their websites

Anyone studying in Canada rn ???

I need some suggestions

[graceful hollow]

@tranquil summit Hope you're doing well. I've got a question regarding UoM and My Manchester. I've got the whole username and password but fsr I can't "finish" registration And there's nothing on the To do list. For now I've sent an email to the UoM guys for more info. Sooo any insight that you could ?

Give*

[tranquil summit]

Heyy, I don't completely remember what I did, I can dig up the emails I had after I eat if you want

DM me

[graceful hollow]

Oh wait yeah you're like a third year or something

[tranquil summit]

Yeah lol

[graceful hollow]

But yeah I'm still confused, I have the account, but I don't have the account and I have the University ID but I don't Have the University ID

https://tenor.com/view/calculating-puzzled-math-confused-confused-look-gif-14677181

BUT I'd like to ask, when DID you get the university ID?

[tranquil summit]

Like physically?

[graceful hollow]

No like online

The steps told me that I'd see it on the student centre located in Tools on My Manchester

But it's empty🗿

Currently outside will send the deets along with emails when I get back

[tranquil summit]

Uhhhhhh I do not remember

Oki yeah

[waxen elm]

hi guys, anyone looking into or going to new york university Abu Dhabi? pls message me. its a lil urgent.

[rare vault]

Guys anyone who lives inside Germany or is planning to move over there??

[cedar hollow]

Why

[forest laurel]

can anyone explain me how can i get scholarships for studying abroad

[compact sorrel]

im looking for uni there atm

[forest laurel]

u know german language ?

[compact sorrel]

no

ill study it there

first year

[rare vault]

no

[rare vault]

ok so are there any free english unis

where i can get a comp sci bachelors

[compact sorrel]

All public uni r for free

Not all majors r in English tho

I think u can get 1 german year, after that you’ll study the major u want

[rare vault]

which uni

i cant study in german

i can easily learn how to speak german in like 6 months for local conversation but studying would be imposible

[compact sorrel]

search on google ion know

[cyan palm]

would canadian universities care about A level further mathematics? Im not quite sure what transfer credits area but does this mean that the extra knowledge delivered by this subjects is not taken into account by the admission officers?

waterloo btw^

[static shore]

I'm looking to study in England. Any good unis in /close to Sheffield?

[hearty robin]

there's

the University of Sheffiled

University of York

....

what u hoping to apply for...

[compact sorrel]

Do we take any offer if were an IGCSE student and planning to study in UK?

[hearty robin]

are u planning on applying with only IGCSE or planning to do A-levels as well

[compact sorrel]

i took AS and now A2

[hearty robin]

I don't quite understand your question can you rephrase it again

[compact sorrel]

will there be any financial offer if were an IGCSE student

[hearty robin]

you mean any scholarships or bursaries

??

for international students??

[compact sorrel]

um

not what i meant

[hearty robin]

can you tell me what you mean by financial offer?

[compact sorrel]

umm maybe like less tuition fees than those who r not an IGCSE student

[hearty robin]

international students in England pay x4 the amount of tuition fees than home students

you would be certainly paying more tuition fees than home students

[compact sorrel]

so they do not care abt our IGCSE certificate lmao

oke thanks

[hearty robin]

nope

they don't care

they assess your finance based on your fee status not based on what you got in IGCSE

[lean rock]

is diploma available in germany

for a business student

[cyan palm]

Improving my chances of getting in Waterloo/UBC
I'm 1.5 years away from graduating as an international student and have settled on studying in Canada. I'm looking to double major in Computer Science and Statistics and if possible take a minor in Finance/business related subject. Now what I have to offer doesn't seem sufficient to be honest due to the lack of extracurriculars. My question is what can I do to improve the chances of me getting in?
Grades: (Math -> CIE, Rest -> Edexcel)
A2: Math, Further Mathematics (do they even care about it?), Chemistry, Physics and Arabic (Projected for A* in all of them)
Extracurriculars:
4th degree blackbelt in Taekwondo
250 hours of community service (100 in a summer camp and 150 in teaching kids Taekwondo)
Looking to do a project which deals and relies on statistics (not performed)

[faint pulsar]

UBC will be easy

Further math doesnt matter for admission but ull get credits

[cyan palm]

nop further maths doesnt have transfer credits

[cyan palm]

no problem with my amount of extracurriculars?

and what about waterloo?>

[faint pulsar]

oh then no point in doing it

u can drop if u want

[faint pulsar]

ye its enough

but for waterloo u need cs related stuff

[cyan palm]

but wouldnt it be good for the interview to say that i self studied such and such

[faint pulsar]

idk

it doesnt matter tho

[cyan palm]

so no shot currently until i do smth related to CS?

i was thinking of taking A level CS but it has no transfer credits too

[faint pulsar]

yes that would count

as something CS related

maybe do some projects or an internship

[cyan palm]

internships are not available but what would i do for a project

i have 0 experience with coding and programming im looking to learn python in the next 2 years

since i will only have 2-3 A levels

[static shore]

@hearty robin I'm planning on doing psychology

[rare vault]

not necesarily

man be good at maths

and get good grades at cs too

[rare vault]

further maths will be useless tho

[rare vault]

that's fine tbh

coz all unis start from scratch

although some experience will only help you when you start

[rare vault]

You have more extracurriculars than me to be honest

I have none lmao

[cyan palm]

hmm wouldnt it be a good piece if i get into an interview? Like from example i can waffle my way about how it challenged me and taught me to strive for the things i want etc etc

yk bs my way through it

but i actually want to learn some programming what would you recommend? Taking A level computer science or solely focusing on a programming language like python or a mixture of both/

[cyan palm]

i dont get why extra curriculars are important tbh

[rare vault]

See brother in Europe and North America the the schools actually have a priority on giving extracurriculars even if their education is subpar

This encourages their students to be brave and bold Panthers able to speak up in stressful conditions an in front of a big crowd

[cyan palm]

EXACTLY they have to realize that not all countries offer 60 things that are accessible

[rare vault]

This basically ensures that if they were ever big to become famous then they should not be able to stress out if they ever need to give out a speech or come out in public

[rare vault]

Yeah I know that's where the problem comes

[cyan palm]

extracurriculars offered here are not much compared to ones offered by singapore for example or other countries ;-;

[rare vault]

In my school we have no extracurriculars at all

We used to have like two to three extra curriculars but that was only during the non code time an that literally means we have not had an extra curricular activities since the last three years

And I can't just go to university and say oh look I did something great in grade 5

Because they would not care what I did when I was a 10 year old

They would literally require something which is done in like the past like 1 to 3 years and I have nothing in that

[cyan palm]

istg fighting a losing battle

[rare vault]

Where are you to be honest right now

[cyan palm]

? wdym

where do i live?

[rare vault]

Also bro extracurriculars are just like a plus they aren't like a requirement to be honest

[rare vault]

yep

[cyan palm]

Jordan

[rare vault]

ah we are close by

XD

KSA here

[cyan palm]

yeah but tbh i cant really compete to a singaporean or chinese where the offered education is 60 times better and offer harder courses so extra curriculars are kinda needed

they also have math competitions and other stuff there

[rare vault]

See bro if school is just like at least above the middle middle of the pack in your own country then you should be good with foreign universities

Because above the middle of the pack the education is basically decent enough that you wouldn't be like a complete stranger

[cyan palm]

I wish the Euclidean math competition is offered here

[rare vault]

what the hell is that man

Anyhow my point is that don't stress out over extracurriculars

[cyan palm]

yeah but Waterloo is kinda the top uni in canada and i would expect top tier students would apply there

ight tysm

[rare vault]

Just get excellent grades and then use these as the basis to get your admission in Waterloo

[cyan palm]

.

[rare vault]

To be honest most top tier students usually don't have enough finances to apply to Waterloo

[cyan palm]

yeah was thinking of taking a loan

[rare vault]

Like in my whole school there would only be like three to four boys out of the full 24 student class who can even afford the top end universities

[rare vault]

Yeah that's the only way you can get inside that university because the fees are actually really high

[cyan palm]

stupid high*

[rare vault]

Because the problem with the undergrads is that you don't get major scholarships

[rare vault]

To be honest this is actually a major plus for you becausr since most of the people won't be applying to this university just because of that massive fees you'll actually have less international applicants to worry about

[cyan palm]

while canadians pay 1/5th of the price

[rare vault]

ikr

[cyan palm]

anyways i still have 2 years to plan if i can even get a loan and if it will pay out

[rare vault]

good luck bro i think with good grades in just maths you will be fien for waterloo

also you are doing cs

so dont choke that

and you will be fine

[cyan palm]

yeah defo gonna start doing CS

[rare vault]

XD

[cyan palm]

tysm bro gl with everything

[rare vault]

Also since I'm also going into computer science I can help you with one thing is that you should not focus a lot on programming

[cyan palm]

i took ICT in igcse

[rare vault]

Focus on like how the code works and how the algorithms are actually designed

[rare vault]

same here man

[cyan palm]

will keep that in mind thanks a lot

[rare vault]

i took cs in as levels

[safe owl]

Gave +1 rep to KINGSLAYER-1#7588

[cyan palm]

Ohhh how did you do

[rare vault]

outta nowhere i was like i will take as level cs XD

[rare vault]

oh it was so good

easier then maths tho

[cyan palm]

school doesnt offer CS ;-;

so im going to have to self study it

[rare vault]

maths is so shiz
i have to learn alot

[rare vault]

Oh don't worry about it I finished all of the theory part in like one month right before the exam

Don't ask me how and why our school was not able to complete the theory part at all before the exams

[cyan palm]

sadge

[rare vault]

Let's just say we had a misfortune during the cs theory learning part

tho it was all easy

[cyan palm]

should i print the book?

[rare vault]

Read computer science stuff from the hodder book

[rare vault]

ebook will be sufficient

[cyan palm]

does it go through the explanations

[rare vault]

yes

atleast they were good enough for me

and then just see the as level pp

[cyan palm]

you finished all of your A levels?

[faint pulsar]

yep

u need to either take CS or have CS related experience

[rare vault]

Nope just finished as levels this June

Next June a2

[cyan palm]

not a requirement and doesnt account for any college credits

[faint pulsar]

ik but u need CS experience for waterloo CS its v important

[cyan palm]

well i'll just do an A level in CS ig

[faint pulsar]

• at least half of the ppl at waterloo have a lot of experience in HS

like internships and all

[cyan palm]

yeah well not available sadly hopefully some python courses and A level CS will cut it

[faint pulsar]

ye

[compact sorrel]

what school r u in

[cyan palm]

Won't give that info soz

[compact sorrel]

damn ok lol

[cyan palm]

Wbu

[compact sorrel]

im not gonna tell u if ur not gonna answer me first bruh lol😭 😭

[cyan palm]

Who knows maybe if you answer I'll answer

[compact sorrel]

i wont stalk u dw💀

just wanna know lol

[rare vault]

just talk cities

ez

not exact school names

[rare vault]

HS being???

also are you currently in waterloo or you know someone from there
also where do you live

[faint pulsar]

oh high school

[faint pulsar]

ye ik ppl who're going there

[rare vault]

Well to be honest this does not show that you need to have computer science experience to study a computer science course

Becausr if you didn't know if you do take computer science in A levels

All you're basically doing is preparing yourself early for the first year in your university

Because if you didn't know more than 50% of the computer science students studying any computer science scores do not have any experience before going into that course

This is not because they don't want to have such experience

It is just because most schools do not offer programming experience in high school

so you cant have such experiance unless you really go out of your way to study

hence the first year is mostly a run down of the basics

[faint pulsar]

Bruh u have to do it on ur own lol

wloo is very very competitive

only good grades arent enough to get in

it's sorta like the US universities

u need relevant experience in whatever u applied for

[forest laurel]

can anyone tell me what result i need for scholarships

for studying in canada

[compact sorrel]

i dont think they look at grades uni canada

it depends on ur marks in uni

[rare vault]

well that's weird

if they expect the students to know everything

then why have a basic programming course in the first year

[faint pulsar]

not know everything they just want u have some experience

[faint pulsar]

competition

nothing they can do

they have to filter ppl out

[rare vault]

I think that there wouldn't be a lot of international students applying for University of Waterloo

[faint pulsar]

everyone who applied has high grades

[rare vault]

The main reason I'm saying this is because of their fees

[faint pulsar]

nowadays theres a lot of competition

[rare vault]

Like the most important way that major universities filter out applicants is just by having insane tution fees

[rare vault]

local students yea ofcourse

[faint pulsar]

Even US universities have enormous fees they still have acceptance rates of like 8%

[rare vault]

but the international qouta i think should be less competetive

mostly coz there are better priced similar unis in canada

[faint pulsar]

see it depends on which program u do for waterloo

getting in for cs is hard

coz of competition

[faint pulsar]

waterloo is the best

for cs

[rare vault]

not really

u of t is better in that aspect

waterloo is second

[faint pulsar]

yup in terms of jobs

its the best

[rare vault]

in canada

[faint pulsar]

in general uoft is the best ye

cs specifically wloo is considered to be the best

[rare vault]

The only thing that Waterloo has that University of Toronto doesn't is a slightly better Co op programm

actually a much better co op system

but other than that the courses are identical [mostly] and the projects are actually more in U of T if i remember correctly

[faint pulsar]

oh idk

[rare vault]

By the way bro if you think getting into Waterloo is hard then getting into the University of Toronto is even harder in that aspect

XD

[faint pulsar]

oh

is it?

i got into Uoft

[rare vault]

to be honest you don't need the best university for bachelors in any country

[faint pulsar]

i didnt bother doing waterloo coz of the competition

[rare vault]

what you need to do is to get into a uni which is recognised as being good

and then just do side projects while you are at your uni to out compete those who are in a big uni

this will save your parents wallets and also help you as you will gain additional experiance by doing such projects

[rare vault]

oh thats really good

[rare vault]

which exact course tho?

[faint pulsar]

cs

st george campus

[rare vault]

1st year right?

[faint pulsar]

ye

not going tho

going to ualberta

[rare vault]

The next question I was gonna ask you is that were you able to get a scholarship because I cannot afford the tution fees of University of Toronto

XD

[faint pulsar]

scholarship is super hard to get

[upper shore]

Guys
What would be a good set of subjects for hopeful foregin uni scholarships in the field of comp science?

Just subjects and later sets
I was thinking Maths, Furthur Maths, Physics (requirement for local uni comp sci.) and Comp Sci

any other subjects that could be considered instead of this or is this the best option

I was thinking of Media Studies or Global Perspectives as other options

English Language was something I'd considered as well

[rare vault]

Maths is the only thing that is necessary

Rest of optional

Physics is only needed for electrical part of CS

Sorry to say but scholarships are a joke

They aren’t enough tbh

Don’t count on them for much help tbh

[rare vault]

You could replace physics with any other subject if you don’t wanna go into electrical or the engineering part of CS

[tranquil summit]

Also I doubt doing more A levels will be of help, do 3 or 4 and do well in them

Scholarships will probably be for the additional things or need based ones

[upper shore]

Alright, thank you both

[rare vault]

Man only maths is needed

Rest all is just for compliments

I just had interest in businesses so I took that

Otherwise I would have taken physics coz why not (I don’t even have any order choice other then chem which I don’t like)

[tranquil summit]

As a pure requirement yes

[rare vault]

Yep

[tranquil summit]

But unfortunately competition means you can't only satisfy the pure requirement

[rare vault]

Like complimentary subs only help

[rare vault]

Ofcrs

But it isn’t like you can’t get in with just maths

[tranquil summit]

Sure but they asked for scholarships

[tropic yew]

Do you guys use Textbooks for uni? especially for CS majors?

Is it necessary to buy them and bring to uni?

[burnt fox]

does anyone go to Queens or Kings? specifically medicine as i am tryna decide between them but idk

[waxen elm]

anyone doing med right now?

[burnt fox]

^^

what this dude said

i need help and fast

[deep granite]

Anyone going to METU(NCC) here?

[haughty perch]

Suggestions for universities to study BSc in Computer Science which has good financial aid schemes

[rare vault]

Ping me too if you get a reply

[shy lotus]

I'm a year 12/grade 11 student and I'm looking for universities right now. I've found out 2 which I found interesting Baku State University and Istanbul Bahçeşehir University. To all students who graduated from those universities mentioned, may I know your honest feedback and the qualifications do they require from a Cambridge curriculum student? (np if you ping me)

[upper shore]

https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/cambridge-advanced/cambridge-ipq/

Does the IPQ have any worth if I wanna go abroad to UK

[velvet fable]

hello guys i need some help

So i got accepted into a canadian uni and selected the courses got my visa and airplane ticket set

But unfortunately i couldnt meet their requirements for A2 levels

will they decline me and what are the chances

[mellow venture]

Email em

[velvet fable]

okayy but i am scared of them declining :((

any chances they will accept me

[mellow venture]

U have to send ur grades anyway

Unless the acceptance is unconditional

[velvet fable]

point yea

imma send it

[river estuary]

Are their any disadvantages of getting private in o levels like when u apply to uni do they prefer private Candida or the school one if they both have same grade

[tranquil summit]

As a private candidate you'll have to make sure you have someone to give you a letter of recommendation

[glossy rain]

Guys whats the chances of uoft and waterloo giving scholarship?

[rare vault]

What were the requirements tho

[rare vault]

Yo so they accept you and then they can reject if you don’t meet the A2 requirements

[mellow venture]

Thats how conditionals work

[rare vault]

So getting an admission on predicted A2s means nothing

If you don’t actually achieve those predicted grades

For A2

[rare vault]

Right?

[mellow venture]

It depends

[velvet fable]

All Bs

[velvet fable]

But they accepted me with my As grades and have my student enrolment confirmation:( so will they still decline me

[tranquil summit]

Does your offer letter say you will be accepted only upon receiving those grades

[velvet fable]

nope it says i am admitted and i even got courses registered for this fall

[mellow venture]

Then ur good

If the acceptance letter has no mention

Of any requirements

Then ur good

[velvet fable]

they just needed my a2 grades

they said this

The last paragraph is a bit sketchy but they also said i have been admitted

[tranquil summit]

Call them

They have to know your marks anyway

[velvet fable]

yeaa okkk

i am scared of getting declined:((

[ornate shard]

Hey guys, can anyone tell me how does the application for London school of Economics and Poli science work?

[rare vault]

what were your grades in AS

guys I want to go into CS but i got these results in AS level
A in CS, A in Maths, B in Business
are these grades good enough or should i retake Business AS

[faint pulsar]

Enough dw

One B wont harm much

[velvet fable]

All A

[rare vault]

bro i got AAB in AS level with B in business, A in maths and CS

should i redo Business for CS uni course?

[hearty robin]

Those are good grades well done

[velvet fable]

NO WAY MAN B wont do shit

just apply i can guarantee you will get accepted

the main pain in the arse is continuing this grade is A2 which i couldny

in A2"

[faint pulsar]

Sad did you meet the conditions tho

[rare vault]

Ahh makes sense

So just gotta remain consistent and good

[dawn forge]

will one A and two Bs get me to good uni?

and provide scholarship if any

?

[faint pulsar]

Yes but not a top ranked uni

[dawn forge]

what are some of the unis i can get to?

and what i need to get to top unis?

[velvet fable]

nooo :((

got a bit below from it

[faint pulsar]

Wait what

[faint pulsar]

Isn't the condition Bs tho

[faint pulsar]

What did you get

[velvet fable]

C's unfortunately

idk i am scared whats gonna happen

was a bit too much flying after As grades

regretting it big time

[faint pulsar]

Oh all Cs? Damn

[velvet fable]

mhm

[faint pulsar]

What is your plan now

[velvet fable]

I dont know man kinda in a middle of an ocean now

[faint pulsar]

Sad

[velvet fable]

Are canadian unis flexible in conditional offers idek

[faint pulsar]

Dw many universities accept CCC

[velvet fable]

Yes man lets see

[faint pulsar]

CCC is a common requirement

[faint pulsar]

Send the results and see

Should be fine coz CCC gets you transfer credit

[velvet fable]

Hopefully man :3 lets see what happens

[faint pulsar]

Wait what are your exact grades tho

The average has to be B

So even ABC could get you in

[velvet fable]

CCC

thats why i am worried

[dawn forge]

can anyone answer me pls?:/

[dawn forge]

.

[dawn forge]

.

with one A and 2 Bs

i want usa canada or europe

[faint pulsar]

Oh

[faint pulsar]

Canada you can get into most

Ualberta SFU Ucalgary etc

Europe also most except UK

They need CCC

US will be very hard even if you have top grades so avoid that imo

[dawn forge]

which countries for example?

[faint pulsar]

Netherlands Finland etc

Since you have your final AL results you can do Germany and Sweden also

[dawn forge]

are they good unis?

and another important thing is pr

i wanna setlle there

[faint pulsar]

Bro see

They are good but not top

With your grades top unis are sorta impossible

They need all As

I mean you can settle but it's not english speaking

[dawn forge]

is pr difficult to get in those countries?

[faint pulsar]

No

Same as any other country

[dawn forge]

ok

thanks for ur info

[faint pulsar]

If you wanna settle then do canada ig

English speaking and ez PR

[dawn forge]

yes

will try alberta

my first target

[faint pulsar]

Nice

I'm going there

Lol

[dawn forge]

how are ur results?

[cedar hollow]

got into my uni

[void glen]

@cedar hollow do you think I should take my original igcse and a level certificates with me to canada

[faint pulsar]

You won't get A level by then tho

[void glen]

AS

and the statement of results for A2

[faint pulsar]

Ye

Im taking them

Just in case

[mellow venture]

Carry all ur official docs

[cedar hollow]

No

No need

You might lose them or something

There's no need for IGCSE

And no need for A level once you are unconditional accepted

The only official documents I have are passport and birth certificate, nothing related to high school academics

I just have soft copies of everything

[tranquil summit]

I found that a summer job asked me to bring them in

But maybe the UK is different

[cedar hollow]

yea I mean if you won't lose them or damage them (saying this cause ur prob gonna be living and travelling alone in a country in a another continent for the first time) then upto you honestly

I've never seen/heard of any job here asking for hs certificates so 99% you won't need but if u wanna go for it

[rare vault]

Yea but you can show them scans

[tranquil summit]

They specifically asked to bring the hard copies

I had submitted scans during the interview process

[rare vault]

Damn

What if I leave them back in my home country

[tranquil summit]

But yeah in that case ask your parents to post it

[rare vault]

Oh yes forgot about that

But what’s with the summer job not accepting scans

[tranquil summit]

It's not that they don't lol

They asked for scans during the interview

And after I got accepted they said they wanted to see the original on the first day

I didn't take the job for other reasons but yeah

[rare vault]

Makes sense

[faint pulsar]

You're in the UK tho they ask about A levels for internships there i think but they don't in canada at all

[tranquil summit]

Yeah that's fair enough

[hollow hornet]

Will going private affect my uni admissions?

[tranquil summit]

As long as you can get a letter of recommendation it won't

[rocky seal]

how much does the letter of recommendation matter when applying in the uk

i’m applying for fashion but i didn’t take art in a levels. so i’m asking my business teacher for the letter of recommendation

will this affect my application?

[hearty robin]

What other subjects do you do

[rocky seal]

economics IT history and business

[hearty robin]

The most relevant subject is IT

That you take

I think you should ask your IT teacher for a letter of recommendation instead of your business teacher

[hearty robin]

You need a portfolio I swear

[rocky seal]

yeah i am working on my portfolio rn

[hearty robin]

It would be good if you took Art & Design A-levels though

[rocky seal]

i had decided to study history first but by the end of AS my mind changed so it’s too late to take arts now

[hearty robin]

Same bro

[forest laurel]

name some good unis for studying microbiology

[mystic aurora]

I am going to retake my physics A2 level exam in may june series exam next year. Will I still able to apply for HKUST in time? Since the main round deadline is 23 January 2023. I wish I could apply for HKUST in September intake. Anyone can help me? Appreciate a lot

[fallow widget]

guys, for data science, do u need to take CS in a-levels an dhave bg in coding before applying to unis? or do unis teach coding from the start

[faint pulsar]

Yes but it will be conditional

AAA I think

for admission

and 4A* for scholarship

[mystic aurora]

only 4 A* can get scholarship?

[faint pulsar]

yes

[mystic aurora]

what if i taking 3 subjects?

[faint pulsar]

then no scholarship

u need 4

for full scholarship

3A* will get u for one year

it might even increase to 5A* next yr idk

[mystic aurora]

If i want to apply, what should i apply with? My forecast result?

[faint pulsar]

yes

[mystic aurora]

But forecast result for may/june series exam usually going to be given by lecturer in april. Wouldnt it be to late?

[faint pulsar]

ask now

based off AS level results

[mystic aurora]

okay thanks a lot for your explanation 👍

appreciate a loy

[forest laurel]

can anyone explain me how can i get scholarships

[rare vault]

Yes they start from scratch

[rare vault]

Hkust being??

[round jacinth]

that 1 in hong kong i think

iirc

[round jacinth]

unis teach programming languages usually

but i'd say better to have experience from earlier

[fallow widget]

so wud u suggest taking CS in a-levels

[mellow venture]

No

CS A2 is very unnecessary

Unless ur applying to waterloo and u need some experience

[round jacinth]

wtf bro you gotta apply waterloo best itw

[round jacinth]

tbh idk much about what's in a levels cs lol

but

it's not needed

you can programme wtv yourself

[rare vault]

Better but not needed

Many of my friends whom ik take CS

Didn’t know about code before going for bachelors

And handled CS properly

So I can say that even if you go blindly you won’t face much issues unless you’re bad at studies

[rare vault]

Even Waterloo doesn’t need CS

It needs maths only doesn’t it @mellow venture

[mellow venture]

@faint pulsar doesnt waterloo ask for “CS experience”

[mellow venture]

No self learn CS

A2 CS has no reflection of uni CS

[rare vault]

Bruh no need

[rare vault]

No man A2 is just advanced practice

[mellow venture]

Well im not sure about waterloo

U can ignore that part

[rare vault]

It just teaches you shiz before you need it

[mellow venture]

But i do still stand by my opinion of a2 CS

[mellow venture]

Have u taken a2 CS?

[rare vault]

Basically all that you will learn in a levels is basically uni prep

[mellow venture]

And have u looked at university CS

[rare vault]

As yes

[mellow venture]

No in the case of a2

Its not useful

Its awful

[rare vault]

But still it teaches usefull things

[mellow venture]

They teach u really bad

Inefficient implementations

[rare vault]

Oh that’s another thing

[mellow venture]

Id love to hear whats useful

U can easily learn the useful stuff

In a week

[rare vault]

Even many unis are questionable in this regard

[mellow venture]

I havent seen anything as bad as cie

They took it to the most oblivious level

[rare vault]

That’s a big statement boi
You do need to know how many different structures are

And how to build em

[mellow venture]

They use OOP to define nodes in a linked list

[rare vault]

Lmao

[mellow venture]

And then array indexes as pointers????

[rare vault]

The code is actually wrong

Even at as level

It doesn’t work

[mellow venture]

Yeah a pure week dedicated to DS & A

Yeah the coursebook has fault code for linked list add node

Jus a heads up

[rare vault]

Our peers in grade 12 comically pointed out to us how much of the A2 code is inefficient or useless

[rare vault]

Ikr

We couldn’t believe it

But still

[mellow venture]

This is why im saying a2 cs isnt worth it

[rare vault]

I wouldn’t say it is almost entirely useless

[mellow venture]

It isnt

[rare vault]

But alone as isn’t enough

[mellow venture]

However theres clearly better options

[rare vault]

So might as well take CS

[rare vault]

What chem

[mellow venture]

Jus take it in IGCSE

[rare vault]

Chem is bs

[mellow venture]

Ive noticed IGCSE to AS was fairly 1:1

[rare vault]

Already past that point to even bother taking CS now

[rare vault]

Damn idk coz I jumped onto CS from igcse without any background

[mellow venture]

Further maths if ur ballsy

[rare vault]

Like I didn’t take CS in igcse

[mellow venture]

Edexcel has Discrete Math

[rare vault]

Further maths is hard

[mellow venture]

Depends on ur subjs

[rare vault]

Might as well take CS

[mellow venture]

Id say even a commerce subj like

Eco could be not bad

[rare vault]

I take CS maths business

Btw what were your results

For both as and A2

Coz I got AAB in as level

[mellow venture]

Ah i dont like saying that stuff

[rare vault]

B in business unfortunately

[rare vault]

Cmon man

[mellow venture]

Eh

[rare vault]

PRiv then

[round jacinth]

they dont

it's only recommended

[mellow venture]

I drop it only to people ive known for a bit so yh

[mellow venture]

Ah ok

[rare vault]

Nahhhhh

Pls man ok sure take your time

I just wanna know how bad I did

[mellow venture]

Wdym

[rare vault]

Coz I am not at all at peace with that B

It’s bugging me from within

[mellow venture]

Its not even worth comparing my AS with urs

I had covid grades

Mayb when u get to a2

Ask me then

[rare vault]

Ah can’t tolerate that long

I think one month enough to trust me

[mellow venture]

Unfortunate

[rare vault]

See you in a month

😂

[mellow venture]

LOL

[rare vault]

Take care

Ba bye

[mellow venture]

Ill see

[chilly jay]

you'll do fine if you have a real interest there

as an observation, a lot of people especially these days just want to study CS because

1. that's what everyone is doing
2. it leads to some of the higher paying jobs out there

[faint pulsar]

yes they do

u dont need A level CS

but u need CS experience

[round jacinth]

huh????

i've seen people get in without having written a single line of code before

[faint pulsar]

for cs?

maybe they got in for engineering

[round jacinth]

yeah

[faint pulsar]

oh

[rare vault]

Ikr literally everyone is taking CS
Even those that know nothing about pcs
Like cmon ppl stop

I just think that everyone should take a profession in which he atleast has some amount of interest

And that interest should not be because of getting a good paycheck

I wanted to be a doctor but I never took off in bio and so I gave up before igcse

But in cs I have a keen interest so I took that

[sweet thistle]

People go where the money is. Had an interesting discussion in class. My teacher mentioned how there are so many influencers out there. Too many. And my friend- he adores politics- asked if you could say it was due to the society with the capitalistic mindset. Just cause we didn't wanna do lit

[rare vault]

Yes but they don’t see the incredible hard work Needed in CS and medical field

I personally think that engineering is a lot easier then CS and medical but I never had interest in engineering so my choices were limited from the start

[chilly jay]

there are so many influencers out there. Too many. And my friend- he adores politics- asked if you could say it was due to the society with the capitalism mindset. Just cause we didn't wanna do lit

elaborate on "due to the society with the capitalism mindset"
I don't think your friend fully understands what capitalism is

[sweet thistle]

The amount of money many influencers obtain and due to human nature of always wanting more- in this instance money- people go to where they can get the most of something. The amount of money you get from being an influencer is sometimes to ridiculous amounts. I don't think i'm currently wording everything correctly. However hopefully you understand

[lean rock]

guys i need help i have to apply for diploma by jan after my a1 report comes-

is there any business diploma courses anyone know if in Germany

[faint pulsar]

Engineering is harder than CS for sure lol

[still flint]

Guys im some advice for uni

i want to study Computer Science at uni and i take Law, Psychology and Computer Science at my A levels

would i be able to study Computer Science at uni by just having only 1 relevant subject related to CS??

[chilly jay]

you need to check your university's admissions requirements

it should specify what subjects you need and the grade required

Math would've helped
but you could become an IP or patent lawyer

[still flint]

majority of them say something like calculus & vectors, algebra and some other science subjects because they know not everyone has the opportunity to just straight up study CS in 11th and 12th grade

so this sort of makes things confusing for me?

[chilly jay]

elaborate

[still flint]

i mean if universities could just stright up require a highschool CS degree then they would but they know not every school offers CS as a subject at highschool level so then they require related subjects like Maths, Physics and some other science subject.

i happen have directly studied computer science insted

[chilly jay]

okay first, do you want to study CS, computer engineering or software engineering? and where

[still flint]

CS preferably, second option would be software engineering

[chilly jay]

where

[still flint]

canada

my family is there

[chilly jay]

have you checked any particular programs

[still flint]

yeah like 7 unis and collages

they requirements are vague for A levels stuidents

they say somthing like an overall grade of 65%

or something like "2 B"

no mention of a CS A level degree

[chilly jay]

a quick search online says you need calculus as a bare minimum to study computer science mostly everywhere

[still flint]

alright mate i think i know what to ask and who to ask. i should probably talk to this with my school as well

thanks btw

[lean rock]

can someone really help me..lol

if no one knows its fine

[faint pulsar]

u need math for sure for most unis

some canadian unis need physics too

math physics cs would be safe

[rare vault]

Boi you need maths
Maths is of utmost importance for CS
Unis rarely care if you took CS in a levels or igcse although having it might be a plus

[void elk]

Please. What university is this? I'm desperate for a university where I can get into

[void elk]

THIS IS FOR CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES

A really long message and application dump but please read through all of it before replying to it.

My Academics:

My IGCSE results: 7 A*s (ESL, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Additional Maths, ICT). Idk what my percentages are, but I think around 80-90%

My AS Level Results: 4 A's (Physics: 78.5%, Chemistry: 63.8%, CS: 66.7%, Maths: 97.7%).

IELTS: 8.0 (L 8.5, R 8.5, W 7.0, S 8.0)

From AS Level:
Overall with 3 best: 80.9%
Overall with 4 subjects: 80%

(Theoretically, assuming I can get 90% or so in all my A2 exams, I can improve this to ~87% avg by end of Grade 12.)

A quick note before I list my university choices and queries:

Minimum Admissions Requirements aren't enough, as most universities are, as expected, competitive to get into, right? So I'll be highlighting Minimum as MIN: X% and Admissions average (averages people have got in with) as ADAVG

My Canadian university choices:

1. Dalhousie University (MIN: 70%; ADAVG: ???)
2. University of New Brunswick (MIN: 75% ADAVG: ???)
   3, University of Victoria (MIN: 3 C's in A level so percentage-wise about 70%? [Judging by what I think of the previous grade boundaries before 2020] ; ADAVG: ~80-90%)
3. University of Alberta (MIN: 70%; ADAVG: 85-94% for BSc in CS and 80-89% for BE)
4. Queen's University (MIN: within the competitive range is B in three Advanced Level subjects; ADAVG: Low 80's for Science (QS) and High 80s for Engineering (QEM))

Now my worries/questions are:

Am I still competitive enough to be considered in these universities (because I feel like I'm barely eligible to not at all)?
Should I resit AS Level? (Issues with this are that many universities don't like this and would outright reject if you had a second attempt: i.e. UBC)
Should I do the SATs and rather just apply with that over A levels? (As this is a big risk to take and time constraints, possibly missing out on early admissions.)

Extracurriculars

For extracurriculars, I have some I can write about. (about 2 main and 4 in total)
My two main ones would be:
-Teaching first year IGCSE Students
-Receiving hands-on training on DB Management, IT-related work (setting up medical equipment, fixing loose connections, data errors in the database system, etc.)

Everything I've done:

-Teaching first year IGCSE Students (Grade 11)
-IT Training (Grade 11)
-Badminton Club (Grade 11)
-Chess Club (Been in this one in Grade 4 and Grade 11)

(Yes a bit lacking, I know.)

I have also won Spelling Bee 1st place 6 times in a row from Grades 2-7 and I don't know if I can add this in tbh. I used to also be in the Art Club in Grade 5 I think but I don't remember much about it anymore and am thinking of omitting this one since I don't have credible evidence for this one.

Things I'm thinking of doing in the future:

-I'm thinking of doing a MOOC to add in to this but I'm not sure if I'll make it by the first week of October (when admission applications begin)

-Join my school's Student Council (I'll have sent in my application by the time I'd be able to get a certificate from my school about this, so idk if I should even do it now.)

I can negate the time issues if I send in my university applications after I complete my A Levels but it's not really an option for me.

A person recommended me to just code during the remainder time of my summer vacation but I don't know where to begin/what to do. I'm too nervous/crunched for time to clearly take a step forward... Please help. I only really know a bit of Python but it's nothing too remarkable; only the things from the A level CS syllabus and IG CS. I think I've included everything I can think of, off the top of my head. I feel like I'm going crazy And I'm really in doubt that CA universities really don't look at PMUs (%) and grades (symbols: A, B, etc) only as the consultation firm I'm planning on working with require my % for every subject alongside official certificate with symbols.

A possible reason why I think the uni's may have not looked at % from 2020-2021 sessions is because of the pandemic, during which there were only predicted grades and no percentages for any subject were handed out

[maiden marlin]

bro you need to chill

[elfin junco]

@cedar hollow @void glen @mellow venture @tropic yew thoughts?

@void elk Generally if you respond to universities with these queries they will respond and are decently helpful with clearing up questions

[maiden marlin]

Am I still competitive enough to be considered in these universities (because I feel like I'm barely eligible to not at all)?
and why do you feel that way? you listed your grades just before listing the requirements (that you fulfill) and for most of the universities you have listed you should be good.
Especially considering that you haven't given your A2 exams yet it's just stupid to be losing sleep over it

[cedar hollow]

dude i can tell you, you have a high chance for all these universities if you get 85%+ in A2

UVic, Dal and UNB are your reach schools

Queens might be your dream school

honestly you have a good chance for all of them

i would suggest dont resist AS, its a waste of time and money

[hoary mulch]

any advice on applying to malaysian universities? is the application process similar to other countries?

also, i want to major in computer science and math but in most unis, there's only the option of taking one

is it not possible to take both in malaysian unis?

[faint pulsar]

You can get into Uoft UBC and Mcgill easily

they dont care about your percentage

i had similar grades

[faint pulsar]

Dont resit ur grades are more than enough

Ualberta just needs a B average

so ur good to go

plus if u apply before getting final A levels they'll give u a unconditional offer

they'll give u early admission based off AS level

[faint pulsar]

they never looked at percentage

check the conversion of canadian percentage to A level

Dw with ur grades ur pretty much guaranteed getting into all canadian unis except waterloo ig

just apply early coz spots fill up

[covert sphinx]

Any advice on applying to UAE unis? Like which ones to avoid and which ones have good standards. I have eco, maths and psych in ALs.

[mellow venture]

No clue dk about canada

[hoary mulch]

hey i need some help

what exactly is course type and mode of implementation

[rare vault]

Bro you got excellent grades
As for percentages don’t even worry about em as you already meet most unis entry requirements. Also percentages were necessary during the COVID era

You already have more extracurriculars then me. (I have only 1-2)

My grades in as are AAB
All I care is that I managed an A in CS and Maths

Most unis need maths A level to be the highest grade and I am already fine in that department

I also have very few coding experience (don’t worry as many ppl go into CS degree courses without writing a single line of code)

[rare vault]

Even Waterloo isn’t that hard

Coz he knows about programming fr before so he should easily get admission over there as well

Well on that note I got a B in business and want to go to a Canadian uni as well in CS
So should I resit my AS level business

Btw I got a B in As level

[hoary mulch]

anyone?

[round jacinth]

ok💀

[chilly jay]

I only really know a bit of Python but it's nothing too remarkable

Coz he knows about programming fr

no

[hoary mulch]

what do these mean? how do i know which to choose?

[chilly jay]

what is this?

you need to provide more context

send a link

[hoary mulch]

application to university of malaya

[chilly jay]

do you want to send me a link so I can try helping you?

[hoary mulch]

you would have to create an account

it's the univerisity's actual portal

[chilly jay]

could you send a larger screenshot

[chilly jay]

no, larger

what's the title of this form

[chilly jay]

this lets you search for programs I think

[hoary mulch]

yes but what exactly is course type and mode of implementation

[chilly jay]

you should choose based on what course type you want

can you send all entries in both dropdowns here

[hoary mulch]

sure

[hoary mulch]

this one is for the course type

[chilly jay]

what about these

when you scroll down

[hoary mulch]

this one is for mode of implementation

[chilly jay]

you probably want to select conventional

[chilly jay]

the usual/traditional mode of attendance unless you want to learn remotely etc.

[mellow venture]

Please help me find love which major should i pick

[hoary mulch]

i see

[mellow venture]

They said compooter make money i thought i get wohman 😔

[hoary mulch]

what about mode of implementation

i mean course type**

sorry lol

[hoary mulch]

i love wohman

[mellow venture]

Send all the options

[hoary mulch]

i did

[chilly jay]

go through all of them one by one and read program descriptions

I guess

[hoary mulch]

^

[hoary mulch]

where do i get that from

[chilly jay]

just click each entry

let the other options stay the same

[mellow venture]

Well exchange generally means

From another uni

These seem p unconventional so yeah check every single one like index said

[hoary mulch]

alright

thank you both

[void elk]

What was your grade boundary for the B? If it's >70-80% I dont think it's necessary. Also I just spoke to the consultation firm. This dude couldn't believe at all that my CS and Chem grades, thar were both mid 60%, were A's. Idk man go blame Cambridge cuz of the grade boundaries being so low (56-57% for A). Should it become C's by the time AS level certificates come in Sept/Oct, then fuck it. Idc. I tried my best and fuck MCQ and Practicals: they can go to hell.

[void elk]

That person also said my chances of getting into UAlberta is possible but low but even more low for UBC. Didnt talk about UToronto because not really interested in going to Ontario

[void glen]

why would it become C's by the time certificates come?

you're just getting worried for no reason

[void elk]

Idk I feel frustrated

[faint pulsar]

Dont believe lol percentage doesnt matter

only letter grade

[void elk]

I'm getting conflicting info

[void glen]

and we keep telling you that percentages don't matter

idk if you're looking at the Canadian averages

this isnt for 2022-2023 btw

[void elk]

What dyu wanna study? Like field in CS the specialization? What's more important to you? Jobs/research?

What interests you more?

[hoary mulch]

tbh i want to study math

[void elk]

I feel you

[hoary mulch]

but my parents are urging me to go into a field that has more practical uses

which one has the most math?

[void elk]

Then Data Science?

That's statistics

[hoary mulch]

ah no not stats

pure

if possible

[void elk]

Hm

[faint pulsar]

BRUH

percentages are for canadian students

not you

chill

[void glen]

yeah lol

[faint pulsar]

Uoft and all have specific A level requirements

[void elk]

Then CompSci Major with minor in Maths or double major

[void glen]

I can't find any requirements for a level students on the alberta website

[hoary mulch]

i want to double major but im afraid if that would double the fees

[faint pulsar]

ye it aint there

[chilly jay]

couldn't agree more

[faint pulsar]

but unofficially

you need B average

anw with ur AS results u can get in

apply in october and u'll get in

i got in october

[hoary mulch]

even if you arent done with ur full AS?

[chilly jay]

I thought uAlberta deadlines passed for September 22

[faint pulsar]

oh I finished A level

[hoary mulch]

i still have two subjects in oct

[hoary mulch]

ik i meant if i still had subjects to do in oct, can i still apply early?

i have two As in AS atm

from may

[chilly jay]

you're saying if you don't have Bs needed in A2 you can get in with AS?

[void elk]

I'm sorry man... idk mich about Malaysian unis...

[hoary mulch]

it's okay, thanks tho

[safe owl]

Gave +1 rep to シユ (Shiyu)#5457

[faint pulsar]

they give u early admission based off AS results

[void elk]

My frustration

[chilly jay]

have deadlines for September this year passed?

[hoary mulch]

what if i didnt finish my AS exams yet?

[void elk]

What documents dyu need?

[void elk]

You cant apply

Yet

[faint pulsar]

IGCSE and AS results

[faint pulsar]

ye

[hoary mulch]

once my results are out?

[faint pulsar]

u can apply for 2023

[hoary mulch]

wow should've done all my AS together in this case

[void elk]

Could you be more specific? Like IG & AS Level Certificates? The hard copy ones.. like scan them and apply online right? My agency keeps asking me for these blue slips of paper which I'm assuming is the component marks and percentage grades too alongside the official certificate

[faint pulsar]

no

scan copy

hard copy aint needed

maybe u need 9th final results too

[void elk]

Not the provisional statement of results though right?

The one accessed via myresults.cie.org.uk

[faint pulsar]

even thats fine

[hoary mulch]

if im applying with a levels, i dont need to include my report cards from school, right?

[void elk]

What...? Bruh.

Then I could begin preparing right now

[faint pulsar]

Yes

[void elk]

The documents I mean

[faint pulsar]

u could apply now

if u want

I applied in october

[void elk]

What uni did you apply for again?

[hoary mulch]

?

[faint pulsar]

University of ALberta

[void elk]

If you apply using AS final certificate then you need your predicted grades from your school

And AL Term 1 exam resulta

[faint pulsar]

no

u just nee

need

predicted

[void elk]

@faint pulsar can I add you? Please help me in my app to UoA

[faint pulsar]

there isnt anything

just upload the docs

and apply

[hoary mulch]

the uni you're applying to needs a personal statement, no?

[void elk]

So no transcripts, First term of A2 result %'s. Just:

IG Certificate scan
AS Certificate scan
IELTS
Predicted A2 Grades when I get my hands on them (around Feb/March)?

@faint pulsar

[faint pulsar]

ask for it now

they'll give

based off AS result

[void elk]

So not on my perf on, say a past paper of A2?

If I manage to get a mix of A's and A*s, then I'm good to go according to you guys. I'll see what I can do. I'll talk to my school.

[faint pulsar]

Bro ur good now also

ur guaranteed getting into Uoft and Mcgill

and UBC

with ur grades

as long as u get good predicteds

[void elk]

@hoary mulch check your DMs. I have a friend who studies in Malaysia. Think she can help you out

I think you'll have a good chance of getting accepted into UNB

or Dalhousie

[full briar]

are they less competitive than alberta and queen’s ?

[void elk]

Oh yes

quite a bit less actually

for ref: they're closer to the bottom 10

UAlberta is #5 in CA

[full briar]

that was my number one option tho :))

[void elk]

Edmonton is such a nice city

[full briar]

is it possible for me to get in with all A’s in A2?

[void elk]

[full briar]

[full briar]

are you applying after A2?

[void elk]

well... I'll have to see

with AS final certificate

so im gonna begin my app process around mid Sept

[void elk]

I thought of doing it but only benefits would be that I'd be able to include 2 more extracurriculars (maybe) and have better AVGs for A Level but I don't want to risk losing early admissions offers
