[peak rain]

year 13 or grade 12

whats better

12 or 13

[odd night]

i am so confused as to what you are asking me

[peak rain]

ok haha wait

[odd night]

you can only apply if you do 3 a levels by the end of year 12

since UK unis require 3 a levels minimum

[peak rain]

is it alr if i dm you?

[odd night]

sure

[ornate shard]

Hi all

i am looking to do culinary arts

for my University

[odd night]

are you college searching? or asking something related to the admissions process

[ornate shard]

College searching

[odd night]

oh okay

[ornate shard]

I have been keeping my eye on CIA new york and CIA singapore

[odd night]

i cant help since i dont know anything abt the subject but i would suggest you mention what youre looking for [country, location, what subjects you take / have taken, your grades, any unis youve already had your eye on, etc]

so other people can help you better

oh and your budget

[ornate shard]

So preferably i want my uni to be in the United States, Currently i just got back my IGCSE results, 10 A*/11, I have not yet submitted my IB choices yet, i have had my eye on CIA New York and CIA Singapore, i have no Budget limitations as long as i get a good score in my IB.

[odd night]

alr well unis in the US are mad expensive esp for internationals so keep that in mind

and if you're applying to the US, there's a lot more to consider, like your extracurriculars and awards/honors

[ornate shard]

yeah and the fact i am Indian Passport makes it even harder

[odd night]

so am i 👍

[ornate shard]

I dont take many extra curriculars, like on paper. I do play lot of football, cricket, basketball

then i have done LOTS of MUN'S

[ornate shard]

nice

[tranquil summit]

the fact that youre doing ib next year will probably be of help

[odd night]

yep

[ornate shard]

No my IB is strarting in 1 month

[odd night]

if you're doing it alongside AS/A2 then definitely

[ornate shard]

and i have not submitted my choise yet

[odd night]

if youre shifting to IB then still itll be good

[ornate shard]

we dont have that stuff

[odd night]

oh okay

[ornate shard]

we dont have a choice of AS

[odd night]

like, how many? for how long?

[ornate shard]

its directly IGCSE done, then IB

[tranquil summit]

nonono

[ornate shard]

20 Digital Conferences, about 5 physical, and 12 best delegate awards

[tranquil summit]

thats amazing!

[odd night]

that's something to consider, i dont know a lot abt culinary arts, but US admissions are super competitive and they admit holistically so ECs are super important

[ornate shard]

ik

[odd night]

thats cool! thatll help

[ornate shard]

well i do play sports, just not good at any

so what would u suggest to be my Subjects for IB

i have already fixed History HL

then Hindi SL

Chem and Physics i have not decided if its SL or HL

[odd night]

idk again i have no idea abt culinary arts but i hope someone else can help you out!

[ornate shard]

Eng Lang - Lit SL

[ornate shard]

yeah i hope

[odd night]

if you have any qs abt the admissions process then lmk

good luck!

[ornate shard]

i do

i have no clue about it

so how does it go?

[odd night]

in the US?

[ornate shard]

yes

i know there is some, application letter or smthing

[odd night]

you generally apply through a platform called commonapp

[ornate shard]

not 100%sure

[odd night]

do you know anything about UCAS

[odd night]

lol i wish it were that simple

[ornate shard]

i have never heard of that

[odd night]

oh okay

that's the platform for the UK

well anyway

so there are a lot of colleges in the US you can apply through using commonapp [like 200 or something ?]

[ornate shard]

Just to let you know, by Family Laws, i am abided to never set foot on Great Britain for any reason

[odd night]

for colleges that don't use CA, you'd have to look at the coalitioon application or apply individually

oh okay

[ornate shard]

wow thats a lot

[ornate shard]

so there is like a coalition of uni's?

[odd night]

so if youre lucky enough to have all your colleges on commonapp, you can submit stuff like your commonapp essay and transcript centrally

[ornate shard]

ah

[odd night]

they're just platforms where you submit your applications

assuming we're still talking about CA, you have to submit

[ornate shard]

CA? or u mean CIA?

[odd night]

a commonapp essay [an essay about yourself, 650 words max]

[odd night]

CA. commonapp

[ornate shard]

Topic?

[odd night]

yourself

as a person

[ornate shard]

no like what about myself?

OH

so like why i like culinary

[odd night]

nope

you as a pereson

for example mine is about my adaptability

its usually focused around an event that you went through and how it changed you

something unique that just kinda is essential to who you are

[ornate shard]

oh

[odd night]

there are prompts

[ornate shard]

well, im not sure of any

[ornate shard]

as in?

[odd night]

thats okay, you have time lol

[ornate shard]

2 years is not a lot,

actually 1 year

us applications go early

[odd night]

i dont recall them exactly but one is like 'talk about an event in your childhood that shaped you' or smth

i know

[ornate shard]

oh so do THEY give you the genre?

[odd night]

but as for your essay, you should be able to start it in the may of y12

[odd night]

they give you options. you pick one

[ornate shard]

so its not like a 1 sitting write is it?

[odd night]

definitely not

[ornate shard]

ah

i c

[odd night]

ive been working on mine since may

well thats just one part of the application

you have to list and talk about you extracurriculars [up to 10]

your academic awards / honors

[ornate shard]

10??

HOLY SHIT

[odd night]

you dont have to have 10

up to 10

[ornate shard]

oh

[odd night]

if you have more then basically you choose 10 of the most important

[ornate shard]

wait so these extra curriculars, do they HAVE to be with the school?

[odd night]

no

extracurriculars meaning outside of academics

[ornate shard]

Oh, well i am District level chess champion

so ig that works

[odd night]

that is definitely an extracurricular

though you could also list that under awards

[ornate shard]

MUN's?

[odd night]

thats up to you to decide

yes

i can tell you some of mine as an example?

if you're still confused

[ornate shard]

also i heard doing MUN's boosts ur chances of getting accepted?

[ornate shard]

yeah sure

[odd night]

well not MUN specifically

but it's an extracurricular and shows you're a well rounded student

[ornate shard]

ah

[odd night]

oh so some of mine are playing the piano, doing MUN, writing / editing the school magazine, writing research in maths, writing research in machine learning, and cofounding a gender equality initiative

so like varied stuff

oh and DofE

if you've done that

[ornate shard]

whats that

Wait wait wait

[odd night]

duke of edinburgh

international award

[ornate shard]

Can Teaching a Subject be an ExtraCurricular?

[odd night]

yes

[ornate shard]

oooo

[ornate shard]

lmao, i teach History to 9IG and 10IG batch

[odd night]

cool

so yes, definitely you can put that down

[ornate shard]

ok

oh and whats the word limit?

[odd night]

for?

the essay?

you dont talk abt this in the essay btw there is an EC section

[ornate shard]

yes

like 200-250 word>

[odd night]

650 words

haha

[ornate shard]

oh wow

[odd night]

350-650

most people hit 600

[ornate shard]

i doubt ill hit 200 even😫

[odd night]

you have to, it's 350 minimum

[tranquil summit]

youve barely even started relax

[odd night]

^

[tranquil summit]

a year is plenty of time

[odd night]

if youve just done ig, you have time

i would focus on your grades and extracurriculars

[ornate shard]

Nah i cant take any risk

ive got one shot at this

[odd night]

the actual application doesnt open until 2022 august for you

so its not like you can start

[ornate shard]

but i can prepare

[odd night]

its not an exam

[tranquil summit]

so do most other people, but worrying before you even start will do no help

[odd night]

you can start your essays but the prompts change yearly

[ornate shard]

Hmm

[odd night]

you should focus on the parts of the application that need to show growth over time, like your academic performance and your extracurriculars

what goes into your application is only stuff from y10 - y13

[ornate shard]

Yr13?

i thought its only till Grade 12?

[tranquil summit]

aka grade 9-12

[ornate shard]

Ohhh

[odd night]

they will look at your grades after you get accepted

though unless you fail massively they wont rescind you

like 4 Ds or something

[ornate shard]

wait so that means, before my IB grades come out ill already have my uni?

[odd night]

your applications are due in the january of y13 [grade 12]

[ornate shard]

Rescind?

[odd night]

when do IB grades come out

[ornate shard]

I have not clue what that is

[odd night]

eg if i get into stanford with 4 As at AS level and then get 4 Fs at A level they can retract my offer

[ornate shard]

Even if you are accepted/

[odd night]

yes

because i failed everything at A level

if i get like 2As and 2Bs though they likely wont. it generally only applies if you majorly fail

[ornate shard]

i hope that's just an example

[odd night]

i'm taking my a levels this year, so yes

i hope not to fail everything lmao

[ornate shard]

wait, then basically when i apply to my Uni, the only grades i can show is my IG grades

[odd night]

i don't know since i don't know how IB grades work

[ornate shard]

so basically my college acceptance will depend on my IG grades?

[odd night]

probably not, they look at semesterly grades [if you have those] and predicted grades too

it almost never depends solely on ig grades

they will ask for a transcript from your school and your teacher will submit every official grade you've received in that class

[ornate shard]

no no, u said that before the IB results come out i can get accepted. So when i give them my academic exam results, the only ones i can give is IG, in my case since there is no AS and A level in my sch, So thus, my Uni Application Depends on my IG grades

[odd night]

well, there will probably be mock exams or such in between

[ornate shard]

including internals?

[odd night]

or any work you've done in your IB classes

possibly? again i don't know about IB

[ornate shard]

There will be ToK and CAS

[odd night]

i have no idea what that is

i'm an A level student

[ornate shard]

im guessing cuz u took CBSE right?

[odd night]

no?

[ornate shard]

Oh nvm

[ornate shard]

oh ok

[odd night]

so yeah, if you have a school counsellor or something, i would advise you talk to them or your teachers since theyd have a better idea

i can only tell you about the application process since ive been doing it myself

[ornate shard]

School dosent re open until 1 month

and i am already stressing out

[tranquil summit]

you will definitely have to submit predicted grades tho

[odd night]

oh yeah

[tranquil summit]

there are probably blogs or so for ib students applying to the us

[odd night]

i didnt know if you had those lol

[ornate shard]

IG we didnt

[odd night]

dude you have an entire year. theres no point, you cant actually start filling in anything rn

[ornate shard]

i only heard about them recently

[tranquil summit]

^^^

[ornate shard]

alright

so

[odd night]

you get nothing out of stressing over essays and such. focus on your grades

what you can control

[ornate shard]

maybe ill celebebrate for now then, CUZ I GOT 10 A*/11 boiz

[odd night]

but start looking into the process in may or so! that's a a good time to give yourself a headstart

oh cool

congrats!

[ornate shard]

English Literature just fucked up everything thp

[ornate shard]

alright

Thanks!

[odd night]

lmk if you have any other questions abt the process! you can ping me in this channel

theres LoRs and stuff too but again, focus on what you need rn, and congrats again

[bitter cairn]

Anybody gone to Aga Khan uni in karachi from KSA? I need some help to understand what the requirements are.

[vast latch]

@tranquil summit what is the minimum grade required in english language to get selected to an uni

[tranquil summit]

Depends on the country

And you don't need to have it in IG, you can just do an IELTS in the summer after AS

If you're going to India tho you need to take AS EGP in grade 12

[vast latch]

thanks

[tranquil summit]

Nws

[dense walrus]

How is the UK for after uni? Are visas really strict? Heard it’s hard to become a pr

[tranquil summit]

10 years to settlement excluding the time you were on a student visa

[tiny lagoon]

hey, yes i applied for the entrance exam, im going from uae, wassup?

[safe tangle]

Does anyone know anything about Ryerson university in Toronto? Guess i gotta start caring about universities again so if anyone has any info about it or knows someone who went ping me :<

[odd night]

i have a friend who's going this year if you have a specific question?

[cedar hollow]

Yus

Ask away

[cedar hollow]

or not

[twilit plinth]

e10 university is prolly the best

[cedar hollow]

does anyone have any information regarding TUM management and Technology in germany?

[mellow venture]

What information do u want specifically

Because most of the information required is posted on the website

[cedar hollow]

just realised the question was too general lol

im just looking for whether an AS in german/english would satisfy the university entrance requirement of having a university entrance qualification in german/english?It probably has to be an A level but i want to double check whether an AS is accepted or not

[cedar hollow]

afaik AS English Lang is generally accepted

[cedar hollow]

Hopefully

I emailed the admission department

But they could take a while to respond so I figured I'd ask here just to see if anyone has applied there with A levels

[fervent tulip]

can 2 AS subjects be considered as 1 full alevel?

[cedar hollow]

perhaps

[tiny lagoon]

wh-

[rain heath]

wha

no

[twilit mulch]

No

a full A-level is basically 2 years of 1 subject

And you have to do 3 full A-levels for university

So 3 full subjects

Minimum

[mellow venture]

Depends on the country

[fervent tulip]

germany for example, they take 2 AS subjects as 1 alevel
So if you take like 2 full alevels and 2 Aslevels thatd be considered as 3 full alevels. However, thats in germany. I was wondering if the same thing applies in canada

I cant find information online about it

[cedar hollow]

So I was correct

[dense walrus]

"In Europe and the UK basically accepting a student who has completed Year 13 for direct entry as the prerequisite. In that case you will start with the foundation in engineering then you will enter year 1 of the University. In Canada, USA and India you will be eligible to enter year 1 of the university as you achieve the minimum entry requirement of the university. In Canada some universities require a student to start with Mechanical engineering and to specialize with Aerospace in the second or third year of university." Can someone confirm this? First im hearing about this

Im completing A level(AS+A2), Isnt year 13 like grade 12 so in that case i wouldnt require an additional year

[cedar hollow]

"In Canada some universities require a student to start with Mechanical engineering and to specialize with Aerospace in the second or third year of university."
I have never heard of this

i dont think that is correct

[dense walrus]

yea, ive talked with reps from a few unis and they havent mentioned this but what about the foundation year? isnt that for students who dont meet academic requirements?

[cedar hollow]

no

foundation year is for everyone

i know for mcgill, you can skip the foundation year if you come from a levels or like IB

but other universities a common faculty foundation year is mandatory for all

[dense walrus]

oh so is that why most courses are 3 years in europe?

[tranquil summit]

Engineering is 4 years everywhere afaik

[bitter cairn]

is university of toronto known for its MD courses?

[cedar hollow]

yes

[bitter cairn]

do I have to complete a foundation year or can I go directly?

[cedar hollow]

you need to do your undergrad first

3-4 yrs of undergrad

and then apply

[bitter cairn]

so university of toronto does not offer undergraduate programs?

nvm...just understood

[cedar hollow]

no

[twilit plinth]

ikr

[faint pulsar]

nope its 3 years in europe

[tranquil summit]

Ah mb

[distant loom]

im pretty clueless on which uni's to shortlist, i plan on doing cs and specialising on cybersec later on

i was thinking of singapore so NUS or ntu but are my grades good enough

cos almost all foreign uni's are expensive and without financial aid or a scholarship i dont think its possible either

im also open to unis in the us or uk

[odd night]

if you're looking for finaid then US probably isn't it for you

[tranquil summit]

Honestly neither is the UK really unless your country is giving you something

[safe fable]

UBC or western or MUN?

[odd night]

?

is this a question or a response to tomioka

[faint pulsar]

Finaid is only a US thing though lol

[odd night]

i think uk do as well but im not 100% sure since i havent looked into it

generally, finaid for internationals is shit though

there are also merit scholarships in both us / uk though if you feel your grades aren't very good you may not be eligible

[faint pulsar]

Finaid doesnt exist in the UK for internationals. Its only for locals

[vocal ermine]

Finaid or scholarships are extremely picky with internationals tho

If studying abroad, which country would be the best/most suitable for Biology & Chemistry-related majors?

[odd night]

depends on your definition of suitable; are you looking for research opportunities? job opportunities? internship opportunities? to go to grad school? and then there's the question of your budget and what else you're looking for in a college

depends on the major itself too, is it like neuroscience or chemical engineering

[odd night]

oh mb i didn't know that

[dense walrus]

Out of these which one is the easiest lol? for Aerospace engineering

cause it turns out that the courses are fully taught in English but you still need to show that you know a bit of german

[coarse kernel]

Universities for pursuing actuarial science? Don't mind the location but they should offer international scholarships tho 😅

[faint pulsar]

Which uni is this?

[safe fable]

no. Just curious what is better

[odd night]

that's entirely subjective

and depends a lot on your major and what you consider "better"

[dense walrus]

TUM

[faint pulsar]

Oh okay

[low tendon]

man i was thinking of applying for TUM next year but my current scores suck so bad

and also

[dense walrus]

What do you need? I can’t find specific grade requirements

[low tendon]

most of the people i know who work in helping with university applications don't know about the A Levels

[low tendon]

can't also

i have contacted Saarlandes, Stuttgart and KIT but none of them gave me grade requirements

[dense walrus]

Yea but it’s similar to the German system, according to the website if it’s similar it’s accepted

[dense walrus]

Oh I’m waiting for TUM to still reply

[low tendon]

yeah it's kinda similar to the Abitur but whatever tbh

that's fine by me

now what i need to ask also is whether if i have the A Levels i can skip Studienkolleg

[low tendon]

i tried asking them once and it kinda took forever

[dense walrus]

You know German?

[safe fable]

i am studying engineering as an international student.

[low tendon]

studying B2 rn

[dense walrus]

I don’t understand the system, what do I need for the uni?

[low tendon]

depends

[dense walrus]

For aerospace engineering

[low tendon]

A Lvl?

[dense walrus]

Nah look at the imagine I sent

DSH-1, Goethe A2

[low tendon]

DSH is exclusive for German international schools iirc

the Goethe Zertifikat is the German certificate from the Goethe Institute

if they are in your country then you can take theirs

[dense walrus]

Oh so I would need B2 in DSD II

Is that hard to get in 6months?

[low tendon]

it's gonna be hard

i had to start since year 10 of HS from the beginning

[dense walrus]

Unfortunate, That sucks

[low tendon]

and here I am starting year 12 of HS

and i am kinda at B1 CEFR levels of German

[dense walrus]

TUM was perfect, €600 fee per term, has AE, the course is taught in English but still has a German proficiency requirement.

[low tendon]

im taking compsci/IT so yeah

haven't checked on aerospace eng courses for a while

[odd night]

well idk anything about either of the three, but as ive said before to people, maybe list out what factors are most important to you [your major, location you like, extracurriculars you want, type of community, etc] and people might be able to help you better

[twin sedge]

Hi

Who here is studying med

[bitter cairn]

Is the nust merit list out?

[tranquil summit]

#nmdcat

[dense walrus]

What do the the asterisks mean?

So will the living cost and visa fee be given back?

[faint pulsar]

Yeah it'll be given back

You have to pay beforehand coz they require proof of funds for the visa

[dense walrus]

Ah, thanks.

What are some ways to fund tuition? How can I get a loan as an international?

[faint pulsar]

That idk lol

[cedar wraith]

Hey guys! Has anyone been to Caribbean unis like Ross or St. George's? Or does anyone know about them? Like are they a good choice for med school?

I've thought of applying to UK and USA as well but it'll probably be wayyyyy harder to get scholarships there (understandably so)

[cedar wraith]

Also can I apply right after Alevels?

For example, I saw in St George's website that there's a 5/6 year med program that i can join after ALevels but I don't see the same for Ross

So are there programs like this in different unis?

[odd night]

i don't know about these universities specifically but in most places you'll want to apply during your final year of school so you can go to uni after you complete your education

[cedar wraith]

aah okayy that's good advice

at what point do you think I should get started on personal statement/s?

[odd night]

well i don't know abt the carribean but for US/UK, you should ideally have already started or be starting ASAP

if you're a year 13 i would suggest you really get onto your college research so you understand the process and can start applying!! the earlier you start, the more time you give yourself

[drowsy storm]

By any chance, does someone know of any Indian student currently studying at Cambridge from CBSE/ICSE? How did they get AP predicted scores from their school?

[cedar hollow]

Usually on the college board site, there's an option to send AP scores to your desired universities

[dense walrus]

Do you guys recommend signing up with admission counsellors so that they take care of the application?

[tiny lagoon]

imo applications are quite user-friendly, u can apply urself, also some counsellors take money, so why pay when u can do urself?

[odd night]

they can't really take care of the application for you since a lot of stuff, you have to fill in yourself

are you talking UK / US / Canada / somewhere else?

[dense walrus]

Europe mainly

The one I spoke to advertised that

I’m not convinced by them and don’t think they should be handling it but my mum is persistent on it

[tiny lagoon]

if they dont look reliable then dont do it imo

i never tried using a counsellor, i applied myself, so idk how that works, but as a matter of fact, at the end u have to do everything urself, whether sending the documents to counsellor and he/she uploads, or u urself do it directly

[odd night]

yeah i mean in UCAS and in the commonapp, stuff like ECs and your essays arent things a counsellor can write for you

[faint pulsar]

Does anyone have a list of european universities with scholarships?

[mellow venture]

Theres so many unis in europe like that lmao

[faint pulsar]

Do u know any tho lol

[golden vapor]

im really new to this

but how do u apply the uni of manchester?

[tranquil summit]

Aha

Through UCAS

[tranquil summit]

Same as you'd apply to any other UK uni tbh

Are you planning to come to Manchester👀

[golden vapor]

mayhaps

[tranquil summit]

Come to mama

Lowkey annoyed at the math dept for not communicating about module choices but don't mind me

[golden vapor]

cuz i see actuarial science and maths

very interesting

@tranquil summit

[tranquil summit]

I can find someone who's doing it for you if you want

[golden vapor]

inch resting

[tranquil summit]

I'm in the math GC yk😂

[golden vapor]

INCH RESTING

[slow violet]

:)

[golden vapor]

im surprised if someone is willing to help

[tranquil summit]

People are nice man

[golden vapor]

though im not sure what to ask help for

at least for now

[tranquil summit]

Nws nws lmk if you want me to find a contact

[golden vapor]

cambridge vs oxford for math?

[lofty idol]

Honestly

Cam

[golden vapor]

aite

[lofty idol]

I think Oxford's more selective for interviews

[reef marsh]

Hellooo @tranquil summit

um i got a question

How many a level subs do i need in general for medicine

[tranquil summit]

Depends on the country tbh
India for example requires English along with Phys chem bio
In the UK, three a levels including bio and chem, people generally do Phys/ math as the third

Egypt requires only two full a levels, bio and chem but also A* in both + at least 6 IG A* iirc

[reef marsh]

oh well

[reef marsh]

oh no its 1 AL or 2 AS levels

or its 1 in engineering

[reef marsh]

idk ngl

[magic drum]

I might do it!

[magic drum]

Cam

But im personally biased cos im dng a levels

But also i got a more modern vibe frm cambridge than oxford

Idk how to explain it

[tranquil summit]

It used to be until two years ago

[golden vapor]

what do yall think abt these choices?

[tranquil summit]

ik a person who started on phys phil and changed courses cuz the phil wasnt well structured

and also essays, idk how much youre into that

[golden vapor]

oh shiet

[tranquil summit]

but then again there are also lots of people who are still doing phys phil so

[golden vapor]

i see i see

[faint pulsar]

What are the best UK unis for engineering? And can I apply for Engineering at some unis and math at some unis?

[odd night]

i don't think you can since your personal statement goes to all 5 [or less] of them via UCAS and it should be focused on your major

i could be wrong

[faint pulsar]

oh ok

Then can I make my personal statement on engineering in general and apply for different engineering courses at different universities?

[tranquil summit]

You can

[faint pulsar]

oh ok

[tranquil summit]

You can apply to math as well if you want, just that your personal statement has to be applicable enough

[faint pulsar]

How do I combine both subjects tho? Can I like talk about STEM in general would that work?

[tranquil summit]

I'm not sure what works tbh

I know mine worked but I can't tell you what made it work etc if yk what I mean

[faint pulsar]

Oh did you apply for multiple courses as well? Which courses?

[tranquil summit]

Maths and physics/ theoretical physics

Very similar tbf

[faint pulsar]

Ohh ok

Yeah those are similar

[dense walrus]

Looking at TUM, they have Aerospace in bachelor of science. https://www.tum.de/en/studies/degree-programs/detail/detail/StudyCourse/aerospace-bachelor-of-science-bsc

But then they have chemical engineering in bachelor of engineering

And then they have automotive engineering in bachelor of science

I’m looking for aerospace engineering and the course is titled Aersopace and it’s a bachelor of science so what does this mean?

Is it not an engineering program or what

[mellow venture]

Look at the curriculum

[void glen]

Help

I didnt have an option to give my AS exams in May 2021 in my country and we had to move to October

so I'm gonna get my AS results in January and most unis I'm considering have deadlines before that

Is it possible to apply with no final AS or A2 grades and just predicted ones?

[odd night]

which country?

[void glen]

I haven't really decided Are there any specific ones that allow this?

[odd night]

i honestly don't know :/ i don't know if the UK will

the US doesn't have any specific academic / grade requirements, so you could check out some countries there

some unis*

not contries

bear with me im a little slow today lol

[void glen]

I won't be applying to the UK or US but I will be applying to American universities that have campuses abroad

[odd night]

that's fair, i don't know any apart from yale nus but you should definitely check out their explicit requirements

and i suggest looking at student forums to see if there are others who have been in the same situation before

because usually, there are

[void glen]

alright I'll check it out

Thanks!

[odd night]

no worries, wish i could help you more :(

and good luck!

[void glen]

Now I need help in finding US universities in the middle east that offer scholarships to international students

[tiny lagoon]

what course are u looing into?

[void glen]

Don't have any idea so I'm just adding a few to my list

I'm probably gonna apply to different courses in different unis and choose the best one that accepts me

not medical or arts tho

[tiny lagoon]

oh, i know about med unis, sry

[void glen]

ah nw

[limpid heath]

Depends on what you want to study. There’s an American university in lebanon and its one of the best, it contains diff medical majors if thats what you’re looking for. On the other hand there’s one in egypt but from what I know it doesnt have any medical majors.

Both of them are expensive but u cant even compare them to American unis in the US

I think they do offer scholarships

From what I know the Lebanese one is for 10k$ per year

Egyptian one might be for more

But I’m pretty sure there are other options in the middle east. I’m talking from what I know

[faint pulsar]

Theres some in qatar

[void glen]

Alright I'll check those out. Ty!

[void glen]

yeah I'm considering them too

[faint pulsar]

And theres NYU abu dhabi

very competitive tho

[void glen]

that's number 1 on my list

[faint pulsar]

Ah nice

are u applying ED then?

[void glen]

yeah

if I figure out what course I'm gonna apply for

[faint pulsar]

apply undecided then

if u dont know

[void glen]

probably gonna do that

deadline is on November 1st and I literally haven't done a single thing for my application

[faint pulsar]

thats fine theres still time

only essays right

[void glen]

I havent started so everything that's needed lol

[faint pulsar]

You have to write like 2 essays

commonapp and why NYU

thats all I think

Im also applying ED lol

they care a lot about extracurriculars and all that tho

[void glen]

do they ask for proof or something for those extracurriculars?

[faint pulsar]

Nope

ig they'll only ask if its something unreasonable

[limpid heath]

There are universities that are actual branches of other universities in the UK

Its like you have studied there but cheaper compared to the UK

[faint pulsar]

Like?

[limpid heath]

Go on to any university website

And youll find branches and stuff

Im going to university of hertfordshire in egypt

I have to a foundation year bc I only have 8 olevels

But its for physiotherapy

[faint pulsar]

Ah okay

[limpid heath]

Its cheaper than UK and u get to do a year in their actual campus

[faint pulsar]

do you know any other ones like in say UAE or something?

[limpid heath]

So try to look jnto it

What are u planning to study

UAE wants like 1 alevel for medicine but i think it’s expensive

[tranquil summit]

There's herriot watt in UAE

[faint pulsar]

Ahh ok

Are there any other branches in like asia or something?

[tranquil summit]

https://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/choosing-university/university-branch-campuses

[tranquil summit]

University of Nottingham in mayalsia

[faint pulsar]

Ah okay

thanks

[void glen]

Tho I don't think any of these unis offer as many scholarships as NYU

[mellow venture]

Honestly i wouldnt recommend herriot watt in UAE knowing how shit it is

The people in the campus arent good either

[rotund arch]

do we need chem for architecture?

[odd night]

depends where you're applying?

generally i wouldn't think so but i would advise looking at the university requirements as they can differ

[rotund arch]

oh tysm

[odd night]

nw

[void glen]

Are virtual university fairs useful in terms of your application? Like can I add them in my extracurricular activities or something for uni applications?

[lofty idol]

I personally don’t find them to be useful

And you can’t add them to your extracurriculars, no

I find it better to ask a current/past student

[void glen]

oh same

[lofty idol]

Ye Oxford’s was useless ngl

[void glen]

just thought they might help in applications since I have very few extracurriculars

[lofty idol]

Sadge

[tranquil summit]

Attending fairs?

Isn't that just like attending an in person fair but on zoom where there are stalls and you talk to uni representatives

[void glen]

yeah lol

[tranquil summit]

Enquiring about unis that you are applying for is not an extracurricular.

If you're involved in running one then it counts

[odd night]

yall ever self doubt your college list? i decided where i wanted to apply a couple weeks ago but now im really overthinking whether i wanna go to those places and whether im missing out on somewhere else

i did evaluate 30+ colleges and i did my research and everything so logically i know that there are many things i like abt these places and the reasons i chose them over others but. the doubt is always there ghfjgkhd am i just indecisive

[mellow venture]

I mean do u have any other place u want to apply to

[odd night]

i would apply everywhere i if i could

idk im just thinking abt like. am i missing out on columbia and nyu?

and im not applying to hong kong bc of the situation there but am i missing out on hkust or something

and there are probably so many colleges in the US i havent even looked at but am i missing out on those

[mellow venture]

I mean u can always check them out

If the requirements arent too diff from what you alr have

And u havent spent a sheikhs palace on sending admission letters

There wouldnt be an issue i think?

Also even then if u miss out on a place how much better would that place be

[cedar hollow]

I feel like your always gonna miss out on something or the other, cause it's virtually impossible to apply everywhere

So you should be fine

[odd night]

i gotta write a bunch of extra essays

[odd night]

i dunno, thats really my dilemma

[odd night]

yeah that's true

[cedar hollow]

just go with your gut and make the most out of any place you go to

[mellow venture]

What the orangutan said

[mellow venture]

Pain

[odd night]

that's the best idea im definitely overthinking this

ty guys!!

[faint pulsar]

Yeah its fine just apply to as many unis as possible from your list

[odd night]

yeah im applying to 23 total

[faint pulsar]

Nice

Lot of essays then lol

[odd night]

yep

[tranquil summit]

Honestly, it's like that for every decision we make, so if you decide you'll make the best of it, you won't rethink it once you're there

[odd night]

that's fair

thank you guys :) def feeling more confident in my decisions now

[void glen]

how do you write 23 essays

I can't even make one

[odd night]

its not even 23........ its like 3 per college............

actually less than that total bc the commonapp is a mutual thing

and the uk only requires UCAS

and the UCs only require 4 piqs

[void glen]

how much time does each essay take on average

[odd night]

forever

i can reuse some content later on like in my why major essays

but it can take months

im writing 6 rn

[void glen]

damn looks like I'm never going to uni lol

[odd night]

if youre applying to the UK youll be fine

if its america my advice is just start early lol

[void glen]

are you doing A Levels in a school?

[odd night]

yep

[void glen]

oh so the counsellors don't help with that stuff?

[odd night]

at my school? nope

they help with the UK but for the US im on my own

[dense walrus]

My college list went from 15 to 3

Mainly cause of my financial situation

Legit broke, we can’t give a few thousand so resorted to Germany(free tuition) and Netherlands(with loan) and safety as manipal. I also have my AS retakes in O/N and it’s slowing down my A2 progress and considering doing a few papers in may June. This would mean I wouldn’t get to apply for January deadlines but for the 3 I’m looking at: TU delft is dependent on their admission tests, TUM has a June deadline, manipal I’m not so sure

So would it be worth putting my eggs in one basket and focus on getting accepted into TUM?

[mellow venture]

Fuck no

U have to learn language

Dont jus put everything into germany

Gotta have backups

[dense walrus]

Learning it and it doesn’t require an intermediate level, though Ik it’s not easy, I’m grinding it

[dense walrus]

But I don’t have any other choice, can’t afford the tuition

My dad is hesitant on loans

[odd night]

i'm really sorry :( financials are such a big issue for so many people and it really sucks

[dense walrus]

Yea it hit me hard, was really demotivating but just gonna have to accept it

And that’s when I found about Germany

[odd night]

it's always a good idea to have multiple options where possible bc you never do know what will happen

obv if thats not a possibility then really focus on TUM

[modern frost]

@odd night do you mind sharing which 23 uni's you picked. (Can i dm you about this)

[odd night]

hiya, i can share! its okay idm sharing here so dont worry

US:

• stanford
• carnegie mellon
• brown
• duke
• harvey mudd
• rice
• UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI, UCSC
• boston u
• vanderbilt
• reed college
• santa clara u
• brandeis

UK:

• cambridge

• i'm still finalising the other 4 lol but i'll be applying regularly to them so i have some time. probably durham too but i'm not entirely sure

• and NUS

[modern frost]

@odd night do you have no safety schools

I mean some of the UCs could count as them I guess

[odd night]

UCSC

brandeis

and SCU

and i will have a couple in the UK

i'm also applying early action to SCU probably so if i get rejected i'll add more safeties to my list for RA

[modern frost]

Ah that makes sense

But last minute essays?

[tranquil summit]

Durham isn't that nice for intls tbh, it's hard to get to, small town

[odd night]

so i've heard :// i'm still not sure if i'd want to go there. i've heard the education is really good but the life not so much so i'm still considering applying

ty for the input i appreciate it <33

[odd night]

well, yes, but i can reuse content from previous why major and such essays. i'd have to work on why college and stuff though

[tranquil summit]

Nws

[abstract basalt]

id University of Dundee good for medicine students?

[warm sail]

i think it is

[waxen elm]

hi....student aspiring foe medicine here....
any private candidate here?
or any private candidate gone to med school here?

[shell needle]

is ryerson hard to get in to?

[odd night]

that depends on you lol

i have a friend going there this year

[cedar hollow]

Im gonna be shameless saying this, it's not hard to get into at all

Unless you've failed courses in highschool

As long as you've passed your subjects you can get in

[shell needle]

lmaoo its okayy i just wanted to know!

[cedar hollow]

Ye

[dense walrus]

Yea there academic requirements are quite low depending on the specific majour. What i saw was a minimum C and B for some engineering degrees

[deep harbor]

Are you a domestic or an international student?

[odd night]

international

for both UK and US

[cedar hollow]

Thought about applying to canada?

U can get more aid

[odd night]

i did but im already applying to so many places

i have relatives in the US

and my parents really want me to go there

[odd night]

finances r not an issue at all fortunately

[cedar hollow]

oh okay thats good

gotchu

[odd night]

yeah im rlly lucky

[cedar hollow]

ye

[vestal lava]

what are some good unis in the us/canada that are generous with aid and scholarships?

[odd night]

sorry if this is blunt but the US is awful with aid as an international

the ones that tend to give you more are the real top unis with the low acceptance rates

barring that, purdue is one i know that gives relatively good aid to ints. idk what youre applying for but its known for STEM mostly

[vestal lava]

yeah i kinda realized that :/

I'm looking at liberal arts colleges mostly

[odd night]

you could look at the claremont colleges bc i know a couple of people that got full rides

my cousin got a full ride to scripps which is an lac i think though im not sure

[vestal lava]

but they don't rlly give aid since they aren't big unis

[odd night]

yeah generally the US is a money leech :/

i dont know anything about canada but hopefully you have better luck on that end

[vestal lava]

yep thank you for your help!

[odd night]

anytime!

[faint pulsar]

Purdue doesnt have aid iirc its a public university

[faint pulsar]

Maybe consider Colgate

[odd night]

so?

it does have aid and is pretty known for being more generous on that front towards international students

[faint pulsar]

Really? I didnt know that

https://www.purdue.edu/dfa/students/prospective/international.html they have merit scholarships not financial aid

[neat lichen]

Hey guys, quick question. I graduate 2022 and have my A2 exams in march 2022. I have my AS in O/N (Ill be doing composite for chemistry) and and feel like May/June 2022 would be more suitable cause ive been so focused on AS that i have kind of dismissed A2. Now im not sure how I will apply for january deadline universities considering i may not have predicted grades in time.

[odd night]

what country are you applying for?

[neat lichen]

canada(not sure if 100% financially will be possible but wortha try) and if not that germany(TUM) however they do not give conditional offers, the application period is between may to july so im confused about whether predicted grades will be sufficient

[odd night]

alright in that case i can't help since i don't know anything about either of the two countries, sorry :/

[neat lichen]

no worries, thank you anyway

[dense walrus]

TUM is a pain, good luck. There’s very limited information, at least for AE,

[mellow venture]

They dont present a few of the specifics themselves

Going on the DAAD website might help

[gray glade]

guys i have a q, if u mess up the december SAT and have to apply to the US, will the march results be out in time for you to apply with them instead?

[odd night]

what year are you applying?

[gray glade]

2022

[odd night]

as in, you start college in sept 2022?

@gray glade

[gray glade]

ye

[odd night]

dec is already too late for ED/EA admissions and is pushing RD deadlines, which are in january

it can take up to 4 weeks for SAT scores to come out and march is well past any application deadlines

if you are going to take and submit it, you need to do so ASAP and you should ideally already be working on your application

[gray glade]

hmmmmmmm

ok thanks

[dense walrus]

f the examination performances are documented by preliminary results reports "Statement of Results" or "Candidate Statement of Provisional Results" of the "Awarding Bodies" (examination authorities) and / or the "Examinations Centers" (examination centers), these can be used as a basis for the Decision about the university entrance qualification. However, applicants are obliged to submit their official examination certificates by the beginning of the second semester.

What does this mean?

The preliminary results include predicted grades?

if i get into this German uni, this will be a bigger achievement than getting into ur ivy leagues

[mellow venture]

No not really

U should the fucking ridiculous amount of ECs ivy applicants have

But getting into a german uni is sick either way

[dense walrus]

Was joking

[mellow venture]

I will murder you

[dense walrus]

Will end this misery idm

[odd night]

anywhere in the US at this point

ik people applying to the UCs with entire apps developed and sht

[mellow venture]

Yea thats my second reason for not choosing US

The first is obv fees

Even with fucking stipends

[odd night]

i can afford it but ion even wanna go

like

whats the point

everyone else is so smart

[mellow venture]

Theyre p pretentious from what ive heard

So dw

Honestly joke on them for getting a degree in stuff theyre alr “masters” at

And paying that much

[rapid hollow]

do NOT apply to Caribbean med schools

the US and canada do not recommend it at all

and you'll be in huge amounts of debt soon after

the quality of medicine is trash, they just care about money

[cedar hollow]

hmmmm

[burnt fox]

is it better too apply too oxbridge or focus on imperial,kings, UCL. Cause i’m deciding if i wanna apply too cambridge or oxford but i’m not sure if it’s better too apply to the other ones. What would you say is better?

[ashen brook]

in the UK, you can put 5 choices into one application

so if you want those 5 can be Oxbridge + Imperial + Kings + UCL. however since all of these unis have high grade reqs, only do this if you're v confident in your A level grades or willing to gamble (e.g cos you have safety options in another country)

[gaunt lance]

which universities in china are perfect for people who want to take animation courses

[dense walrus]

Japan

[gaunt lance]

i should have known

[burnt fox]

i mean it’s not how you apply, it more about their teaching methods and which people preferred what cause i heard oxford and cambridge is old school in a way and imperials course is newer

[ashen brook]

this kind of matches what ive heard as well, however beyond that I dont have much more info in this respect

perhaps @quiet flame can help when he gets a chance to see this, since he did his course in UCL

[quiet flame]

U can't apply to both Oxford and Cambridge - u gotta pick one

[burnt fox]

yea i know you can’t apply too both, I really just wanna find out the difference between oxbridge and others. I know cambridge is more essays and stuff but i’m debating if i even wanna apply too oxbridge rn or focus on other unis

[slow violet]

Imo go for the places you like the:

• pedagogy
• faculty
• research fields
• vibes

Like try talking to someone who you know has gone there and you'll sorta figure it out

[ornate sleet]

Although I'm kinda repeating what u said, i chose my uni by looking at the course content (although it's the same course, different uni have different approaches/ teaching styles/ exam styles, choose the one that suits u most). Look into their website on uni life and student unions too.

[burnt fox]

thanks all :)),

[burnt fox]

do you know anyone here that went to one of those unis?

[hard basalt]

https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/recognition-and-acceptance/country/germany/

So uh question

Is this referring to 8021 English? Or does this also apply to the 9093 AS English exam?

[dense walrus]

FUCKKKK

I DIDNT KNOW THIS

if that means AS 9093 is accepted, then can i grind it out by May June?

[hard basalt]

I've emailed Cambridge about it but idk if they'll reply anytime soon 🤷‍♂️

[dense walrus]

i think EGP is not accepted but the 9093 is

[hard basalt]

What is the deal with 8021 anyways? Did Cambridge just not get around to releasing the A level portion of it?

[hard basalt]

EGP being 8021?

[dense walrus]

yes

Im giving my 8021 exam on october 4th as well. why is my life like this

[hard basalt]

Well that's nice

Cuz my school doesn't rlly offer much support for a level english

[dense walrus]

do i drop out of it or what?

[hard basalt]

And they just changed the syllabus -_-

[hard basalt]

No idea, sorry

U also planning to go to germany?

[dense walrus]

same., we were pushing for 9093 at the start of AS but they said no. I wasnt even planning to go for germany then but everything changed

[dense walrus]

yea

[hard basalt]

Oh nice

Trying to figure out requirements and stuff has been...confusing at times

[dense walrus]

very

still have no idea if predicted grades are allowed

some people say yes, others say no

[hard basalt]

Oh definitely not from what I've read

I think u'll have to wait a semester for those

[dense walrus]

but it doesnt make any sense, may june is when everyone gives their a levels. except india ofc.

[hard basalt]

I think I can do fine with 9093 AS cuz there's actually resources for how to study on it, but for the new syllabus A2 level material there's basically nothing lol

[hard basalt]

IKR

The results come out like one month after the deadline 😭

[dense walrus]

exactlly

im going to link the website where it says you can submit results in ur second semester.

[hard basalt]

That sounds interesting

[dense walrus]

I dont understand this, arent statement of results the official results

but then the last line implies we can use predicted grades right

https://anabin.kmk.org/no_cache/filter/schulabschluesse-mit-hochschulzugang.html#land_gewaehlt

[hard basalt]

I think provisional results are the ones that come out on August 15 or something

I don't think those are the same as predicted grades

https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/recognition-and-acceptance/country/germany/applying-to-universities-in-germany/

[dense walrus]

then what are the official examination certificates

Also where are you applying?

well ive emailed uni assist

about the language

[hard basalt]

Ooh send me the reply plz

[dense walrus]

oh i get it

so on august 15, those are results before rechecks and stuff

[hard basalt]

Altho don't they specifically have a line in their "contact us" page saying inquiries about course requirements should be routed to specific unis?

[hard basalt]

Looks like it

[dense walrus]

lol TUM says to use uni assist, and they state they cannot help you directly so they give general info

[hard basalt]

Yeah I tried emailing one or two unis about that

And all they said was

They would only consider my inquiry in the context of a full on application

Which...doesn't help much for me trying to figure out what AS/A levels to take

[dense walrus]

Damn looks like I’ll have to take a gap year

Fuck this life, I cant do this shit anymore

There’s always a hurdle or something screwing me over

[hard basalt]

Anabin is also confusing the hell out of me with this

If the classification according to the new version is more favorable, it can be used from the date of admission in the summer semester 2022.
What does "more favorable" even mean?

[dense walrus]

You chose international A level

[hard basalt]

Yep

[dense walrus]

this is actually so depressing. The amount of countries ive had to cancel out. now my only option is my safety option

[hard basalt]

Safety option?

[dense walrus]

Like the university where u know you will 100% get in just in case you get rejected elsewhere

[hard basalt]

Ah

[faint pulsar]

Which universities are u applying to?

[dense walrus]

TUM

[faint pulsar]

Ahh

which program?

[dense walrus]

Aerospace

[faint pulsar]

Ohh

is it in english?

[dense walrus]

Yea

But you need A2 German

[faint pulsar]

Oh ok

Im at A1 now

when is the application deadline?

[dense walrus]

Oh nice, so do u have to take tests for each level or can I directly take an A2 exam

[dense walrus]

July 15th

[faint pulsar]

U can take directly

[dense walrus]

Oh ok

[faint pulsar]

I did a diagnostic test online and it came as A2

[hard basalt]

I think I'm around A2ish also

Any advice for practicing speaking German?

I've been trying to read news articles/watch daily new briefings to practice but it's been tedious

[drifting snow]

Anyone here from bangalore? I have to choose between St Joseph's and Christ. Which one of these two is better in terms of everything, from education to environment?

[faint pulsar]

I think both are good so ig maybe choose the one which closer to you

[hasty badger]

Is malaysia a good place for higher studies

[runic pivot]

msia is definitely a good place for higher studies 🙂

malaysia best country

[drifting snow]

depends really. I did my A-Levels in Sunway College, Selangor and it was pretty good. But for degree, unless you go to University of Malaya or other such unis, it really isn't worth it

most private unis here just want the money

plus university of malaya is hard to get into if u aren't malay

So, are malaysian unis worth it? Depends on your course/major. Is it the best option? Probably not

[dire bough]

Try your best and go Singapore instead

[hard basalt]

What's their email, I can't find it on their site

[dense walrus]

you have submit a query form and they will email you back

idk why i said i would "email" my bad

Where is their contact form? It just keeps looping back to the same page

Ah wait I found it

[steel remnant]

i know studying medicine in canada isnt cheap at all but is there some unis u guys know that is at a limit of 20,000$ or below annually coz im seeing higher
then that

[cedar hollow]

https://www.afmc.ca/sites/default/files/pdf/2021_admission-requirements_EN.pdf

U can check here

[cedar hollow]

mcgill is 45K thats the cheapest i think

probably applying to canadian med is not a good idea is you are international

there's only 17 med schools and half dont accept international students

the others have like 5 spots for internationals each

nothing below 20K sry

[karmic mountain]

what is the most affordable place in Europe to study CS?

[mellow venture]

No one single place in europe

I recommend u look into specific unis all around

[hard basalt]

@dense walrus uni assist respond to u yet? They just told me they can only provide me with binding information once they've processsed my application documents. Which...doesn't help me much.

[steel remnant]

😦 thanks anyways

[dense walrus]

Yea same

Idk why they responded the first time

[hard basalt]

Welp

[hard basalt]

The first time?

[dense walrus]

I asked if predicted grades were enough:. They said no and gave a few links

But now they’re back to a what seems like an automated message

[hard basalt]

Ah

Any ideas as to who to ask to clarify about A level language requirements?

I did email Cambridge but they were just like "check with ur specific uni"

And r/germany is giving me contradictory information...one guy is telling me English is accepted, another tells me it isn't.

[dense walrus]

Honestly just gotta apply and hope for the best

[hard basalt]

Well that's not much help for me deciding whether to take AS/A English

I'd much rather know if AS English is accepted cuz I'm self studying it and the A2 stuff is 😬 since they changed the syllabus

[dense walrus]

You’re just entering AS?

@hard basalt

[hard basalt]

Yeah like my school doesn't officially support it

So I'll probably have to do it outside of them and self study it

[waxen elm]

Hello...
MBBS aspirant here...
id like to know what practicals r involved in MBBS.......cos although im not afraid of seeing blood im not so sure about the surgery part..

[ocean echo]

AS general paper is more than enough unless ur applying for an english language course

[karmic mountain]

ok

[hard basalt]

According to this https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/recognition-and-acceptance/country/germany/

The Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB) has recommended that an A Level in Business Studies be considered for university admission; however, some institutions may regard it as a vocational subject. Accounting, Design & Technology and Thinking Skills have not been recommended for university admission so will, in all probability, not be accepted as one of the three required A Levels. In addition, an AS Level in (English) General Paper will not be accepted to meet the compulsory AS Level minimum in a language requirement.

[ocean echo]

what da heeeeeeeell

just see if IELTS works

IELTS is way way simpler

[hard basalt]

Ah nope that's not accepted

Iirc

According to anabin

[ocean echo]

thats a freaking rip

and rly stupid imo

[hard basalt]

They don't accept English tests that r done outside of an AS/A level

[ocean echo]

ok thts kind of but also really stupid

but check the website of the unis themselves as well

[hard basalt]

But I've read anecdotes on r/germany that they don't accept A level English even? Which is weird as hell cuz anabin doesn't make any mention of english not being accepted

[hard basalt]

Ah the thing is

They just point u back to the anabin page

And if u try to contact them about accepted A levels all they say is "make a college application"

[ocean echo]

btw dont click scam

[mellow venture]

Why do u guys need ielts for germany when most of the universities ask for german lang requirements

[dense walrus]

You need both

Well I mean depends on the course if it’s fully taught in German or partially

Yo guys does anyone know if I can take IELTS after the October 16 deadline in UCAS for medicine and just include my IELTS admissions ID or no

[feral scaffold]

UCAS usually checks your English proficiency first

so its better to submit earlier

i need an advice on going to university at the age of 21 possibly 22

my friends all at the age of 17 - 19 is going to uni and i feel socially weird

the reason why im going so late is cos i finished my igcse late and i moved school (in different countries) a lot as a result i had to go back a few levels

and i finished my IGCSE at the age of 18 and im taking AS level at 19 rn

next year (2022) i hope i get into a university but thats after my A levels so

so any advice in going to university late?

[dense walrus]

Doesn’t matter what age you go to university

With your case you can’t change anything, you are going to go to university at that age

[sudden sparrow]

but like some uni's have minimum age requirements

right

[dense walrus]

i haven’t seen anything like that but that’s prolly my shitty research but even if that’s the case, you’ll still pass the minimum age requirement

[sudden sparrow]

but like im looking for a scholarship

most of them requires a minimum age requirements

[dense walrus]

If there’s a minimum age requirement, let’s say 17. That would mean 17 and over

So you would still meet the requirements

[sudden sparrow]

i mean most of them says under the age 21

thats maximum

[dense walrus]

I don’t really know what you can do, maybe someone else can help with that. But try contacting the university and present your case and see what they have to say about that

[sudden sparrow]

i see

btw is A level good to apply for international university

?

[dense walrus]

Ofc

It is internationally recognised

[sudden sparrow]

what about As only?

[dense walrus]

Depends on the uni I think. Generally you apply with your AS and predicted A2. I don’t know much so someone else is better off answering that

What country and uni are you looking at btw

[sudden sparrow]

theres one that i can apply and fit the requirements

and its in Russia

but i have to take some russian course

but maybe im thinking to do A levels nxt year

but we'll see

[ocean echo]

minimum, not maximum age requirements

ie smthing like u have to be >16 or >17 years old

applying to a uni, even undergrad courses as a 40 year old, is still possible

although for something like 40 years old it would be really hard to actually get in due to how different the schooling system was 20 years ago

but smthing like 21 years old shouldnt affect u

if u did ur A levels the year to a maximum of 2 years before u join uni, u should be totally fine

[cedar hollow]

like everyone else has said, no

[karmic mountain]

someone doing bachelors in Germany? I came to know that in Germany bachelors is free of cost even for international students. is that right?

[dense walrus]

For public universities yes, there’s a service charge which depends on the university. It’s in the low hundreds

[vestal pumice]

how much time would we need to prepare for TOEFL?

[cedar hollow]

If English is your first language then little to none

[karmic mountain]

ok ty.

[pine girder]

Helloo

Does anyone know the universities that offer scholarship for next year in Turkey

[tiny lagoon]

Which course are u interested in?

[lime heart]

Hey guys if I take 4 a levels and succeed with 3 a stars and 1 c, will universities in the uk that only require like 3 a levels look into your fourth and reject you?

[dire oriole]

Well, consider someone with 3 subjects and got A*. Compared to him, you have an extra C! So you do have an upperhand.

[lime heart]

What if like that c was a for chemistry

And the other a stars are for math and the other two sciences when I apply for engineering

I plan to major in engineering

Technically most engineering requirements either need biology or chem or compsci but I’m still unsure about getting a grade c for my fourth a level

[dense walrus]

What is the minimum grades you need?
