#

ah so sat shouldnt be a problem yet

faint pulsar
#

Nope most universities are test optional now

feral scaffold
#

cause i got like 800 in maths but struggling with sat english section

faint pulsar
#

Ahh same

feral scaffold
#

yeah but people worldwide are making it a bit more challenging

#

i dont think they will accept you if you dont show up your sat's

faint pulsar
#

If you get a good SAT score then send it but if you dont then dont send it

#

Nah Ik people who got in without SATs

feral scaffold
#

dude why english is there!!!

#

isnt toefl enough

faint pulsar
#

Idk

#

Ik someone who got into harvard without submitting an SAT score so im sure its possible

feral scaffold
#

i mean applying in ivy league without sat's is fine??

faint pulsar
#

yeah ig

feral scaffold
#

you gonna apply this sep?

fast thicket
#

Lol all my A*'s just converted to 4.0, so no difference for A vs A*

#

But I guess you could declare that A* is 4.3 and count it that way, if the uni has no rules for it

#

While US has SATs for high school, the rest of the world takes IGCSE 😂

cedar hollow
#

I've committed to McGill University! pepedance

dark vigil
#

Nice!

faint pulsar
#

Ohh congrats!

#

What is your conditional offer?

faint pulsar
cedar hollow
#

Thanks guys!

faint pulsar
#

Oh

cedar hollow
#

why?

faint pulsar
#

Coz in the website it says A*AA for engineering

cedar hollow
#

well I have 4 subjects

#

my predicted has 2A* and 2A so that's my conditional offer

faint pulsar
#

Yeah

cerulean pivot
#

Hi guys

#

I want to apply to a university in canada or the usa?

#

Which one will best if i want a full ride

#

For cs

slow violet
#

Can you be less vague~

cerulean pivot
#

sorry?

#

i meant

#

i wan to study cs at a canadian or usa uni

vague atlas
#

why dont you look into computer engineering?

cerulean pivot
#

i just finished my A2 level exams

cerulean pivot
#

i have 3 subjects

#

physics chemistry and mathematics

vague atlas
#

i think an engineering degree has more opportunities than one in science

cerulean pivot
#

okay

vague atlas
#

and those subjects are fine for you to be admitted to any type of engineering field

#

if you'll be studying at a good place and have to leave your country, better to have a degree that has more opportunities to match the investment you're putting in

cerulean pivot
#

so you mean like

#

cybersecurity

#

ai

#

and stuff?

vague atlas
#

computer engineering

cerulean pivot
#

oh ok

vague atlas
#

but you can explore those options as well if you like them

#

i said computer engineering because you mentioned computer science

cerulean pivot
#

yeah

#

i mainly wanted to do cs

#

then maybe shiftto cyber sec or ai or information tech

vague atlas
#

just be sure to find a degree compatible with types of jobs you can work in as well

cerulean pivot
#

yeah thanks

#

so for computer science or information tech which uni will best

#

that has more flexible scholarships

#

a full ride would be best

vague isle
#

Kinda scared for computer engineers ngl cuz the supply for computer engineering and different types of it is kind of increasing in Canada what if by the time yall graduate they alr have enough and the wages decrease due to less demand just sharing my overthinking thoughts im sorry ill go away now cjcnfnd

cedar hollow
#

Full ride is not possible

#

Unless you have a Nobel peace prize

#

Which you likely don't so max scholership you will get if you have normal extracurricular's is about 4 thousand dollars

#

I assume you are an international applicant

#

Bursaries are available which are financial need based

#

So you would have to show your household income is less than an X amount

#

The maximum merit based scholership that I've seen is 180K cad dollars

#

And iirc that still wasnt a free ride

#

Usa will be harder if you want even a little financial aid imo

cerulean pivot
#

Yeah

#

True

cerulean pivot
cedar hollow
#

go ahead

faint pulsar
#

There are a few merit scholarships for canadian universities but they arent full ride.

#

Hi. What A level grades would be considered competitive if I want to get into University of McMaster or Western University of Ontario computer science?

#

I mean what should I be targeting

#

Any help would be appreciated 😀

cedar hollow
#

Or at least 1 out of 3

#

So typically A* A* A A

tulip copper
#

A* A A works?

#

Or perhaps A * A* A?

#

Cause im only doing 3 subjects

cedar hollow
#

Yeah

cedar hollow
#

Nice

tulip copper
#

Great. Thanks for the help

#

This is a IVY league decision simulator for Harvard college. click once anywhere. this is based on actual percentages of acceptances

#

But it may not be 100% accurate.

#

Try your luck haha

cedar hollow
#

pog

cedar hollow
#

Is it hard to get accepted in canadians unis?

cedar hollow
#

It all depends on your grades and personal essays

#

I'm having A levels next year
and my grades aren't bad nor excellent (O levels and AS levels)

#

aiming for CS or Software engineering

#

do they need competitive grades

wraith elk
cedar hollow
#

Most of the UNI's I searched for have a minimum requirement of grade C my grades fall between A and B.

cedar hollow
#

Yes

#

For waterloo which is one of the top ranked unis for cs

#

You need coding experience

#

Good grades like many Astars

#

And you need a good AIF

#

Which is like the personal profile

#

You need coding experience otherwise you can't apply

#

There is a space where they ask you to lost your coding experience on the AIF

#

@cedar hollow

#

You would need at least 2A*'s

#

@cedar hollow coding wise I'm good I have a good experience with programming. Academically, not so sure my O levels were in 5 subjects with 2A* 1A 2B

#

However I'm not applying for waterloo, tuitions are above my budget boundaries

#

I was thinking university of Manitoba, Calgary, or memorial

#

Oh okay

#

You can apply for financial aid at Waterloo if you want

#

Otherwise Manitoba and Calgary are great as well

#

Also look into Alberta maybe

#

I've been thinking about getting financial aid but as I said I don't have excellent grades so not sure if I would be able to get it. Alberta is also expensive tbh

#

Oh

#

Aight

#

How about McMaster?

#

You can get bursaries

faint pulsar
#

What type of experience do they expect for programming?

#

Also Which canadian universities give good scholarships to international students other than UBC and Utoronto?

cedar hollow
#

It's usually there on the website

cedar hollow
#

That info there on the website

cedar hollow
cedar hollow
faint pulsar
cedar hollow
#

All do give scholership

#

Toronto and UBC are actually harder ones to get scholership

#

Imo

cedar hollow
#

Makes no sense tbh

#

Hold on

#

@cedar hollow

#

Thats odd ngl, I barely see such requirements in many other unis

#

But if it is a really competitive uni then I guess its understandable, Looking for the really bright ones.

#

I mean

#

It's like taking bio in 12yh grade before going for biomedical sciences in uni

#

You have to take cs courses/IT courses in 12 th before going for comp sci

#

It's like requiring physics in 12th before going into astrophysics for uni

#

That makes sense but they are asking for experience and to be exact "strong performance", which you honestly don't expect from anyone wishing to study in such course.

#

If it is normal to ask for this experience you would see it as a common requirement but I rarely something like that.

faint pulsar
cedar hollow
#

Does it have programming?

faint pulsar
#

Yeah javascript

cedar hollow
#

Yeah then ig yes

faint pulsar
#

Ah okay

cedar hollow
#

is IT considered as a legit accepted subject in Canada? In most of Europe countries they do not really recognise it.

faint pulsar
#

Wht they dont accept it?

#

ik they dont accept it in the UK

cedar hollow
#

nah if its offered by Cambridge international then it is accepted

mellow venture
#

Maybe in canada its diff

#

But this requirement is super odd

cedar hollow
#

well I just sent an ss above

cedar hollow
mellow venture
#

They usually ask for high maths requirements

cedar hollow
#

yes that is there + previous experience

mellow venture
#

And then general grades

cedar hollow
#

but it should be a pre-req course right

mellow venture
#

Nope

cedar hollow
#

like some kind of prgramming

#

but

mellow venture
#

Most unis dont ask for it

cedar hollow
#

i see

#

ok

mellow venture
#

Ive seen a bunch of comp sci courses

#

Even waterloo didnt ask for comp sci

#

As a pre requisite

#

Side note: fuck waterloo

cedar hollow
#

im not saying comp sci as a pre-req

#

im saying some kind of programming experience

#

you cant have comp sci as a pre requisite

cedar hollow
mellow venture
cedar hollow
#

lol

mellow venture
cedar hollow
#

that doesnt mean the uni is bad

mellow venture
#

Ik it isnt bad

#

I never said that

#

Jus fuck waterloo

cedar hollow
#

lol aight

#

@mellow venture

mellow venture
#

Yeah nah thats really weird

cedar hollow
#

if you didnt take any programming courses (IT, etc) what would you write here

cedar hollow
#

lul

mellow venture
#

“I have no experience lmao 🖕🏼”

#

Theyre supposed to teach this stuff

cedar hollow
#

ok but look at it this way

mellow venture
#

Unless its more specialized like data science

#

Cuz data structures and algorithms

#

Is uni level stuff

cedar hollow
#

yeah so they directly teach you that uni level

mellow venture
#

But its a part of a2 computer science

cedar hollow
#

they expect people they expect have some knowledge of coding

mellow venture
#

So wtf sorta experience u getting for 4 months?

cedar hollow
#

what?

#

4 months?

mellow venture
#

Imo u shouldnt need experience in coding

#

To get into comp sci

#

Because of the fact that its mostly maths and physics driven

cedar hollow
#

well

#

yes thats an opinion

mellow venture
#

I mean i checked waterloo

#

And they said experience is only complementary

cedar hollow
#

imo its a good pre-req to have cause it allows all students to be on a common ground/level when in first year

mellow venture
#

Not a base requirement

cedar hollow
cedar hollow
#

it says "required"

mellow venture
#

Wait software engineering

#

Or comp sci?

cedar hollow
#

what were you talking about

#

comp sci?

mellow venture
#

Comp sci

cedar hollow
#

bruh

mellow venture
cedar hollow
#

lmao aight then

mellow venture
#

Rip now it makes sense

cedar hollow
#

ye

mellow venture
#

Software engineering is specialized

cedar hollow
#

yep

mellow venture
#

Sorry luluDepressed

#

Got carried away

cedar hollow
#

hehehe no no i should have been more clear as well as to what i was talking about

#

i misunderstood as well

mellow venture
#

Its alr

cedar hollow
#

ur right about comp sci

#

no coding experience required

#

just maths and english basically

#

like you said

mellow venture
#

Phew

#

I prefer comp sci so thats what i checked

cedar hollow
#

are you gonna apply to other canadian unis?

cedar hollow
#

Honestly I can't see what is the major difference between the two courses.

#

research

#

there is a difference

cedar hollow
#

There is a difference but not a major one.
That is why you can work as a software engineer but with a CS degree.

#

I guess cs is more generalised. Software eng is only software oriented.

mellow venture
#

CS is like way more about fundamentals

#

Delving into how things work

#

Algorithms

#

Data structures

#

Why and how to make things efficient

#

Software engineering is more based around building software

cedar hollow

Waterloo is expensive but they have coop so you can pay like 50% of your tuition with co op earnings lol

cedar hollow

^^^^

cedar hollow
faint pulsar
#

lol true

tiny lagoon
#

Agh why are unis so expensive? Who is funding for education so less ? We are trying to get a stable future ;-;

cedar hollow
faint pulsar
#

If you dont want expensive uni just go to europe lol

#

its pretty affordable there

hidden forum
#

Yeah true

#

Universities in Europe are a fraction of the ones in Canada

#

Look at Germany, Norway, Poland, etc

hi

#

university asks for my AS result + Trial test for application

#

i score 3A* and A for AS

#

but i completely messed up trial exam for A2

#

does it affect my conditional offer?

#

does trial exam grades matter a lot?

cedar hollow
#

It could potentially

#

How much did you get if I may ask

bright vault
#

average like 60

#

every subjects

cedar hollow
#

Oh hmm

#

It may affect your chances of getting the conditional offer in the first place yeah

cerulean pivot
#

Hello everyone

#

My As level grades were 3A and my A2 level predicted grades are 2A* 1A or 3A*

#

Please suggest unis that offer aid for CS,IT or engineering

#

Mainly in Canada or the USA

#

TIA

cerulean pivot
#

How much aid am i likely to get?

cerulean pivot
cedar hollow
#

only for Software engineering

cedar hollow
#

you would have to apply

#

base is 3000 so that you would get for sure

cerulean pivot
cedar hollow
#

3000 dollar entrance scholarship

cerulean pivot

I really want to get into NYU or any other good, but somewhat less costly uni, and this is my As and A level combo: Business, Economics, GPR, English, Art

#

Is there a chance I can get in? Also, which course/s would be best?

cedar hollow
#

Yes it depends on what course you want to di

cedar hollow
cedar hollow
#

I want to do something around business and the economy

#

but also maintain Art as my primary hobby, while excelling in the same

cedar hollow
#

idk your grades so I couldn't say if you would get in

#

you can minor in art perhaps

#

others have a double degree as well

#

arts + business is quite a common combination

@cedar hollow My brother went there last year, for that exact course and move to manchester this year, the workload is huge, you have to study everyday until at least 1am. It's only really fun if you have good friends there, if you really enjoy the course + The Netherlands is beautiful

Is anyone applying to SCAD, Pratt, Digipen or RISD?

burnt fox
#

Is anyone applying for Imperial but is a UK resident who resides outside the UK?

tranquil summit
#

...how is that a UK resident... if you dont reside in the UK

burnt fox
#

wait i meant citizenship

#

cause i can get uk home fees while living aboard, but imperial is a type of uni where they have certain criteria for home fees.

tranquil summit
#

For all UK unis you have to have 2 years I think of residence directly before you apply to be eligible for home fees

modern frost
#

@tranquil summit are the 2 years considered during your first 2 years of study?

tranquil summit
#

Nop

burnt fox
#

no it's cause we still technically live in the uk - my situation is weird tbh

tranquil summit
#

If you're paying tax and stuff then you will be eligible

#

And you have a residential address

burnt fox
#

yea we have a place in the uk and still pay tax

tranquil summit
#

so you should get home fees

burnt fox
#

yea ik but Imperial have given issues to people who don’t physically live in the UK, which is why i asked haha

cedar hollow
#

I'm and Indian with a UK passport and they have considered me as a home student

burnt fox
#

ight thanks a lot Mushu and venom :)

No worries

@tiny lagoon For medical and veterinary courses or if ur applying to Oxford or Cambridge the deadline in Oct 15th but if ur apyong for any other course or uni the deadline is Jan 15th

tiny lagoon
#

ppl who r going to be finished with a levels this mj session are considered for 2021 intake right?

tiny lagoon

i see, so for them deadline is already over i suppose

cedar hollow

yup

tiny lagoon

and do the session start in october?

cedar hollow
cedar hollow

cedar hollow
slow violet

No because they were international masters

#

But for bachelors I heard you had to have a german/french lang qual

#
  • pass their entrance
#

German/French cuz different parts of Switzreland has different lang majorities

cedar hollow
#

Yeah I'm trying to apply to this international business degree so I don't really need to write German but I wanted to know more abt how to apply to this particular uni

#

I'm applying to Lucerne University of applied sciences

vague atlas

is it possible to skip the first year at university by doing the 1st and 2nd year course together

cedar hollow
#

idts

#

it would be very stressful and hectic

vague atlas
#

is it allowed

cedar hollow
#

depends from uni to uni

#

not sure if its allowed

#

you can try emailing them

#

which Uni are you talking about

vague atlas
#

what about yours at mcgill

faint pulsar
vague atlas
#

oh

cedar hollow
#

thats what they did for me

#

my degree is usually 4 years but because of my A levels, they allowed me to do it in 3 years

#

like basically I enter second year

vague atlas
#

that is good to hear

cedar hollow
#

ye

faint pulsar
cedar hollow
#

I think you have to still do one semester of pre-req courses

cedar hollow
#

You would have to email other unis to know more

#

But I woild suppose it's the same

faint pulsar
cedar hollow
#

like there are 4 years called:

#

U0, U1, U2, and U3

faint pulsar
#

Oh okay

cedar hollow
#

so U0 is like a freshman pre-req year

faint pulsar
#

Ah

#

so with sufficient Alevels you can skip it?

cedar hollow
#

and at the end of U0, you declare your major going into U1

faint pulsar
#

Oh okay

cedar hollow
#

in u0 you do faculty pre-req

faint pulsar
#

Ah

#

So it depends on the faculty?

cedar hollow
#

yeah it depends

faint pulsar
#

Ah

cedar hollow
#

from faculty to faculty

faint pulsar
#

What faculty are you in?

cedar hollow
#

Science

faint pulsar
#

Ah okay

cedar hollow
#

so my friend is gonna do bioengineering

#

and he has to take 1 semester of U0

#

despite doing A levels

faint pulsar
#

So can you take a heavier courseload?

#

and skip that year

cedar hollow
#

no

faint pulsar
cedar hollow
#

see to complete your degree you have to complete a suffienct amount of credits

faint pulsar
#

Yeah

cedar hollow
#

so A levels/IB give you some of those credits

faint pulsar
#

Yeah

cedar hollow
#

so you complete is a less amt of time

cedar hollow
#

geo math phy chem

faint pulsar
#

Ah

cedar hollow
#

so not bio

faint pulsar
#

In the website

#

it says max 26 credits

#

so if I do math physics chem further math can I get all those 26 credits?

cedar hollow
#

umm

#

you would have to email the faculty

#

i cant say exactly

faint pulsar
#

Oh okay

#

Yeah

cedar hollow
#

but if you go into science then yeah

#

you would get 30 credits

#

for science there's a total of 120 credits to complete for your degree

faint pulsar
#

Ah okay

#

so for CS?

#

can I get 30 credits?

cedar hollow
#

CS falls in faculty of science so yeah

#

ig so yes

faint pulsar
#

Ah oka

#

*okay

cedar hollow
#

have you taken CS in AS and A?

faint pulsar
#

Nope but IT

cedar hollow
#

ah ok

faint pulsar
#

it has some programming

cedar hollow
#

kk

#

many do CS + Stats

faint pulsar
#

Ah how abt CS + math ?

cedar hollow
#

yeah that also works

faint pulsar
#

Ah okay

cedar hollow
#

a minor in math ye

faint pulsar
#

what are the admission requirements? I didnt take bio in IG thats why

cedar hollow
#

if you are going into CS then you dont need bio

faint pulsar
#

Ah okay

#

thanks for the info!

cedar hollow
#

math is the only real pre-req

#

np

#

get an A* in math for sure

#

fmaths too

faint pulsar
#

Yeah

#

for those of y'all in undergrad or have graduated, how did your note taking strategies change from highschool to uni?

#

or did you use the same style of taking notes

slow violet
#

YESS SOOO

#

I never took notes in school during class but I often took them later while revising and so on

#

And they had no set structure but were based off the marking scheme very much and the textbook

#

But in uni I started making notes during the lecture, this was motivated by the fact that courses don't follow a set book but rather flow off the whims of the lecturer

#

I used the Cornell method

#

Subheadings in the right hand side and points/ideas in the RHS

#

I would scribble down like 5 questions post lecture as well

#

Then I'd go home, review the notes + answer the questions

#

If there were any derivations/questions that we solved in class I'd go over them as well

#

So this is one chunk in my head since it corresponds to one lecture

#

I'd repeat this chunk the following weekend, the 2 weeks later and so on

#

So that it sticks

#

Then yk finals prep becomes ez

Hey can someone plz advice me which university should I go for? Georgia Institute of Technology or University of Edinburgh/Manchester for the major, Electrical Engineering?

#

N is there any spring term for university of Edinburgh/Manchester?

#

And is there a possibility that university of Edinburgh will admit me on behalf/basis of my Mathematics and Further Mathematics exams bcz I wasn’t able to appear for my Physics and Chemistry exams so I would probably have to appear for them later (October/November)

#

U can give ur predicted iirc

feral scaffold

@cedar hollow you did SAT?

cedar hollow

A waste of money

feral scaffold
#

but were you admitted without the SAT? in waterloo and UBC

#

@cedar hollow

feral scaffold
#

oh so you chose england

cedar hollow
#

feral scaffold

cedar hollow

faint pulsar

Do you know which universities have scholarships for intl students other than UBC and Uoft?

cedar hollow
#

Waterloo has one as well

#

I know a intl guy who got a 180k scholarship from UBC

#

Madness

#

How much does u of t normally offer in terms of monetary value of scholarships?

#

95+ averages get you the 3k entrance scholarship

#

Rest all you have to apply to

#

30,000-50,000 I think usually

#

If you do end up getting one

cedar hollow
cedar hollow
#

Lul same I didn't get one either

Rip

#

Hopefully you've got some other scholarships tho

#

Yeah I got 7K one from McGill yeeees

cedar hollow
faint pulsar

cedar hollow
cedar hollow

faint pulsar
cedar hollow
#

well its a mix of both 60% grades, 40% EC's

#

and its more than that too

#

there's also personal statements

faint pulsar
#

Oh okay

For medical in Canada you first do undergrad then apply to med school

that is greattt

rare vault
cedar hollow
loud bay
rare vault
#

okay

#

btw i am thinking about computer science

cedar hollow
#

Then uoft

rare vault
#

so which is the most affordable out of the major unis

rare vault
loud bay
#

yes

rare vault
#

okay

#

but which is the most affordable

#

as uni of torronto is 50 k cad

#

and that is alit

#

alot

cedar hollow
#

None are really affordable pepelaugh

#

If you want affordable

#

Then look at Queen's or Western

#

They are sorta have sorta less tuition I think

#

Actually UBC is also less than uoft

#

but there are bursaries available which are financial based

#

McGill is the most expensive cause of Quebec's stupid laws lol

rare vault
#

see man i am mostly gonna stick to aroudn 16 k cad

#

so anything along those lines among the top dogs

cedar hollow
#

well

#

that's gonna be difficult

#

16K per year is not even for domestic students, including housing, food, etc

#

International is gonna be bound to be higher

#

end to end- most degrees for domestic students is about 90,000-100,000 cad for all 4 years

#

international much higher

#

At UofT a bachelors of arts and science for this year i think is like 60000 for internationals

ashen brook
#

living+tuition+everything

and that's if you go full slum lifestyle iirc

#

at least back when i did this math before i joined uni

cedar hollow
#

ye ye ik it doesnt include living and what not

#

yeah

#

its unimaginable for int students the costs

#

^^^

#

might I suggest, doing bachelors in your home country and coming to canada for masters

#

True dat

#

depending on your home country ofc

rare vault
#

also

#

why is international fees so high when compared to local fees

cedar hollow
#

They wanna make monieeees and raise the GDP and what not of the country

cedar hollow
rare vault
#

wth

#

55 k

#

are they serious

cedar hollow
#

canadian citizens have paid taxes to the govt every year

#

and in turn, the govt uses this money to fund the university

rare vault
#

lol

#

they pay 2000 cad

#

and we pay 55

#

lol

#

very nice

#

what about mc master

cedar hollow
#

but international students haven't paid any taxes in canada, so they have to pay a lot more for university

cedar hollow
#

its 8000

#

but still

#

its much less that int cause of the reason i said above

rare vault
cedar hollow
#

yessir you are right

#

but did you get my explanation?

#

that's one of the reasons

#

I mean its not only canada that offers education for such high prices tbh

#

exactly

#

all countries have higher tuition rates for int students

#

why?

#

cause they haven't paid the taxes in that country

#

and so, technically each citizen has paid for the university with their taxes while int students have not

#

^^

#

Go UK its cheaper tbh

#

But its still expensive

tiny lagoon
#

55k per annum ☠️

rare vault
cedar hollow
#

UK unis are normally in the 30k pounds range

#

hold up

#

which is still 50K CAD hehe

#

USA is even more expensive

#

oh i didnt even realise it was 50k cad lmao

#

lul

#

but yeah its all expensive

#

Yus

#

Speaking about canada how likely is it to get scholarships over there?

#

ik UK doesnt offer any pretty much

cedar hollow
#

The major ones are quite difficult to get

#

yeah so not lots of money really

#

but ig i might have a chance so ill apply anyway

#

Very competitive

#

Yes for sure applying never hurts ye

Hello everyone

I am new here

I am an igcse student from India

Currently studying in grade 10

Anyone from UBC vancouer here? @everyone

#

Hello everyone, my first time here too!!
I'm also a IGCSE student, based off from India, and am looking forward to doing a cs major

#

I was hoping for some advice from alumni as to how I should go about college listing, profile development, etc. as I'm looking at Universities more or less on the west coast in the US

cedar hollow
#

caltech pog

cedar hollow
#

but for top-teir cs universties in the US, look into hackathons and stuff

cedar hollow

#

LMAOOO

#

HAHAHA

cedar hollow
#

lol

quaint island
#

caltech doesn't have the best cs program as a pure science

#

I mean, my IGCSE average is 92%, and based off GPA alone I thought schools like Carnegie Melon, UCs, Cornell and stanford would be difficult but not entirely impossible

elder panther
#

Does IGCSE scores matter for uni

#

Even if it does, does it matter more than a levels

loud bay
#

no A levels I think way more important than IGCSE

#

but IGCSE do help in uni I guess

#

ask the proffesional @cedar hollow sir

elder panther
#

Oo

#

Does a levels help in getting into the university of Cambridge or oxford

loud bay
#

no idea wait for ripilicious I think he may help u

cedar hollow
#

I believe uk unis prefer A levels more than other qualifications

#

However, you MUST meet GCSE requirements

#

Otherwise some unis may not accept u even if you have absolutely amazing A level grades

#

@elder panther

ashen brook
elder panther
#

Ooo cool then

#

What is the application process for the university of Cambridge and what competitive exams do u need to appear for to get into it

#

The UCAS deadline for Oxbridge applications is Oct 15

#

These have the tests for both Cambridge and oxford

elder panther
#

Ooo thank you

tranquil summit
#

Nws

cedar hollow
#

igcse's are useless for uni admissions kekw

loud bay
cedar hollow
#

Loool well like Karthik said just get a C or above

#

And ig they are like a stepping stone to A levels

loud bay
#

Ohhh

#

So still they are a bit important

#

Lemme give my self hope man 😂😂

cedar hollow
#

Hehe yes do your best no matter what it is

loud bay
#

Yessir 😂✨

quaint island
#

not really

#

IGCSE scores do matter for other parts of the world

#

especially around other asian and north-american UNIs

#

well, for starters, it contributes to a high GPA and demonstrates consistency

#

so yes in the UK and some european universities maybe

#

but can't say the same for everywhere else

ashen brook
#

like ofc you have to do fairly well

#

but you dont need to ace your IGs, and acing your IGs alone means nothing compared to good AS/A2 scores and other exams

quaint island
#

of course!

#

standardised test-results and, in my case, ib grade 11 results will matter a whole lot more

cedar hollow
#

Hello

#

I had a query

#

Is there any indian who has applied to Canada and got accepted

If you are a science student especially pls tell me

UBC

which aspect of the science program in UBC are you going for

Most probably anything related to bio @quaint island

there's a common first year in the faculty of science at ubc so you would have some time to decide your actual program of study
