hey guys

should I be worried if UCL sent me this

[modern flame]

It means that you’re not dead yet

they haven’t reviewed it yet

[frail linden]

is it good? heard it was pretty strict and stuff man 😭

[lime heart]

Ah ait

[turbid zealot]

I got the same freaking message

It just means

We still have a chance

😆😆

Any good computer science universities internationally for a Pakistani student?

[left cipher]

I live in jordan and want to study business abroad , although costs are high so I want to get a scholarship. Any suggestions??

[trail iron]

Look into Canadian universities - University of British Columbia, etc

Alot of pakistanis that I know of go there to study CS

And end up with pretty nice jobs

[trail iron]

Where are you wanting to study?
I guess getting a scholarship really depends on your school and whether or not you've filled the requirements like our school here gets many scholarships compared to the rest of the country but the requirements are extremely high so only those who fullfill them end up with the scholarships

[left cipher]

I was considering either Hungary or somewhere in the UK , many people in our school end up in hungary but im not sure what universities have high acceptance rates for scholarships

[tranquil summit]

Idk about undergrad but the Hungarians I've met have advised against doing a PhD in Hungary because there's very little research funding available

The UK isn't very nice about scholarships unless your home country offers any

[trail iron]

Ooh sorry didnt see this but Im afraid I dont know much about it I do apologise but what Mushu has said may be useful! ^^

[turbid zealot]

I did check up on a lot of hungarian universities there tuition are really low but idk about the quality of education because that depends on each university and you can research this by checking reviews on that said university and as for the uk scholarships are scarce if not non existent for international students doing bachelors and trust me I searched but they are available for masters and phds which you can think about later

[tranquil summit]

Yeah there aren't that many for masters either but if you're getting something from your home country they usually come with a clause that you have to go back for 2-5 years

PhDs have a bunch tho because they need funding

[glacial shadow]

Anyone here have advice about aerospace engineering? I have 3 options so far, 2 of which (Bristol and Southampton) have already sent me an offer. The third option is TU Delft is the Netherlands, and I am still waiting for my results. I'm really stressed about which university to choose as they all offer similar facilities and include courses for Spacecraft Engineering, which I'm interested in. I am worried about the social aspect though, and the day to day life in these countries. Any advice?

[tranquil summit]

Southampton is a smaller place than Bristol so Bristol will have more nightlife / student life although Southampton is closer to London

[lime heart]

bristol is good tho

they got good connections to the rolls royce holdings

the one that manufactures literally almost every commercial airline jet engine

idk about spacecraft tho but if u plan on changing to planes and stuff u have that option

[tranquil summit]

I have heard bad things about mental health in Bristol tho, F

But yeah it's a pretty fucking good location for aerospace because airbus and Boeing both have offices there

But if you're not a national then good luck getting work experience before you graduate because these are all defense jobs and the base level of security clearance is 3 or 5 years of residence

And a bunch of internships just require you to be a national

But at least by the time you graduate you'll have 3 years of residence

[glacial shadow]

I might get a slightly better chance bc my dad's old classmate from when he did aerospace is now in charge of the whole internship part at airbus in Bristol so I guess that's a pretty huge bonus, do you think worrying about the space sector is worth it in undergrad or is it something more like a master specialisation?

[tranquil summit]

Yeah that's definitely helpful. If you can talk to him (depending on how well you know him) about security clearances required. But maybe you'd get internships on not directly aero things but still within the company which is still valuable and I highly recommend

But no defo aero is perfectly valid for undergrad if that's what you wanna do

It might not be what you do for the rest of your career but that's alright too

And that applies to any field

[glacial shadow]

awesome, thanks @tranquil summit!

[umbral scarab]

I recently got accepted into University of Wisconsin Madison and Michigan State University

for wisconsin madison I applied for Biomedical Engineering and for Michigan State I applied for Biotechnology

both are great universities but I wanted yall's opinions on where would you attend if choosing between these 2?

[modern flame]

so, university of wisconsin madison is definitely a more prestigious university

it has a much lower acceptance rate (60% vs 83%) and also has a higher average SAT score, which means that the people there will likely be better

and while this isn't a big deal for everyone, but is for many, wisconsin madison is cheaper

[umbral scarab]

I read online also that madison is better for many reasons but the thing is many people from my area and school choose michigan state idk why

I still have 1 decision left, from NYU then i will decide where i would go in the end

[modern flame]

yea I'd say if you get NYU then NYU's probably better than both

but you'd have to read up on that

[modern flame]

hmm idk either

[round jacinth]

bro

that’s not how it works lmao

acceptance rate has nothing to do with prestige, or how good a university is

although Wisconsin-Madison still is a better university than michigan state

[round jacinth]

michigan state is also great

[elfin junco]

Michigan is also becoming a really good place to live in btw

Relatively less expensive

And they're progressing super quick

[round jacinth]

but not too safe idt

depends which part prob

but detroit

probably stay away from it

[round jacinth]

bro apparently

some of my friends say

they have like actual arabic food

real arabic food

there’s one city there

i think dearborn?

it’s all just arabs

i wanna go there

they also have like restaurant chains from back home

[elfin junco]

Oh that's crazy

[round jacinth]

chicago does too lmao

i was surprised when i saw it

[elfin junco]

That's super interesting

[round jacinth]

very

worthy of a trip

[elfin junco]

Yess

[round jacinth]

here for good arabic food

have to pay $50 for a plate of rice lmao

[elfin junco]

Yeah it's like $6 for 1 vada pav here (costs 20 rupees in India)

And Arabic food is even less common

[round jacinth]

oh yeah indian food too💀

bro

garlic naan

not the whole thing

like half of it

is like $7

and it’s average at best

[elfin junco]

Bruhh same here

[round jacinth]

it’s so stupid💀

[elfin junco]

I ate at 1 really good indian restaurant here and the cost for 8 people hit $400 almost

[round jacinth]

💀💀💀💀

bruh

that would cost more per person than it would overall somewhere else

or roughly same

and yk

papar

papad

$5💀

[elfin junco]

💀💀

[round jacinth]

i swear could fine dine back home with those prices lmao

[elfin junco]

Ong

[round jacinth]

butter chicken

small bowl

it barely makes me full even

and it’s not that great

so sweet

is like $20

[elfin junco]

Yikess

Sweet gravy is so bad

[round jacinth]

i swear

inedible lmao

[elfin junco]

Yepp

[round jacinth]

it makes my cheeks feel funny

[elfin junco]

I'm vegetarian and they do that for vegetarian food too here

Can't give us good spicy food

[round jacinth]

sweet daal😰😰😰

other day

i had this daal

supposedly

and it’s like

mushy💀

[elfin junco]

Bruhhh

[round jacinth]

food over here

from restaurants

is not that great overall

in general

chick fil a only is goatee

goated

[elfin junco]

Plus the tipping culture there is fucked

[round jacinth]

dumbest thing ever

yk what’s even worse

the prices on the menu

doesnt like include tax and stuff

so you lool at it

it’s $10

go pay for it

and it comes out like $15

so annoying

[elfin junco]

Yeah that's such a scam

[round jacinth]

yk sometimes

those restaurants which arent like dine in

or anything

when it comes to the part where they ask for the tip

they stare at you

and no way in hell im paying a person a tip for just taking my order and putting a sandwich in a bag

so lowkey feels guilty

[elfin junco]

Yeah exactly

And 20% standard tips are crazy

It used to 12%

Then 15%

[round jacinth]

it’s prob even more

22%

i think

[elfin junco]

Damn

[round jacinth]

once my friend

gave 15%

the lady working there was lowkey pissed lmao

[round jacinth]

and it charges you it automatically if like 4 people

or more

[elfin junco]

Yeah it's fucked for them too, the owners take away so much profit

[round jacinth]

true

that’s the dumb part

not like it’s cheap

but then

they pay them like what

$3 an hour or smthn

idk

[elfin junco]

Yeah the tips essentially become their wage

[round jacinth]

very stupid system

one thing i like though

the portion sizes (sometimes)

once i had this cheesesteak

for lunch

i was full until the next day’s lunch

and didnt have breakfast that morning

[elfin junco]

Oh that's good

[worn dune]

what are the best countries for med school? MBBS only, not considering US or Canada

[wide pendant]

BSMU?

[worn dune]

whats that?

[wide pendant]

its a medical university in belarus

full name is

belarusian state medical university

[worn dune]

is it good

and is it cheap

[cedar hollow]

.

@worn dune read that

There is no direct answer on "which country is best for med school?"

It all depends on you

[worn dune]

ur doing med school in turkey?

do they teach in english?

[worn dune]

well what im looking for is a good place for Muslim international students, something relatively cheap, a school which is internationally accepted and just a nice place in general

a cheap country works too but my main concern is med fees and a country which is generally welcoming to Muslims

and Muslim girls

[trail iron]

Med schools in the middle east?

Med schools in south asia like pakistan

They have pretty decent med schools and they have international med schools too you can study there graduate and if you're wanting to move to the UK for example later on you can give the licensing exams etc

For medicine in the middle east I guess the best places to go to in Saudia and Qatar

Not sure about the prices though especially for international students they tend to be alot higher

The UAE has alot of options too

Turkey possible but havent heard much about there

Are you a native from any islamic country?

[worn dune]

i LIVE in UAE

and its hella expensive

like really really

[trail iron]

Do you mind me asking where you come from

It might be easier looking into a country you directly come from

There'd be cheaper options

[worn dune]

im from bangladesh but i was born and raised in UAE

and my parents dont want to send me to bangladesh for medical school

because the study environment isnt good

[trail iron]

Would you want to go to pakistan?

[worn dune]

and its a corrupted country

i can

not

[trail iron]

I feel like it would be the most affordable

[worn dune]

bangladesh and pakistan arent really

politically

on good terms

so it would be hard for me to get a visa

[trail iron]

Hmm

[worn dune]

plus my parents would not allow me to go there

and i would have to learn their language

urdu

[modern flame]

Right fair

[worn dune]

i do know urdu but i cannot read or write it

[trail iron]

No but the good thing there is that

They do speak english too

If you go to lahore and stuff

But I understand what you mean with the relations

Its hard looking into the middle east because as far as international students go

They do overprice the unis a bit imo

😭 😭

Are they welcoming to muslims though

Which states would you recommend

@worn dune Would you want to look into india?

Yes for sure

Do they have good relations with bangladesh though

Okay then thats not a concern at all lmao

[worn dune]

west bengal as in kolkata?

[trail iron]

Also you can look into indonesia malaysia and turkey I guess aswell

[worn dune]

dont think thats a good option, my parents are generally looking for sending me to european regions

turkey is on my list

but with the recent earthquake im not too sure

my dream is to go to the UK

but

too expensive :/

[trail iron]

But then it also wasnt in the central part of turkey yk

[worn dune]

well anwyways thank you :))

[modern flame]

That’s fair

[rotund sage]

it was in rural areas i believe

[worn dune]

i see

[trail iron]

Yes

[rotund sage]

i had friends there in central turkey they were fine

[modern flame]

Also there’s earthquakes everywhere

[trail iron]

It was distant from the central city where most of the better unis are

[modern flame]

You can’t consider those when picking unis

[trail iron]

Yes true

They can occur anywhere without you knowing

[rotund sage]

anyone has any idea abt georgia?

[worn dune]

i knowww

[trail iron]

And nowadays theres natural disasters going on about everywhere tbh

[worn dune]

i was looking forgeorgia

but im not sure

if they are welcoming to Muslims

[rotund sage]

well

[worn dune]

honestly thats not a major problem

[trail iron]

The nicest place ever but idk about education 😭

[worn dune]

i think i will survive

but

yeah

tblisi state university

i heard about it

[rotund sage]

i heard its good

[trail iron]

I havent heard anything about their universities etc

[rotund sage]

and got alot of halal options aswell

[trail iron]

I might ask my friend about it though

[rotund sage]

its more or less diverse

[trail iron]

Its so beautiful though 😭

[rotund sage]

i also want medicine but am more or less looking at poland italy and germany

uk needs me being a millionaire and usa is indirect like crazy

[trail iron]

According to google georgia is one of the best places to study medicine in

Its recognised by different boards

[rotund sage]

its very cheap

[trail iron]

But they dont recognise it in EU though?

[rotund sage]

and its good thats what ik

[rotund sage]

its not in the relation yeah

thats why im not into it

[trail iron]

They recognise the degree in India and stuff it says

[rotund sage]

in europe u need to equalise

but when u studied in one of the european countries ur certificate is good enough

oh btw i also heard that

[worn dune]

in georgia?

[worn dune]

ACTUALLLYYYY

[rotund sage]

poland and italy have an agreement with UK so for being a doctor in uk u need to be registered. the ppl who studied there get registered quick obv. then come selected european countries including poland and italy which get the second fastest registration with less hassle pretty much. rest of the world gets the normal equalisation and waiting typa thing

[trail iron]

Yess they do

[worn dune]

um i heard italy isnt generally a good place for studying

[rotund sage]

so if u want to work in uk and its expensive to study

[trail iron]

They're pretty welcoming to muslims

[worn dune]

germany is hella good tho good luck

[rotund sage]

just go to one of them

[rotund sage]

it has high ranked unis tho

[worn dune]

not too sure thats what i heard from other ppl

im looking into germany too

[trail iron]

Ooh

[worn dune]

i heard its cheap?

[rotund sage]

yeah

or u can study in charles uni

its good

i had relatives who graduated from there

[trail iron]

Where are you planning to go?

[rotund sage]

honestly i want to sleep

[trail iron]

😭 Aww

You should

[rotund sage]

this too crazy

germany is really good but man

their language

i mean ik english pretty much my entire life and now i gotta study their language to study medicine completely w a foreign language

they legit want me to know the language level just below native

[worn dune]

i know right

thats the major problem

i wanna sleep too this is frustrating

i had another doubt

is taking a gap year before appliyng to med school a good chouce?

[rotund sage]

well

what would u do with ur gap year

the point of a gap year is to develop some skill or take some course that will give u an advantage in ur uni studies

[trail iron]

If you really feel like you're not ready for med school yet and you wanna do more research and prepare yourself more it is I know alot of people who delay going to uni by a year through gap year

[worn dune]

yeah im trying to get work experience

[trail iron]

But yes it is a bit useless if you cant prepare unless you find some course that does prepare you

If you make your time useful and learn alot and genuinely prepare then its worth it

[worn dune]

im gonna decide if i need a gap year dependin g on my AS results

my main thing was to develop extracurricular sckills

and work expericne

in gap year

[rotund sage]

maybe u can take courses relating to medicine

itll help

[trail iron]

Yess 100%

[rotund sage]

or do alot of things that give certificates or smth

to put in ur admission folder

[gusty gate]

Is USyd good? For engineering?

[modern flame]

I believe so, I think there are some members in the server that are studying there

[dim peak]

anyone doing uni in UAE?

[gusty gate]

considering

[cedar hollow]

First of all how much is ur budget exactly

Also all schools that are listed on WDOMS are accredited internationally

I study in Istanbul so if paying around 25000-30k USD suits u contact me

Per year btw

[thick copper]

is anyone going to Europe?

[glacial shadow]

yeah

[glacial shadow]

I wanna go to either UK or Netherlands

[thick copper]

oh interesting

[glacial shadow]

hbu?

[thick copper]

planning to go to Netherlands

hoping it works out

[glacial shadow]

oh nice, is it by any chance DelftTU?

that's where I want to go

[thick copper]

I was looking into it but the deadline is passed now ig

[glacial shadow]

F

[thick copper]

that’s a solid uni

[glacial shadow]

yeah I applied to aerospace and the process started in january and ended on the 22nd of march

im getting my results on the 15th next month

[thick copper]

oh shit good luck hope you did well

[glacial shadow]

thanks man, but how about you do other unis have later deadlines?

[thick copper]

so I checked a couple unis in Amsterdam and then nijmegen and eindhoven and yea their deadlines are on the 1st of April

and in May

so have time

[glacial shadow]

ah nice, what subjects you aiming for

[thick copper]

atm I’m doing ALs so I’m doing chem maths and phy then for uni probably mechanical ig

[glacial shadow]

mechanical engineering?

[thick copper]

gonna apply w predicted ig

[thick copper]

yea

[glacial shadow]

that's tough man good luck to you too

[thick copper]

thanks bro

[glacial shadow]

let's hope we keep mental sanity xD

[thick copper]

yessir that’s the goal man

also btw

are any A Level papers getting leaked before exams I heard from one of my friends

[glacial shadow]

no idea, I just know the fm session papers are released

[thick copper]

hmm

okay

[thick copper]

oh on which site can I find them

[glacial shadow]

on #a2-physics lol

just scroll up a bit

there's gonna be a drive link

[thick copper]

okay

[glacial shadow]

i replied to the post so its easier to find

[thick copper]

ty bro

@glacial shadow what were your o level results?

if you don’t mind me asking

[glacial shadow]

i did CAIE, are you asking for AS?

[thick copper]

no for your ordinary level exam

before AS

[glacial shadow]

oh so IGCSEs

[thick copper]

yea

[glacial shadow]

like 4A* 4A smth like that

[thick copper]

oh nice

[glacial shadow]

or 5 and 3

i don't remember

[thick copper]

I got 5A*s and 3As

wb AS

[glacial shadow]

lmao cool

[thick copper]

all As?

[glacial shadow]

AAA Maths Chem Phys

yep

[thick copper]

damn you’re smart af

how was chem

both of us do the same subjects

[glacial shadow]

swear to god I hated it

but still had to go through with it

not so bad this year but still kinda meh

[thick copper]

im dying rn dude this shit doesn’t end

[glacial shadow]

hahah this is me for my mocks

[thick copper]

ngl for O Level Chem was so fun but man for ALs it’s damn annoying

[glacial shadow]

i had to do the Delft entry exam and the chem mock in the same day cus i was an idiot and did the entry exam too late

and I got a 53/100 in chem xD

C

[thick copper]

oh

in vain what to do

how was the entry exam was it easy or

don’t you think entry exams are annoying imagine like after a person gets all A*s and let’s say if he gets a world prize still have to do an entry exam yea

[glacial shadow]

it was 1h Maths 1h Physics and 45 min 1st Year Material, so it was very weird and sometimes hard sometimes not but the first year material was fun to go through

i have them here if you're curious

[thick copper]

oh nice

[thick copper]

damn

I have a couple more days to apply ngl im thinking between mechanical or computer science cs is good for the future and there are a lot of job opportunities so might go for it

[glacial shadow]

i say fun but that's after 30hrs of torture trying to learn it all xD

[thick copper]

😭😭

[glacial shadow]

look, go in engineering if you know you will like doing what you're learning, if else, comp sci is very well paid, still a hard course but ig you have better opportunities in some cases

im gonna do aerospace bc i've liked it since I was very young

[thick copper]

in general cs it covers all the topics and for masters I could do a software engineering degree

cs is gonna be like most demanding thing as well so yea feel like I’m gonna go for it

[thick copper]

oh nice that’s good

[glacial shadow]

you could find a MOOC online for mechanical engineering and see how that goes, maybe you'll get a better view of the situation

[thick copper]

oh okay I’ll check it out

thanks mate

[glacial shadow]

no worries dude

[thick copper]

@glacial shadow what are some good sites to get solid notes

[glacial shadow]

coincidentally, znotes haha

i use savemyexams and gceguides sometimes too

but i also made my own from the textbook

[thick copper]

oh okay

ah yea I use savemyexams as well

[dim peak]

If anyone's doing uni in UAE. What are the list of universities that you would recommend for accounting and finance undergrad

[indigo oar]

wouldn't advise it tbh

but if you are, there's nyu abu dhabi

university of sharjah, AUD, university of wollongong

i've actually been to the campus of wollongong UAE and it's pretty nice

has a great cafeteria

it's cold asf though

pretty sure it was like 17ºC when i went to business camp there

[void glen]

wtf is that supposed to be cold

[tulip mango]

for a UAE raised person it kinda is

was super hard for me to adjust to the weather abroad

[worn dune]

is medical school in UAE a good option?

[tulip mango]

Yes if you can afford it

[tardy moss]

As in, the TU Delft?

[tardy moss]

There's Aeronautical Engineering at InHolland University of Applied Sciences

Its a 10 min walk away from TU's Aerospace facility

[glacial shadow]

yeah

[glacial shadow]

are you from there? i could use a bit of advice/experience of what it’s like there

as in living there (aspect, cost, and social part)

[rotund sage]

i hear sharjah uni is good but a scholarship better be claimed cuz its 100k aed a year or smth. the scholarship can reduce the cost upto 50% and u can keep it by doing good (merit based)

[tardy moss]

Well, I'm studying at InHolland, actually

I'm a first year student, so thats nice

And I'm from Spain

Living-wise... damn 😅

The Netherlands is not a fun country. Sure, there's a party happening somewhere, and Rotterdam Centraal and the Den Haag beach has honestly become one of my most favourite places to be in... and spring is here, so Delft is now filled with beautiful cherry blossom trees and is honestly really nice to look at

But its tough here, and I say this as an EU citizen

The Dutch get a lot of benefits which are hard to come by as an EU citizen e.g. I'm currently struggling with getting the student travel product. Transport is efficient but so fucking expensive, its honestly insane.

And don't get me started on housing.

Most likely you'll spend your time at student dorms, but if you do, APPLY IMMEDIATELY

It is virtually so fucking impossible to find any sort of housing - mostly because landlords just won't care for you unless you're ducth.

The bureaucracy (e.g registration, municipality stuff, or just talking to any official body) is ridiculously slow. Don't feel bad for calling every 5 mins.

Groceries are too expensive - unless you're happy with eating plain bread for the rest of your life

But its ok

I live in Rotterdam - which is more than an hour commute by bus to Delft btw don't fool yourself like I did

Despite that, I've never felt more at home in Rotterdam than any place else

Its exceptionally diverse, and the restaurant options are countless

[glacial shadow]

wow thanks for the details!

[safe owl]

Gave +1 rep to queenKarma#2555

[tardy moss]

np

[tardy moss]

feel free to dm me if needed

[indigo oar]

would not advise studying in the UAE

[indigo oar]

bro the weather goes up to 55ºC here in summer and rarely even touches 20º even during winter

[indigo oar]

purely because there aren't good schools here. sure, no doubt you'll get good education, but will you be very employable once you graduate? doubtful.

[gentle maple]

what about singapore

[lime heart]

the requirements are higher to get in than most uk unis if ur an international student

like if you go to NUS's website they would ask for your A levels stating something like "three high scores"

they don't specify what letter grade they want but it's mostly 3A*'s from what I heard

and an additional entrance test depending on ur major

[thick copper]

@glacial shadow is there a Feb or jan intake for Tu delft

@tardy moss

[thick copper]

thanks for all the detail btw

[safe owl]

Gave +1 rep to queenKarma#2555

[gentle maple]

yes but the uni and the environment there is much better

[dim peak]

well, i did look at other options like UK and Canada but it's very expensive when you add in the accommodation, food and other expenses.
i live here in uae, and im planning to study for a year or two here and go somewhere else later on

my grades are good, so many were like don't waste it by going to a uni here in uae

so i don't really know

[twin sequoia]

UAE is not worth it at all

even the 'top' unis here r meh and goodluck getting jobs after graduation

[trail iron]

Mhm in order to apply you especially if you're not arab they ask for further education from other countries and expect too much from you

Not just the UAE but arab countries in general

[trail iron]

I agree tbh

[strange forum]

Anyone here who has studied or studying in any universities in BAKU, Azerbaijan??

I applied for ada university and khazar university but I am sure if they are good university to attend or not for bachelor's in CS!!

[indigo oar]

ah, i understand

sorry man

can you apply for financial aid?

i know i can't because even though my family wants me to pay for my own tuition (for the most part, at least), they own multiple houses etc so that's what i mean

do you fit the criteria to apply for aid?

also if your grades are good maybe apply for academic scholarships

also if your grades are good i'd really advise taking a standardised test (sat/act) to boost your app for academic scholarships. since your academics are already good, it's likely you'll get a good score with a little studying and this can really boost your app

yuh i think that's all i got to say

[indigo oar]

ada university is in the top 3500 in the world

khazar university is top 5000

in terms of education, i don't know, but they aren't ranked too high on the top universities list

[worn dune]

im not too sure but they rarely ever give international students financial aid

thats what i have heard

[dim peak]

i think i do fit the criteria but getting financial aid in these countries is very difficult. and i don't have much time, as im planning to start sept 2023

[indigo oar]

oh yeah i'm stupid sorry you need to be eligible for fafsa

[twin sequoia]

arent sept 2023 applications over?

[cloud estuary]

Yeah I think the deadline is usually Jan

[lofty bane]

the thing is that my 10th marks were good

[lofty bane]

what sort of ecs do you need for this?

[paper orchid]

There aren't any sepcific ecs you need to get into a university. Depends on the major.

[lofty bane]

chemical engineering ig?

[cloud estuary]

I've heard canadian unis don't really put emphasis on ecs

[paper orchid]

Yeah that's true.

Ig do some courses or work related to chemical engineering, maybe join some program in the summer.

[lofty bane]

alright then thanksss

[thick copper]

[cedar hollow]

Guys if a uni is rated 800 above should I apply for it?

I am talking about…studygeorgia unis

[torpid harbor]

Guys if I wanna apply to an Ivy League school what should I do to prepare for it as an international student

[round jacinth]

Take the hardest course load possible

And do great in it

Have great extracurriculars

Do well in SAT

Writing amazing essays

Then you might have a chance

[cedar hollow]

might

[round jacinth]

Realistically

It’s true lmao

A large part of it is luck

It’s weird

From my experience too

Ik people with worse stats than me get accepted/waitlisted while I got rejected at some universities

So yeah you don’t know how it works

Just try your best and pray

[cedar hollow]

😭

all that for an admission at uni when you can learn the same stuff in a different uni with lesser fees and more time for ec's

[round jacinth]

😭😭😭

Exactly

[cedar hollow]

ofc connections and prestige matter, but not at the cost of rushing through hs years grinding random activities

really having second thoughts rn

[round jacinth]

Honestly if you have what it takes

To like

At least not get rejected immediately

[cedar hollow]

hey is czech republic a good option for medicine

[round jacinth]

You’re good enough to do well whether you get in or not

[cedar hollow]

true, waitlist is cool

[round jacinth]

Even rejection

[cedar hollow]

although there are really limited seats available that can be offered

[round jacinth]

Like if you manage to be actually good enough to get admitted

[cedar hollow]

yall..

most prob even some of the best candidates might get rejected just due to not having enough seats

can anyone answer 😭

[round jacinth]

But not enough seats

You’re good enough to do well

[cedar hollow]

got no idea about czech

oh😭

[round jacinth]

Yeah that’s what I mean

[cedar hollow]

i do have a friend who's doing med there tho, his uni seems p cool

[round jacinth]

Idk anything about medicine

[cedar hollow]

no like i applied there right and ppl r telling me it’s islamophobic and everything 😭😭

you surely can check some dedicated subreddit for it to get concrete info

[cedar hollow]

depends on the area, but most prob no, its a p chill area

okok thanks fr

[cedar hollow]

[round jacinth]

These fuckers purposefully bring down admission rates i bet

[cedar hollow]

atp i'mma add more safety school to my list

can't be sure

[round jacinth]

It’s a good idea to

Diversify it

[cedar hollow]

feels rigged

[round jacinth]

It’s stupid bro💀

[cedar hollow]

at the end you're either gonne end up in corporate or work on smth of your own which can be done irrespective of which uni you are in

[round jacinth]

True

[cedar hollow]

would really love to get into stanford ONLY for the direct connections to silicon valley tho

[round jacinth]

[cedar hollow]

perfect stanford admit-

[round jacinth]

He’s not good w school

Only w computers

[round jacinth]

💀

[cedar hollow]

that's bad

as shit as it feels to say, being a nerd is important to get admitted

[round jacinth]

I mean

At the end of the day

These are like

Educational institutions

[cedar hollow]

true

ec's and interests are small parts compared to grades and test scores

[round jacinth]

Need all of it

[cedar hollow]

true

[hearty robin]

This is so true to someone at my school last year got a offer from imperial college london for mathematics and they were predicted ABB at A-levels for ucas

Like what

University really is just a game of luck sometimes

[round jacinth]

Bruh what

That’s gotta be bs

How tf lol

[hearty robin]

I thought so too when he told me but it's not he showed me the offer letter

He didn't get accepted though cause he didn't meet the entry requirements

[round jacinth]

Interesting

Maybe contextual admission

Or i forgot what

[hearty robin]

They gave him an aspirational offer

Idk why though

[cedar hollow]

he might have crazy ec's

or legacy maybe

[round jacinth]

Idt uk considers legacies

Or if ecs have that much of an influence

[cedar hollow]

true, always thought uk cares more about grades, test scores compared to ec's and other stuff

[worn dune]

what are some good ecs if i want to do medicine after my A-levels?

currently in AS level

[cedar hollow]

surely community service in local hospitals

[worn dune]

how do i get to do that

im in dubai, im not sure if students can do that

[cedar hollow]

am sure nthns wrong with offering help as long as your not performing the medical duties yourself

you could straight up go to your nearest hospitals and ask if i could volunteer/help out, or search for programs offering the same at your area

or check out a medical related research program, cold email some professors on linkedin/get email through any med uni, website who might be working on one, and ask if you could be a volunteer/intern at it

[tranquil summit]

You might be able to shadow a doctor if you know someone working in a hospital there already

[indigo oar]

oh everyone's doing an internship at this one hospital rn

give me a few minutes to find the name, my phone's having a software update

[worn dune]

okaiii

[worn dune]

im not sure if it counts like that i think it needs to be internationally accredited ig

not sure

[tranquil summit]

No not really

It's the experience that you talk about that's more important

[worn dune]

i seeee

[paper orchid]

For medical, you can try doing research with a professor(which is much harder) or join a research program. But getting an internship in a hospital or as a volunteer is great as well. These are the main 2 ngl. Other all ecs like volunteering, in any event, etc are not related to medical.

[indigo oar]

shit sorry i'm back now @worn dune

is nsfw allowed here

ok anyways

the hospital that everyone's doing internships at rn is called mohammed bin rashid academic medical center

sorry if this doesn't help

but i know like 10 different people from my school interning there rn

[main saffron]

[worn dune]

how do they start interning there

[indigo oar]

[zenith glade]

do i need maths as a subject in A levels to get into a German Automotive University? my subjects are:
Phy, Chem, Bio

[zenith glade]

.

[cedar hollow]

you need at least 110 ECT points including sciences maths and engineering sciences according to my sources

[zenith glade]

what's ECT points?

[cedar hollow]

it's the amount of credits needed to complete a course. assuming you'll be going in for masters. apart from a GRE, having A levels related to the topics you'll be taking, in this case (sciences maths and engineering sciences) would certainly boost your chances by a lot!

[zenith glade]

oh
