[cedar hollow]

[zenith glade]

i had 2 As 4Bs and 2 Ds in O levels

[turbid zealot]

It’s the same thing 👀

[zenith glade]

i'm dumb..

[cedar hollow]

👁️

[turbid zealot]

It’s fine

[turbid zealot]

Why the two Ds

[zenith glade]

um... why is everyone looking at me like that lol

[turbid zealot]

Was it languages

[zenith glade]

yep pakistan studies and islamiyat

[cedar hollow]

there's a formula to convert credits to ect

lemme kind

[zenith glade]

ok

[cedar hollow]

ECTS = credits_obtained * (60 * years_of_degree)/total_credits

[turbid zealot]

Makes sense but those As and Bs are great

[cedar hollow]

here

[cedar hollow]

fr tho

[turbid zealot]

Actually better than most 🔥

[zenith glade]

thanks

[cedar hollow]

goodluck mate

[turbid zealot]

What subjects did you take btw?

[zenith glade]

thanks

[safe owl]

Gave +1 rep to blaze#4135

[cedar hollow]

ofc ofc

[zenith glade]

A levels?

[turbid zealot]

Yes

And you talked about that question

[zenith glade]

Physics, Chemistry, Biology

[turbid zealot]

What you need to get to German automotive universities?

What exactly do you wanna do in automotive

Is it mechanical engineering

@zenith glade

[zenith glade]

I'm not sure about that tbh
and i'm still figuring out what i wanna do in automotive but i really like automotive tho and yes it is mechanical engineering

[turbid zealot]

Then I would recommend taking maths

Because it’s somewhat essential

I was checking universities in German

And yes

There are a lot in English

For this subject

But they require maths

Most of the times

So I say it’s better for you to take maths in some way

[zenith glade]

Maths is so hard 😭

[cedar hollow]

maths is like a prerequisite for most majors

isn't automotive and engineering degree

[turbid zealot]

Ik dude but for your dream it is necessary

[cedar hollow]

maths is at the core of it if that's the case

[paper orchid]

Even for being a janitor.😭

[turbid zealot]

Almost all engineering majors require mathematics

[zenith glade]

omg life is so hard, i just realized it

lol

[turbid zealot]

Ikr 😂

[zenith glade]

that's true 🥲

[cedar hollow]

gotta count the amount of sweeping in a day

[turbid zealot]

Btw did you just start as now?

[cedar hollow]

we'll get through this phase

pretty soon

[paper orchid]

Frfr, and the volume of water used.😔

[zenith glade]

please don't judge me, i started A levels in 2020...

[cedar hollow]

density of the moving water 😔

[zenith glade]

I hope so

[turbid zealot]

Oh I see so you have been repeating?

It’s fine

But if you can

[zenith glade]

Yeah

[turbid zealot]

I say take maths

[cedar hollow]

true

[zenith glade]

I failed back in 2021

Straight U(s) in Physics and Bio

[turbid zealot]

Oh it’s fine just work harder this time and for sure you will pass

[zenith glade]

Yes sir

[turbid zealot]

Physics I can understand 😂

[zenith glade]

yeah lmao

[turbid zealot]

But I hope you have been preparing this time

[zenith glade]

um.. life

people die i know

but damn my family is going too fast

[turbid zealot]

Yeah it’s hard but for this time we need to sacrifice for something greater in the future

[turbid zealot]

Oh I am so sorry

[zenith glade]

a lot of people in my family died in the last 2 years which made it almost impossible for me to study

it's fine, i'm back at it now but i have a shit ton of chapters left

[paper orchid]

Fr, the probability of the water spilling everytime a wheel on the bucket moves 1mm.

[turbid zealot]

Omg that’s horrible your reason is totally valid because it’s almost impossible to study in those conditions

[zenith glade]

2 may first Phy practical and i haven't even started 🥲

[zenith glade]

[turbid zealot]

You have time don’t give up

Binge

Tons of videos

For pracs of phy also memories the last question

[cedar hollow]

😭 😭

[zenith glade]

stop please, i wanna make study jokes too but dang it 😭

[zenith glade]

yeah lol

[paper orchid]

😭

[cursive merlin]

Just memorise the first one “two readings not enough to draw a valid conclusions” and for improvement to that say that “take more readings, compare constant (in the question) values and plot a graph”

And when it involves measuring distance and no set square is given, make comments about set square in the improvements

If it involves measuring time in Q2, mention about using a camera to record the experiment and measuring frame and frame to measure time

If it involves measuring an angle with protractor, say that u need to take picture of the experiment and measure the angle on the computer by drawing lines where the angle is made and using a software to measure the angle

Or alternatively u could describe how u could use trig to calculate the angle but that requires a lot more detail

And also as soon as u see a limitation , record it at the last Q

[desert veldt]

practicals you could use pmt,gcse guide notes.z notes as well. There's this guy on youtube called chriz gozzard. he has quite a few videos to get those easy marks...although some points he states are outdated on

[granite prawn]

How much does applying regular affect your chances of getting into UK universities? As opposed to early applications.

[cedar hollow]

There are no early applications on UCAS

The only thing similar is the oxbridge deadline which usually around mid October instead of the standard deadline of Jan 26 ish

[granite prawn]

Oh! Okay, thank you so much!

[burnt fox]

there isn’t much difference, but the earlier u apply the earlier they would decide ur place :)

Does anyone know if AS resits affects your chances of getting into universities?

[main saffron]

of course they do

in some unis you can get admitted with AS

But even if you have bad AS you can recompensate by doing good in A2

[granite prawn]

i meant resitting an as exam

not the results

[young whale]

Should I apply for university all by myself or should I let organizations such as IDP apply for me instead?

[tranquil summit]

I did it myself and it was perfectly fine but there's nothing wrong with going through them either

[young whale]

Would I, say have a high chance of receiving a scholarship if I went through organisation such as these?

[tranquil summit]

Nope

They might expose you to scholarships that already exist but otherwise no

[fleet vine]

Well yea chances are high ig but then they can also take a certain commission out of the scholarship, so your scholarship would be of smaller amount, from what I heard

And sometimes what happens is they promote universities that pay them to advertise to us

So they could also give fasle recommendations as a source of money from these unis

[young whale]

oh I see

I'm mainly concerned about scholarship since I already made a list on uni I want to go

[blazing spruce]

Hello anybody going to Warwick University or currently studying there?

[bitter gyro]

Anyone on how to pursue virology or immunology? Google is being pretty vague 😭
For starters, I don't even know what degree I should be taking-

[thick copper]

is anyone going to Netherlands?

[main saffron]

Erling haaland is

[cedar hollow]

guys a question my igcses were lowkey not so good my subjects were (physics maths english chem and bio) but i passed but still low grades now im focusing alot on AS and switched to business and two completly other subjects and literally aiming for an A but not lower than a C hopefully please pray for me and hopefully i can do good in A2 too does it really matter my igcse results for abroad universties?

[paper orchid]

If you manage you get great Alevel grades then hardly, they will check them but your main are Alevel ones but if you aiming for universities like Cambridge etc then yeah they matter a lit bit more compared to universities like in USA.

[cedar hollow]

okay thank u so much:))

[worn dune]

can anyone pls walk me thru what is UCAS and what does it do and how and when should i apply? interested in medicine btw

[hearty robin]

If you are applying for medicine

Wait

What year you applying for medicine

For what entry

[worn dune]

um maybe 2024 or 2025

i was thinking to take a gap year maybe

[hearty robin]

If you are going into 2024 September

[worn dune]

im doing my AS levels rn

[hearty robin]

You need to apply for university in England for UCAS by October 15th 2023 of this year

Cause

Medicine deadline is earlier

Than

Other degree programmes

[hearty robin]

Also

You do biology + chemistry right

What universities are you considering

[worn dune]

yeppp

i do

[worn dune]

nottingham

birmingham

the rest idk

[hearty robin]

You need to take the UCAT exams before you submit your ucas application for medicine

So basically the summer before

Or in Early Autumn

@worn dune I suggest you focus on biology + chemistry a lot

And aim for A’s in AS-levels

Otherwise your chances of getting into medicine is slim

[worn dune]

whats that like

and what do i need to get

[kindred timber]

yes another medicine.

[kindred timber]

the average score for the ucat is around 2500 but if u wanna get into competitive medicine schools like KCL imperial or ucl

u need above average score

also since u are doing AS u have bmat as well

some unis look at ucat and some look at bmat u need to decide which one u prefer

[kindred timber]

nah u need to aim for at least A*AA to get somewhat of a chance

the absolute barebones offer is AAA but typically most medicine applicants have 1 A* or 2

like around 20% of all applicants a bit less acc will have triple A*

[vapid fern]

Hey guys, has anyone received their conditional offer from KCL? I'm yet to hear from them.

[worn dune]

i heard from my friend that next year unis wont look into bmat

only ucat

[kindred timber]

yes for the current year 11s not for the year 12s

[worn dune]

i see, thank you!

Hey, Just asking, What will I need to go into LSE?

I'm planning on getting perfect grades and writing TMUA

[turbid zealot]

Did you get your reply yet?

[lime heart]

this guy was right

so yeah I died

[lime heart]

mhm

[turbid zealot]

Did you get it?

[modern flame]

:/

[modern flame]

that’s quite sad

[turbid zealot]

Because I checked the website apparently they give replies as late as the result day 💀

[lime heart]

well

I did apply for a competitive major

3 A levels ain't enough

[turbid zealot]

Which major?

[lime heart]

I actually take 4 tho but one of them is not stem related

[lime heart]

Biomedical Engineering

I don't understand tho

like why do so many people take it

[turbid zealot]

Hmmmm

[modern flame]

fair enough

[turbid zealot]

But I am pretty sure they send rejection letters

And haven’t got one yet 👀

Got one from imperial quick

[modern flame]

👀

[lime heart]

I got it so late lmao

oh well

we can still apply there for masters

[lime heart]

wait is it even harder tho

[turbid zealot]

And it’s cheaper and scholarships 🔥

[lime heart]

oooo

[turbid zealot]

Hmmm depends on what you do in your undergrad

You study good and graduate with amazing gpa

Then ez

[lime heart]

idt uk uses gpa

[turbid zealot]

If not then it’s harder

[lime heart]

it's like the honours degree first class, second class ,etc

[turbid zealot]

Oh don’t know about that tbh 🤷‍♂️

[lime heart]

eh ig it's the same about gpa scores

[turbid zealot]

I see

[lime heart]

how am I supposed to enjoy college

[turbid zealot]

So any unis give you acceptance letters

[turbid zealot]

Ikr

[lime heart]

so far it's like cardiff and reading

[turbid zealot]

Oh I also applied to Cardiff but applied as masters and someone ik to change and he forgot

So Cardiff is out

[lime heart]

wait what

so someone messed up ur application??

[turbid zealot]

I messed it up 💀

[lime heart]

How??

oh well I mean u got into other better places right?

[turbid zealot]

A few

Got into durham

[lime heart]

ay that's still good

[turbid zealot]

Trent in Canada
Monash in Malaysia

[lime heart]

wait

r u from malaysia then?

[turbid zealot]

Nope

[lime heart]

oh why not australia tho? thought monash was from there

[turbid zealot]

Went for the cheaper alternative

[lime heart]

ah makes sense...

what else r u still waiting for?

[turbid zealot]

Not anything else

Only ucl and Manchester

Manchester didn’t even send me a single email

Feel like they forgot me

[lime heart]

I hope u applied to the right manchester xd

I sent a letter once to ucl but ended up going to some other uni also called ucl in denmark

[turbid zealot]

Yes the right one I checked

[lime heart]

ah ok that's good lol

well good luck for ur pending ones

I'm still waiting for kcl

[turbid zealot]

You too

[turbid zealot]

Ooooo good luck man

[lime heart]

Thanks

[safe owl]

Gave +1 rep to greenfalcon#1104

[tranquil summit]

yeah no i thought so too but masters scholarships are mostly from countries, not from depts

or maybe its just for my case idk

[turbid zealot]

I seee

[tranquil summit]

uom admin is fucked

they will not care about you any more once youre here

can guarantee

[tranquil summit]

then again im looking for a case where most masters are in research and not taught so thats a big part

i dont regret coming to manchester but also wouldnt really recommend it

what courses did you guys apply for?

[turbid zealot]

Physics

[lime heart]

wait why tho I'm curious

[tranquil summit]

NO

DONT DO IT

DONT BE ME

[tranquil summit]

admin is a piece of shit

tbh tho any top ranked uni has shit mental health

so uom isnt specific in that regard

but uom doesnt do very well with mental health

it doesnt seem like a big issue but my mental health tanked almost entirely bec of the degree

[worn dune]

do i need 4A levels to apply in medicine? or is 3 enough

[tranquil summit]

depends on the country

[worn dune]

UK?

[paper orchid]

3 is enough.

But if you have 4, then ur 3 best will be considered.

[worn dune]

wb USA?

or any European country like Germany, Finland, etc?

[kindred timber]

3 is necessary and 4 doesn’t give u an advtange

If u think u can get 4 A* go for it but if u can’t stick to 3 and focus on getting good in bio chem and third subject

[flint rune]

Ikr, my doctorate friend in Physics said dont do pure science💀

[lime heart]

it kinda does tho

like people who ik got accepted to imperial or ucl took like 4-5 subjects

[flint rune]

No reason to take 5, maximum you should take if you dont wanna do 3 is 4

My friend got into Imperial with 4

[paper orchid]

Yea 4 is good enough.

[kindred timber]

Trust me for medicine it doesn’t

For other courses like engineering and finance sure but for medicine they just want at least A*AA minimum

They prioritise ur UCAT score

And bmat score a lot

[lime heart]

oh I just knew that

[kindred timber]

Ye

[raw belfry]

Is university of illinois at urbana-champaign good for Electrical and electronics engineering or computer science?

and also can anyone suggest to me some good ECAs of various kinds that universities appreciate, pls?

[cedar hollow]

does an A* in english general paper count bcs i have 5(including egp) and none that i want to drop

[full bay]

hi anyone doing law?

[cloud estuary]

Most unis don't consider English general as a proper subject

[cedar hollow]

so if i want to go for physics and philosophy at Oxford if i were to get an A* in physics and maths and an A in english general it wouldn't count?

i do have two other subjects as well where i think i'll do good but hypothetically

[cloud estuary]

If physics, math and English general were your only subjects it'd be bad yea

When you apply they'll consider the results of the 4 actual subjects first and foremost

So you can't make up for a B in smth with A in english general or smth

[granite prawn]

I believe egp is an AS level only qualification so you can't get an A* in it, the highest grade is A. And because it's not a full A level, Unis don't count it as such

[cedar hollow]

what would be the grade requirements for getting into the university of toronto

i plan on taking chemical engineering btw

[paper orchid]

Get all A*, or A and A star.

[lofty bane]

it's that stringent?

[paper orchid]

It's #1 in canada, what do you expect?

[lofty bane]

I mean, from what I've read on r/uoft, not that much lol

[paper orchid]

Welp, I have some friends there as my sis knows some and most of them got A* soo.

[lofty bane]

my brother studies there, he got all a*s i think

then again he also got accepted into a bunch of really good unis so idk

[paper orchid]

Then why are you asking here, just tell ur brother to ask the people there.

[lofty bane]

he outright said he doesn't know lmao

[paper orchid]

💀

[lofty bane]

best brother in the world ik

[paper orchid]

Frfr.

[lofty bane]

he did ask his friend who studies at ubc though, the requirements are 3bs and 1a lmao

[lofty bane]

why he asked him, i will never know 💀

[paper orchid]

[cloud estuary]

I wanna go to ubc

[paper orchid]

Every pakistani wanna go to canada or usa.💀

(Same here, lmfao.)

[cloud estuary]

Everyone wants to escape pak

[paper orchid]

So true frrr.

You in A2 or AS?

[cloud estuary]

A2

[paper orchid]

Damn, so already applied?

[cloud estuary]

Nah I'm private candidate so I gotta wait for A2 results

Since predicted grades aren't a thing for me

[paper orchid]

Oh shit- Fair fair.

[cloud estuary]

Yea kinda sucks cuz of fomo but this way i got more time to prep for living alone n shit

Need to get drivers license etc

[paper orchid]

Yea that's true.

Will you give SAT?

Do they even require it?

[cloud estuary]

I already gave it once but I think it mightve expired by now

[cloud estuary]

Nah not important at all for canadian unis

[paper orchid]

It lasts for 5 years for most unis.

[cloud estuary]

Ah okay then should be fine

[paper orchid]

What did you get?👀

[paper orchid]

Ah yea that's what I heard.

[cloud estuary]

1390. I'm slow with math lol

[paper orchid]

Damn, not that bad of a score.

How do u do eng tho.

[cloud estuary]

Yea scores decent enough for most places I think

[paper orchid]

Yepp.

[cloud estuary]

Bro get the sat prep black book

English becomes really ez

[paper orchid]

Damn, sure then gonna do that after exams.

Thank you.

[void glen]

I miss the SAT

it was actually fun

[silver dove]

isnt mcgill better i heard from my friend

[paper orchid]

[verbal ridge]

I am pretty sure McGill is ranked No.1 in Canada according to most of the rankings but ig rankings don’t really matter much considering that the top 4 unis in Canada have similar standards

[paper orchid]

Yep that is, all the top 4-5 unis are great equally ngl, but getting in is hard.

Wha-

Um okay.

[verbal ridge]

Sorry for that…so did you apply to those unis this year?

[paper orchid]

I am still in AS, so will apply next year.

Wbu?

[verbal ridge]

Yeah I did

[paper orchid]

Ah, goodluck with the results!

Did you get any acceptance till now?

[cloud estuary]

Totally thought u were in A2

You got all the roles lmao

[paper orchid]

I am doing math A2 rn.

Lmao.

[verbal ridge]

Yeah I have most of them waiting for one more

[paper orchid]

Waterloo?

[verbal ridge]

Lol yeah

[paper orchid]

Ah my friend is waiting for that as well.

[cloud estuary]

Waterloo is great for cs but according to my friends in canada living there kinda sucks

[verbal ridge]

Notorious for keeping their applicants waiting until mid-may especially CS

[paper orchid]

Yep the living conditions are harsher.

[verbal ridge]

Really? I heard that about UofT or rather UofTears

[cloud estuary]

Looool that's why ubc is my number one option

Man I wanna get into a good enough uni but not the best uni does that make sense

[verbal ridge]

What do they say about others like McGill or UBC?

Or UofA

[cloud estuary]

So tired of this studying bs ppl forget that once u get into elite uni u gotta study ur ass off another 4 years

[cloud estuary]

Alberta is not as diverse as other places so u gotta keep that in mind if you're poc

[paper orchid]

Man, we get a 4 months break after A2, that's something atleast.

[verbal ridge]

Tbf in my opinion there’s the elite universities like the ivies, MIT, Stanford, Oxbridge then there’s the top universities so your logic makes sense as getting into the elite is pretty tough

[cloud estuary]

McGill is prestigious but its also regarded as old in a sense

But tbh any of these unis are good enough I think u should consider other factors such as the city, living conditions, dorms and faculty etc

Rather than just going off the name alone

[paper orchid]

Anything is better then pak, frr.

[cloud estuary]

Speaking from experience going to a "elite" institution isn't that great of an experience once the novelty wears off. Better to have a well rounded uni experience where you can make different friends and try out various stuff

I don't wanna spend all my uni life holed up studying

[verbal ridge]

True need to find the best fit for yourself

[paper orchid]

Ngl, that also does depend on the major you decide.

[cloud estuary]

Yeah but desi ppl have very shallow understanding of such stuff imo. Like uncle aunties judge by name alone don't even consider anything else

[cloud estuary]

True true. I know I could never do something like medical

[paper orchid]

Don't get me started on the relatives.

[cloud estuary]

Lmao bro its so fucking annoying

[paper orchid]

I honestly love bio and medical but I still won't do it lmao.

[cloud estuary]

Farigh ppl istg

[paper orchid]

ISTGGG, like fuck off and see ur own children.

[cloud estuary]

Why they gotta turn everything into a competition

[paper orchid]

That's the entire desi society fr.

[cloud estuary]

And they condition u so much u can't even be truly happy at other ppls achievements anymore

It's the worst when it's between siblings especially

[paper orchid]

Like you don't get time to be happy even.

[paper orchid]

FRRR.

My father everyday says atleast reach ur sister's level.💀

Like bro even my sis says I will get into a much better uni then her.

[cloud estuary]

My brother is 10 yrs younger than me lol so there's no direct competition but so many of my friends have strained relationship with their siblings cuz of bs like this

[paper orchid]

Damn, he is lucky lmao.

[cloud estuary]

Oh man I remember in o levels my cousin got 9 A*s

And my parents were being soooo salty

[paper orchid]

That's so messed up istg.

[cloud estuary]

Like bruh i got 6A stars just be happy wtf will change with 9A stars it's literally the same shit

[paper orchid]

IKRRR.

Desi parents.😔

[cloud estuary]

Acting like those 3 A stars gonna change my life

[paper orchid]

And that unis will never even see igcse grades.

Lmao.

[cloud estuary]

Exactly it's so funny

[verbal ridge]

Y’all are from Pakistan?

[cloud estuary]

Aye

[paper orchid]

Yep.

||Sadly.||

[verbal ridge]

Doing CS I see…heard of PapersDock?

[cloud estuary]

His notes only thing that's gonna help me pass p4

[verbal ridge]

Lol I am still using his lectures to read p3 my teacher didn’t cover shit 💀 I still have like 1 more topic to cover yet

[cloud estuary]

Another thing that pisses me off is when older desi ppl will be like oh I heard so and so is abroad and they're not happy at all its really not so great

[paper orchid]

Very stupid question but, is it possible to do cs in 1 year(from june to april) with 6 other Alevels...?

[cloud estuary]

But notice how that so and so doesn't ever come back to pak hmmm

[verbal ridge]

6 Alevels? What?

[paper orchid]

BRO IKRRRR THAT'S SO ANNOYING .

[paper orchid]

Like fam have u seen pak who tf will even come here.

[paper orchid]

Yea.. lol.

[cloud estuary]

I feel like the book covers p3 pretty well (I'm self studying everything rip)

[verbal ridge]

Are you serious fam? Like do you ever even sleep? 😭 that’s crazy

[cedar hollow]

that's wild man

[paper orchid]

I mean I have done many many sleepless nights but ehhh.

[cloud estuary]

I'd say no cuz AS cs is quite hard especially pseudocode and there's quite a lot of syllabus

[verbal ridge]

Yeah am self studying p3 also and p4 is just scary but anyways I have like 10 days before the exam so hope to use those properly to complete revision

[cloud estuary]

Yeah I got 9 day gap tg

[cedar hollow]

question, what are the equivalent for A levels but for grad degrees 🙏

[paper orchid]

Oh- should I still give it a try?

[cedar hollow]

or are there any

[verbal ridge]

Yeah those are gonna be so helpful especially with PapersDock notes he literally puts stuff that comes in exams

[cloud estuary]

Tbh I haven't even revised cs much cuz I'm so busy with math and Chem rn I'm counting on those 9 days

[paper orchid]

Wdym?

[verbal ridge]

Tbh no CS p2 is probably the hardest A-Level paper and people don’t even study p1 in AS they put all their concentration on p2 coz it’s really hard

[cloud estuary]

Mmm you can but really it's abt quality over quantity. 4A*s are better than 6Bs

[cloud estuary]

Lmao this dude next to me was full on sobbing when our p2 ended

[paper orchid]

Don't do me like that, I already got 1 A.

[cedar hollow]

for someone who will be applying for masters, are there any hard courses i can take that you possibly know of 👀

[cloud estuary]

I left like 20 marks but still got an A it was that bad

[paper orchid]

Oh damn- shit, alright makes sense.

Thank you both of u.

[paper orchid]

Ah, I have no idea about those.

[cloud estuary]

Colleges offer short term diplomas so you should look into that

[cedar hollow]

oooh i will check 👀

[cloud estuary]

You can take a 6month course in smth related to your masters subject

[cedar hollow]

damn tho

i'll look into it, ty

[void glen]

you will cry if you don’t study

a lot

[silver dove]

huh really

u just need a good set of preds bro

after they accept u, u can even flunk ur exam

as long as u dont fail

[cedar hollow]

hi i am confuuuuused

[hard socket]

abt what?

[cedar hollow]

if i should go to oxford for UG or IIT for UG and then to oxford for masters

[granite prawn]

I suppose it depends on what you want to major in

And what kind of living and study environment you want

[hard socket]

well oxford is tough to get into

[granite prawn]

IIT is too!

[hard socket]

easier than oxford

[granite prawn]

Perhaps

[hard socket]

oxford has an interview and an test, both of them known to be one of the hardest in the world

[paper orchid]

Nah, IIT is harder then oxford.

[hard socket]

IIT is just interview with grades

[granite prawn]

IIT is entrance based

[paper orchid]

Yep.

[hard socket]

not if you have IGCSE/A levels

then you submit your grades

I saw people getting in with perfect A level grades

[granite prawn]

Isn't that only if you're an NRI?

[hard socket]

not rlly

you are not allowed to take JEE if you are not in CBSE

one of JEE's requirements is being in CBSE

[cedar hollow]

what

no?

[granite prawn]

That's not true

state board, icse?

[cedar hollow]

anyone can take iit regardless of their board lmfaoo

[granite prawn]

Anyone can write it

[hard socket]

my bad, these as well

[cedar hollow]

fact checker 🔪

[granite prawn]

Yeah so there's no board requirement

[hard socket]

my bad then, but IIT is relatively easier than oxford

[cedar hollow]

try iit for ug, it stands out a lot. IIT is hella reputed

[cloud estuary]

Why don't you apply to oxford and see if you get in first? Or have you already been accepted

[hard socket]

especially for indians

[cedar hollow]

with a 0.5% acceptance rate? 😭

hundreds of students kill themselves for this damn exam

[hard socket]

ahh wow

[cedar hollow]

no way u said easy and iit in the same sentence

[hard socket]

best option is to apply to both and then see

[cloud estuary]

No harm in applying lol even if u decide not to go in the end

[cedar hollow]

real

[cloud estuary]

That is if u get accepted

[granite prawn]

fr

[cloud estuary]

With oxford n stuff it depends on luck anyways no matter how good your grades are

[cedar hollow]

be sure to give both jee's tho

[granite prawn]

Yeah like you can see once you get in, that is unless you already did

[cedar hollow]

in case you don't get into any iits, you can always apply to nits and bits

[cloud estuary]

Yeah make sure to apply to some safety unis as well in case

[granite prawn]

Yeah and there's a lot of factors:

[cloud estuary]

Not a smart idea to only apply to places with really low acceptance rates

[paper orchid]

The guy who started this left, lmao.💀

[granite prawn]

What kind of crowd you want to be around, flexibility of courses, living area, cost

[cloud estuary]

[cedar hollow]

we gotta argue tho

[granite prawn]

[cedar hollow]

discuss*

[paper orchid]

Oxford has a higher rate of acceptance.💀

I think so.

[cedar hollow]

harvard is 8 times easier than iit

[paper orchid]

Fr lmao.

[cedar hollow]

(according to google)

[paper orchid]

Even MIT.

[granite prawn]

My dad went to IIT, it's been over 30 years since he graduated and he still gets jobs from his IIT classmates

[paper orchid]

💀💀

[cedar hollow]

no way

[granite prawn]

Fr

[cedar hollow]

[granite prawn]

Yeah that network is so powerful

[cedar hollow]

[granite prawn]

[paper orchid]

Frrr.

You can also get into harvard if u got a damn rich daddy who gives some hundred million for a building.

[cedar hollow]

[paper orchid]

But IIT.💀

[cedar hollow]

[granite prawn]

frr

[paper orchid]

Ikr.

Did you guys hear the news?

[cedar hollow]

[granite prawn]

0.5% acceptance rate is crazy tho

[granite prawn]

competetive is an understatement

[cedar hollow]

[lofty bane]

what's the acceptance rate for lse

[cedar hollow]

8.8%

[hard socket]

How did he get in? 💀

[hard socket]

it's lower than that

more like 6%

UK unis dont care abt SAT

like they completly ignore it

[lofty bane]

do they put any sort of emphasis on ecs then

[hard socket]

not at all, UK unis only care abt grades

but now it's much more competitive

so they are starting to look at other things

[cedar hollow]

idk hes smart asf so

[hard socket]

must have been his personal statement

[cedar hollow]

hmm

what do you want to go to lse for

[hard socket]

Biz + IT

[cedar hollow]

hmmmmm

noice

[lofty bane]

[cedar hollow]

what uni are you aiming for @lofty bane

[hard socket]

as of now

1. LSE

2. ---

3. ---

4. Uni of Leeds
5. Uni of Bath

[lofty bane]

Toronto, probably
I'll most likely end up at UBC so

[hard socket]

I'm also applying to uni of Sydney and melbourne uni, both of these are backups

[hard socket]

oh UofT, Nice

you can apply to UIUC as well then

[lofty bane]

Yeah that's the 2nd choice

[hard socket]

What abt CMU?

UCB?

[lofty bane]

Don't think I'll get into either of those tbh

my brother got rejected from cmu

and he got really good grades

[cedar hollow]

what course do you want to take upp

[lofty bane]

chemical engineering most probably

i'm 90% sure on that

[cedar hollow]

oh wow

[hard socket]

it's been a long time since I saw ppl doing this

[cedar hollow]

thats so cool

a person i know is a chemical engineer

very smart

[lofty bane]

my 2nd choice was biomedical engineering lmao so

[lofty bane]

there's new applications for it with the whole renewable energy thing so

[cedar hollow]

so its even harder so youre even smarter

so cool

[lofty bane]

what're your choices for uni @cedar hollow

[lofty bane]

my 3rd choice was to become a historian lmao

[hard socket]

started good, went okay then turned into hitler

[cedar hollow]

IIT , NID , Oxford , and some polytechnics at Germany

[lofty bane]

oh noice noice

[cedar hollow]

Acceptance rate will even decrease

[hard socket]

yes janitor? need some cleaning supplies?
