[dense walrus]

Should be listen on the university website

c is usually the minimum

But that also depends on the uni, a lot can have higher grade requirements but the lowest I’ve seen is C

[lime heart]

AAB

[ocean echo]

ngl but if ur asking that question u havent rly put ur research into it

depends on the course ur applying for, if the 4th was really relevant eg u took chem phy bio math and ur bio was the C and u were applying for med yes they care
if it was engineering they wont

but also depends on whether A level bio is a minimum requirement for the uni

its uni dependant

[lime heart]

oh so they just care about your three a levels

they don't rlly care about the mark for the fourth one like "aight you only got one C but the rest are A's, welcome to our uni"

[odd night]

depends, some unis have the grade requirements for specific subjects

like if im applying to CS and need an A*AA, its possible the A* has to be maths

like i have to have an A* in maths

so id advise looking it up on the uni website to be sure

[lime heart]

yeah ik

ok let me set an example

the requirements for the engineering field I chose at a certain university requires AAA

A is mandatory for math and physics

and the other A can be for any other subject like bio, chem, compsci, fm (but not artistic subjects I would say like: english, literature, gpr, business)

So I did get three A's

A - math
A- Physics
A- Biology

but got a C for Chemistry

I took the fourth A level subject although it was not mentioned in the requirements

If I submitted my grades to the university, will they reject me despite my 3 A's because they noticed that I got a C on my fourth A level subject?

[dense walrus]

So they require 3 A levels and you did 4? To me it looks like you should be good

[lime heart]

they don't care about my mark for the 4th one?

[tranquil summit]

For the UK they only ask for three they don't look at the 4th one

As long as the three satisfy the requirement

Like obviously you can't apply to chemistry without chemistry

[lime heart]

oh ok I shouldn't be too worried about balancing out all 4 of them, thanks mushu

wait were u the guy who went to cambridge university?

[tranquil summit]

Not a guy and also didn't go to Cambridge😂

I think you're referring to Auri

[lime heart]

oh right mb

sorry about that xd

[odd night]

they don't have the grounds to do so since it doesn't say anything about a fourth subject in requirements

[faint pulsar]

Lol I just applied to cambridge now

[odd night]

i am currently applying !

[faint pulsar]

Nice

which UK unis are u applying to?

[lime heart]

ucl, imperial, kings

[faint pulsar]

Im applying to all the big ones coz i have safe options in other countries

Nice

for me Cambridge Imperial UCL LSE and warwick

[lime heart]

oh yeah warwick

I think I will die in cambridge lol

[faint pulsar]

ye im applying math

[faint pulsar]

Same but I dont expect to get in anyways

[lime heart]

I want to find a prestigious university somewhere in the UK far from london or any bustling city

I kinda considered cambridge at first but idk where else to go

[faint pulsar]

St andrews?

[lime heart]

hmm

there's no night time in Scotland

so basically the whole 24 hours will just be daylight

[faint pulsar]

Oh lol

idk tbh

most of the prestigious ones are in london

maybe durham?

[cedar hollow]

have you applied in canada?

[faint pulsar]

Yeah applied 1 so far

[cedar hollow]

which

[faint pulsar]

Alberta

[cedar hollow]

y

[faint pulsar]

wdym?

[tranquil summit]

It's really not don't worry

A) it's not that far up north
B) there will not be sun. Just rain. Sunlight is a myth.
C) the above causes a lot of clouds

[tranquil summit]

Y'all smart

[faint pulsar]

nah nah not smart

just applying to all the top ones coz I have backups elsewhere

so might as well try my luck

[tranquil summit]

Lol fair

Also London is too expensive for me😂

[faint pulsar]

Yeah its expensive f

[tranquil summit]

And I don't really want to live there

[faint pulsar]

only chose LSE coz low standard offer

[tranquil summit]

It's just too much

[faint pulsar]

AAA I think

for my course

[tranquil summit]

Wow Manchester was A* A* A for physics

[faint pulsar]

so ye if I get in might as well keep that as insurance

[faint pulsar]

Manchester is 3A* this year

f

[tranquil summit]

THE FUCK?

[faint pulsar]

Yeah apparently

[tranquil summit]

Ik inflation was bad

[faint pulsar]

ye lol

[tranquil summit]

But I thought they weren't like allowed to do that

[faint pulsar]

yeah they should at least keep an entrance test or something

imperial is doing that

[tranquil summit]

Oh well I'm already in 😂

[faint pulsar]

lolll

heavy grade inflation f

just checked now

50% of ppl got a

in AS

[tranquil summit]

BRUH

[faint pulsar]

yeah f

[odd night]

cambridge ucl bristol edinburgh and durham

my grades so far are rlly good and i have decent stuff on my SOP so. manifesting

[faint pulsar]

ohhh nice

if ur grades are good u should get into most of them

[odd night]

i would hope so

all good until AS just need to pull through this year

[faint pulsar]

Yeah

Same ig

What course are you applying for?

[odd night]

computer science

[faint pulsar]

Ohh nice

im applying Math

[odd night]

good luck!

i would hate to do maths at uni ive had enough at school

[cedar hollow]

no i meant like why alberta?

does it have a particular program you want?

[faint pulsar]

CS

its pretty good for CS

thats why

and they have a scholarship

[cedar hollow]

gotchu

[faint pulsar]

Yeah

[lime heart]

um for those who take like mechanical or aerospace eng, is chemistry really needed?

I didn't study chem for my igcse's and now I'm taking them for A-level, fearing that the courses in uni will have an identical standard to the A-level chemistry

[odd night]

most eng courses require chem but i would say check the subject requirements for specific unis you're looking at since it can differ

[dense walrus]

Depends where u apply

[lime heart]

UK

I check the requirements

it's usually physics and math at an A grade

[dense walrus]

Yea but they also need a third a level

[lime heart]

the 3rd subject can be any as long as it's not like gpr/literature

[dense walrus]

Oh ok

[lime heart]

like those subjects where u use thoughts and philisophical stuff

[dense walrus]

Yea for aerospace it’s mainly math and physics

[lime heart]

I was hoping someone who is either an undergraduate or a postgraduate can help

[dense walrus]

But you’ll need some knowledge of Chemistry in the course

Does it have a foundation year?

[lime heart]

how much knowledge tho

[dense walrus]

Or is it a 3 year course

[lime heart]

I plan for 3 yrs for my undergrad

[dense walrus]

Oh well if you have atleast AS chem you should be fine

[lime heart]

OH THANK GOODNESS

[dense walrus]

This was for Canada, but they have a foundation year

Best is to contact the university and ask directly

[lime heart]

oh alright then, thanks for the guidance

[ocean echo]

id still recommend chem as a third if ur only taking phy and math

[ocean echo]

oh
that changes everything yikes, then i dont recommend chem in A levels at all or your gonna have a really hard time

[unique geyser]

hello guys,
i want to know if it’s possible to get a scholarship in britain or usa or canada for international students in medicine major , my grades are straight A’s and my family cant afford getting me to college and i really want to study medicine in these countries, if anyone knows any information about fully funded scholarships there and how to apply or anything please ping me and inform me i would be really grateful

[odd night]

scholarships in the UK for internationals are usually incredibly difficult and i don't know / think any exist for med unless you have been doing stuff beyond just grades

you can apply for financial aid in the US but that is generally shitty for internationals too unless you go to harvard or something

[unique geyser]

then if it’s impossible for int. students in the us and uk , what other countries are suggested

[odd night]

not impossible but usually very difficult

i don't know anything about canada sorry

[unique geyser]

do you know how can i apply to them and try my luck?

[odd night]

scholarships? also no

i did not apply for them so i dont know anything about them

if you mean unis in general i can help you!

[unique geyser]

applying to unis is fine for me, but scholarships, alright anyways thank you so much

and if anyone else have anything to add please that would be helpful

[plucky ermine]

My sister wants to apply to the open university…
She wants to know whether it’s well respected.

[dense walrus]

You can try Europe but a lot of courses prolly won’t be in English but you can have a look. The medical field requires good communication skills so I wouldn’t be surprised if you will need a close to fluent understanding of the language

You can take a gap year and learn the language as well

[cedar hollow]

Unfortunately thats a big no for canada

there's almost no financial aid for med unless you get bursary which still means you gotta pay 75% of the tuition which is alot

and ofc I dont know you well so you could very well be qualified but don't apply for med in Canada if your an international, its gonna be a waste of money. there's like 20 spots in total for international med school nationwide

[unique geyser]

oh okay , thank you so much for this information that helped a lot appreciated

[drowsy acorn]

Hi, I just want to know if it is to take the computer programming aspect of electrical engineering. From my research, it is also known as Electrical and computer engineering or ECE (not to confuse with electrical communication engineering. But the problem is that I did not take computer engineering for As and A level. My friends and Seniors informed me that computer programming is still possible, plus, electrical engineering is a pretty broad field. I just want to know how this would turn out.

The subjects i have chosen are Pure and Stat, Chem, and Physics for A level

If okay, I just want to see if there is a list of the uni that can provide that degree (any website, picture or just name is fine)

[faint pulsar]

Guys got into Warwick!!!

[gaunt helm]

Hey I also want to do medicine and I have researched it. The US and Canada only has medicine as a PostGrad degree so you'll have to do a bachelors in health sciences, take the MCAT and CARMS and then apply for a 4year MD program. Scholarships are difficult and the tuition is very high. It can take you 8-10 years to become a doctor. In the UK and Ireland, medicine is an undergraduate degree however unless you're EU(only applicable to Ireland post-Brexit), the tuition is very high. This is the harsh truth that if you want to do medicine in the US, UK, Canada or Ireland, it is impossible to do it without taking out gigantic student loans. Other option: QMUL, Malta at 27000 EUR per year for 5 years with a degree from QMUL. NewcastleUni, Malaysia at 21500EUR for 5 years. RCSI-Bahrain/Malaysia has lower fee + scholarship opps.

If you speak B1-B2 German, you can apply to germany for medicine they have amazing quality of education and free education. This is similar for other West EU countries and Nordic countries: education in native language and low tuition. In the east EU, medicine in English has an okay quality but it is much much cheaper than UK, US, Canada. In the EU, medicine is a 6 year degree + 1 year internship. It awards you an MD degree. Italy has a high quality of education with a low fee ranging from 0-4000 EUR per year for 6 years. Poland has a good-okay quality of education with fee ranging from 8000-14000 EUR per year for 6 years. There are other East EU countries such as Lithuania, Estonia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria etc. where you can study medicine in English but Italy and Poland are considered to be the best options for medicine in english in the EU. Always remember that you will have to learn a little bit of native language even if you're studying in english because you'll need to be able to understand the patient (but many doctors translate).

I got all this info from r/medicalschoolEU from reddit so check it out if you need help.

[gaunt helm]

Congratulations! I don't know you but I'm very happy for you lol

[faint pulsar]

lol

[odd night]

congrats!!

[faint pulsar]

Thanks!

[dense walrus]

Congrats

[cedar hollow]

Should I take a gap year for like, SATs and IELTS, I don't think IELTS is supposed to be hard or useful for that matter?

[cedar hollow]

This is very good stuff, except you dont have to do a bachelor's in health science necessarily

You can do a BA and still apply to med

Just need to fulfill the pre reqs

[ocean echo]

depends from person to person
but gap years are more for mapping out ur life and career path, and mostly about refining that

[tranquil summit]

IELTS isn't hard, if you've done IG English you should be good to go after doing 2-3 practice papers so all you need is like two weeks ig. And if you need more than that, just use your summer
I didn't do SAT so I can't comment on that but nearly everyone does it in conjunction with AS so I'm sure you can do it too!

[ocean echo]

^

SAT is honestly more about understanding the exam than the content

[cedar hollow]

Thanks, appreciate the help.

[ocean echo]

Just use Khan Academy to prep for SATs, if that doesn't yield scores of 1400+ in like about 24 hours of practice, you can look into proper SAT prep books

[tranquil summit]

No worries, you should be able to find practice papers for IELTS online btw, just Google it (that's what I did)
For the writing section, look at sample answers because for some reason they're really picky about how they like it

[cedar hollow]

Is it worth it, for Unis abroad I mean, especially the UK?

SATs are US specific or so I heard.

[ocean echo]

not necessarily

[tranquil summit]

IELTS? It's just to prove that you can English really. Nobody is going to think your application is any better or worse for doing (or not doing) it

[cedar hollow]

Cambridge asks for a English qualification, does IGCSE First Language count?

[tranquil summit]

I did English as a second language for IG and wasn't sure if it was accepted so I wrote IELTS to be on the safe side

[odd night]

i took the SAT and uhh that depends on a lot

[tranquil summit]

Check the requirements page or send them an email

[odd night]

like

[tranquil summit]

Which cycle are you applying for?

[odd night]

where are you planning to apply [country and unis], what do you plan to study, and what cycle

[cedar hollow]

Hm, okay, I did First Language, I'll be applying in 2023.

[odd night]

and have you tried any SAT papers before

[odd night]

yes the SAT is only for the US really

not worth doing it for anywhere else i dont think

[tranquil summit]

And a uni in Finland according To hayzy

[cedar hollow]

UK is the first preference, I will go for US if it doesn't work, other choices include Germany and other Nordic countries, still haven't considered alternatives.

[odd night]

you do not need the SAT for the UK

the US is a very complicated process so good luck with it as a backup - are there certain unis you are consdering there?

[cedar hollow]

I'm aware but was just wondering, doesn't hurt to go for it I guess.

[tranquil summit]

So you have time, send them an email (they're probably very busy with this cycle of applications since the deadline is in 3 days so be patient) and just check that your English qualification is applicable

[cedar hollow]

Not yet, as I said I haven't really considered alternatives to the UK, CS at Cambridge is the plan for now.

[odd night]

well that depends, if you could save the time and money from the SAT and spend it revising for a levels instead that might be beneficial

[odd night]

dont count on it

not to be harsh but

cambridge is difficut

and you should always have a safe backup

unless youre okay with taking a gap year

[tranquil summit]

I mean you have the other 4 on UCAS

Just make sure you have safety nets there

[cedar hollow]

Yes, I'll figure something within the next year, I'll be done with A2s in Oct/Nov 2022.

[odd night]

^^ thats what i mean dont just plan for cambridge

[cedar hollow]

Hmm, I see.

[tranquil summit]

Because obviously there are so many people applying to Cambridge that even if you are good enough, it might just be chance

Cuz there'll be another 500 people who are equally qualified

Forgive the pessimistic view

[odd night]

yeah i was looking at the stats for queens [where i just applied] and its 12 applications per seat

so even if youre qualified there is always an aspect of chance bc there are 11 others youre up against

[odd night]

honestly its just realistic

[faint pulsar]

CS is very competitive at cam

its competitive everywhere in fact lol

even UCL CS has like a 15% offer rate or something

[odd night]

yeah

[cedar hollow]

Mm, game of luck.

[pine girder]

Medicine or architectural engineering

[gaunt helm]

Yep thats right. Any major is fine as long as you meet the pre-requisites and score well on the MCAT. People just usually take health sciences since its the most relevant and will help you on the MCAT.

[tiny lagoon]

I have researched about medicine in turkey- mostly on Koc University in Istanbul, you can ask any qn related to that.

[pine girder]

Does it offer scholarships or is it public school and is it a good known University

[tiny lagoon]

Yes it offers scholarships, and yes it is a recognized university situated in Istanbul.
It also offers other courses, you can look em up on their website.

It is an international private university so most of the courses are taught in English

• including Medicine

Scholarships are mostly merit based

[steel remnant]

yo @tiny lagoon , do u know anything about turkish cyprus unis?

for medicine

if they are accredited around the world

coz i hear from people unis in north cyprus are recognized and from some i hear they arent recognized

[tiny lagoon]

Nope idk bout that sry

[steel remnant]

np

[pine girder]

So like how can I got a scholarship from them and thanks

[tiny lagoon]

Um..you need good A level grades, and be academically good, perform well in their interview and if they see the qualities in you, they would give
Btw the scholarship varies from 25%-100%
It depends on how good you are and somewhat on what course u chose
Like for medicine I don’t think they give 100% but I’m not sure

[pine girder]

Alright thanks

[tiny lagoon]

Np

[steel remnant]

does anybody know about a university in U.K in Birmingham called Aston university

if its good or not

(for medicine MBChB)

[vale wolf]

I wanna do something economics/maths so according to my research LSE, Cambridge, UCL, Warwick are my top choices for now. any suggestions for the 5th?

[faint pulsar]

Btw cambridge deadline is over

[vale wolf]

yeah im year 12 I'm not applying this year

[faint pulsar]

oh ok

u have a lot of time lol

you can decide later

but ye these 4 are good

[nova magnet]

so i want to do vet med. i'm thinking uk, usa and australia but i'm not too sure about usa bcuz its gonna be a 4+4. any uni suggestions from these countries?

[arctic orbit]

dont click on it

[empty olive]

dont click on what

[cedar hollow]

Anyone goes middlesex here?

[round jacinth]

middle sex

lo

l

[split jetty]

used to live in middlesex

[cedar hollow]

London campus?

[wispy swan]

hi guys, hope you are doing really great, i am really not sure about my university choice, the course i am interested in is computer science and i am opting to pursue it in the US, does anyone know any good university in the US that offers nice scholarships and is also reputed for my course?

[round jacinth]

well i mean

Harvard does afaik

but you have to be EXTREMELY lucky to get accepted especially for a course like computer science

worth trying though

[acoustic mulch]

For CS, Georgia Tech is very good too

[acoustic mulch]

Uni of Edinburgh and Surrey are good for vet med. It also depends on where you want to work in the future

[vivid lagoon]

Guys any good places for medicine ?

To do mbbs

[brisk raptor]

Oxford

[cedar hollow]

Hi guys, are there anyone studying in ANU (Australia National University)? I will be starting my foundations at ANUC next year and i was wondering if anyone has any tips or information i need to know before going to campus.

[vivid lagoon]

Thxx

[vague grotto]

Try to look for their reddit or discord server

usually these unis have their own student communities

[cedar hollow]

ok thanks

[weary flax]

Okay I have a question, do I need the AICE diploma for university? It feels like my school's the only one forcing us to do global perspectives AS level and at least 1 humanity just to get the diploma. The thing is I don't see anyone else which is doing CAIE A levels with any humanities or GP at all.

[lofty idol]

AICE is not necessary

Take whatever A Levels cater towards your degree/you enjoy

[weary flax]

How about for Portugal though? My parents can't seem to be bothered to ask the university :/

[reef marsh]

Affordable Medicine coz probably I feel like I will be independent and doing it on my own? plus reqs and should I contact the uni a year before aand specializations happen when I am studying medicine or I become a general surgeon then chose what specializations I'm going to specialize in?

[weary flax]

you do medicine

then go for surgery as a specific

then go for the specific of the surgery afterwards, I think

unsure

you should contact your uni as soon as possible tbh

[lofty idol]

AICE is not necessary anywhere

Go look at the uni’s website and check what subjects the major asks u for

[reef marsh]

MBBS--> Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery?

[weary flax]

I think it should be master's not sure.. wait for someone else to reply to this stuff

[reef marsh]

noo its not masters

Unless I got you wrong

[weary flax]

i think u have to do master's to practice medicine

lol

[reef marsh]

I dont think so or else MBBS would have been hella useless

[weary flax]

o interesting

most people go for master's tho

[reef marsh]

well obviously thats better but still mbbs is a basic degree which can be used to practice medicine

thats for masters thee short form

[steel remnant]

to go for masters u have to do bachelor first just like to enter grade 12 u need to have passed grade 11

[weary flax]

people usually do medicine masters to practice medicine is what i meant

[steel remnant]

ah mb

[reef marsh]

i think masters is needed to practice medicine in ur own clinic but not in a private hospital

not sure tbh

[steel remnant]

maybe u need masters to go for more dangerous surgeries

like neurons and stuff

but check google

[reef marsh]

well thats specializations

[steel remnant]

ah yes

[reef marsh]

like u'd get from a general surgeon

to a neurosurgeon or cardiacsurgeon

[steel remnant]

u need masters for specializations

[reef marsh]

oh rip

[steel remnant]

i think thats what my parents and everyone told me

[reef marsh]

idk lemme research and send it

[steel remnant]

okay

[reef marsh]

found nothing tbh

but but

i think u specialize in ur residency

[steel remnant]

so like u get payed and u still learn

[reef marsh]

yes

exactly

ii heard that somewhere

u still work as a surgeon and specialize while u do

[weary flax]

h

[steel remnant]

seems like a win win

[weary flax]

lol

[spark fjord]

Hey, do you guys know any countries that have good but affordable engineering colleges?? I know Germany does but the top colleges teach in german

[faint pulsar]

some are in english check the DAAD website

[dense walrus]

Yes the DAAD has a search where u can filter internationals programs by English

[dense walrus]

Also there’s no such thing as top unis in Germany, they all have a similar standing, you should go read r/Germany, they have a wiki where they give you a ton of information about studying in Germany

https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/wiki/studying?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[spark fjord]

Thank you so much

[agile badge]

Id like to do bioengineering any recommendations for uni

[lofty idol]

It depends on the country, what are you looking at rn?

[agile badge]

Any country is fine my search is still broad

[lofty idol]

Germany's p good for engineering! N the tuition fee is more friendly compared to the US/UK

But you'd have to learn the language for certain courses

I'd also recommend the UK if possible, Imperial's great for it

[cedar hollow]

Canada, McGill

Or maybe Toronto

[tranquil summit]

London's high budget tho, just for info, both living and tuition

[lofty idol]

Ye that's why I said if possible

My friend does bioeng in Imperial and he's been enjoying it

But he had to get a loan from his gov

[jolly marsh]

any recommendations for accounting?

[drowsy acorn]

Guys. Initially I was planning to become an electrical engineer focusing on power field but i have decided that I want to do programming and computer (oriented). Currently, I am doing A2 for Physics, chemistry, pure and statistics. Is it too late for me to join in computer engineering or is there any other field I can take to get closed to it.

[charred fern]

you need cs for programming

[void glen]

what

A Level CS is not a requirement in many universities?

[mellow venture]

A few unis do have cs as a requirement but for the most part ur good

Jus check the soecific uni

[drowsy acorn]

Okay, thanks you all

[round jacinth]

No you don't need a levels cs for cs at uni

if anything

at all the amazing unis they barely teach you programming

most of the time it's just maths

but check again just to be sure

[cedar hollow]

Any of you know any good universities accepting only IGCSE ?

[cedar hollow]

all do

[cedar hollow]

Most of them require A levels as well though

What I meant was, like, straight to uni without A levels

oh yeah there are few that accept only igcse

[cedar hollow]

that may be tough

i thought you meant which accept the igcse board

[cedar hollow]

Where I live, they accept only IG for uni admission

But I wanted to see if there are more options abroad

[cedar hollow]

Yeah sorry I wasn't specific

[twilit mulch]

To be fair he said “only IGCSE”

[cedar hollow]

he edited it after

[bright night]

How is University of Illinois @ Chicago? I got an acceptance from there

[cedar hollow]

So, if anyone interested, there's a way to find out universities that accept only IGCSE

https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/recognition-search/

Depending on your location

[cedar hollow]

The location you enter in the search*

[modern frost]

What is your major

[bright night]

Computer science… recommend any other good unis aswell pleasee im an avg student with good leadership skills

[dapper meteor]

I have 3A*s in my a levels and i have no idea what to do

[tiny lagoon]

Be happy (;

[dapper meteor]

as in what to major in

[tiny lagoon]

Happiness (:

[dapper meteor]

no

no more happiness left

[tiny lagoon]

Which subjects?

[dapper meteor]

bio chem physics

[tiny lagoon]

Nice

What’s ur interest?

Anything med related?

[dapper meteor]

im applying in med school

*schools

but i doubt i could get in

plus i dont find medicine that interesting

[tiny lagoon]

Why doubt? U have amazing grades MaSha Allah

[tiny lagoon]

Oops

Why?

[dapper meteor]

medicine is a practical science

research and labwork is something that i like more

[tiny lagoon]

U can go in biomedical sciences

[void glen]

Are you applying inside Pak

[tiny lagoon]

Ouch

[dapper meteor]

i am

i could probably fuck off abroad

but admissions closed almost everywhere

[void glen]

I think unis abroad give you at least a year to declare your major

but ofc not here

they do everything to make life harder for us here

[tiny lagoon]

Right
Admissions in pak are late

[dapper meteor]

gen1

[void glen]

I really hope I get accepted abroad so I can leave

[tiny lagoon]

There no other option than doc or eng

[dapper meteor]

exactly

i could probably do clinical research

or do some phd programme after medicine

but ill just be working more to get paid less

[tranquil summit]

not for med

practical research pays well

not so practical research pays not so well

[bright night]

University of Illinois @ Chicago or Monash university?

please help

[hoary gorge]

Monash university

[modern frost]

UIUC is decent

It isn't too expensive and has good cs rankings

I think its a good place to get an undergrad from

I have applied to it too

[drowsy acorn]

I am confused. So I am actively searching for universities with Computer and electronic engineering Beng but the websites keep sending me back to either computer science or electrical engineering even tho those 2 pairs are different

and the websites that have the degree I am searching for are from unis with really low ranking

I am also confused by the fact that computer engineering integrates electronic according to one of uni webpage so am i supposed to choose computer science?

[faint pulsar]

monash

[faint pulsar]

Bruh its not "decent" its Top 10 in the US

[bright night]

Most prolly going there Insha Allah

[faint pulsar]

Nice

Even I got in

[bright night]

Anyone going to monash from here?

[faint pulsar]

I got in

but idk if i'll go

[bright night]

Ohhh greatt

[faint pulsar]

Yeah did u get in for CS?

[bright night]

Yesss

I concerned about the borders wby why aint u going?

[faint pulsar]

coz its expensive f

[bright night]

Yess true

What are your other options?

[void glen]

wasn't it ED?

[faint pulsar]

Ualberta

[faint pulsar]

huh?

[bright night]

I may aswell go to Deakin its little cheaper than monash

[void glen]

Early Decision

[faint pulsar]

no

ED is only for US

monash is australia

[void glen]

ohh nice

[bright night]

@faint pulsar alberta canada one?

[faint pulsar]

ye

[void glen]

they dont offer scholarships?

[faint pulsar]

they gave 7.5k scholarship

alberta

[faint pulsar]

i think u apply later

[bright night]

Whats the final fees?

[faint pulsar]

for scholarship

[faint pulsar]

30k CAD a year for 4 years

[void glen]

what about NYU

still gonna apply for ED2?

[faint pulsar]

NYUAD

ED2

not NYU

[void glen]

yeah nice

I did ED1 but probably gonna get rejected

[faint pulsar]

Nah

dw

I did dartmouth ED1 hahah im getting rejected for sure

[void glen]

4% acceptance rate

[faint pulsar]

20% ED

acceptance rate

[void glen]

wait really

I didnt find that anywhere

or are you talking about Dartmouth

[void glen]

don't run away after giving me hope

[faint pulsar]

dartmouth

NYU isnt 4% for sure unless ur doing stern

[faint pulsar]

oh NYUAD f

u did NYUAD or NYU ED1?

[void glen]

AD

[faint pulsar]

Damn nice

I was gonna do AD

and btw idt its 4% lol

prolly 9%

for ED

[void glen]

idk yeah it's probably more for ED

[faint pulsar]

Yeah

[void glen]

but it's still very low

[faint pulsar]

Yeah ofc

[void glen]

I'm also stuck on submitting my grades because AS exams got cancelled in May here

[faint pulsar]

oh f

when r u doing them?

[void glen]

so I'm giving them rn and the result gets released in Jan

I emailed them today

[faint pulsar]

u should have applied ED2 then

why ED1

[void glen]

because the A Level results aren't a requirement

I just don't know what to put on the SRAR

[faint pulsar]

AS is a requirement tho right

A level isnt for sure

[void glen]

I dont think so

[faint pulsar]

hmm

[void glen]

I know other people who have applied too

[faint pulsar]

did u submit SAT?

[void glen]

with the same case

[faint pulsar]

oh ok

[void glen]

yeah

[faint pulsar]

ah nice

how much?

[void glen]

1500

[faint pulsar]

oh nice

how r ur ECs?

[void glen]

not good tbh

[faint pulsar]

Ah dw

abt it

[void glen]

we dont have many opportunities here and covid ruined it too

[faint pulsar]

NYUAD u have a solid chance

expecially coz of the SAT score

[void glen]

I'm literally gonna die if I get accepted lol

[faint pulsar]

Same for dartmouth hahah

ig my chances are 0

[void glen]

Miracles can happen

Good luck!

I hope both of us get in

[faint pulsar]

Ye hopefully lol

All the best!

[void glen]

Btw have you filled in the SRAR for any uni?

[faint pulsar]

I filled it on Commonapp

none of my unis asked for it

school directly sent the transcripts

[void glen]

ah ok

I learnt about it after submitting my application lol

[faint pulsar]

oh lol

how do u think ur essays are?

[void glen]

I honestly don't know

[faint pulsar]

oh

[void glen]

My family liked them tho

[faint pulsar]

lol I didnt even show my essays to my family

[void glen]

and the counsellor but I dont trust her lmao

[faint pulsar]

just showed them to counselor

lol

[void glen]

damn I wasn't confident about submitting them without showing it to a few people

[faint pulsar]

Yeah I showed it ofc

to some ppl

like seniors

[void glen]

ohh

mine was really personal so I didnt wanna show it to anyone else

[faint pulsar]

oh ok

[drowsy acorn]

So knowing that I screwed up my grades: BBBD from TAG

I was advised to retake the AS along with A level in May/June by my teacher.

My seniors rather recommend me to settle with lower universities which would be 10-15 ranked unis in UK.

Which one I should be doing?

[twilit mulch]

Depends on what you think you’re capable to do

If you think you can get AAAA then obv your gonna redo them

But if You’re fine going to a lower ranked university then pick that

You have to decide for yourself, it’s your life

[drowsy acorn]

yea of course

but I just want to know more pros and cons before making any decision

[faint pulsar]

What course are you doing?

depends on that

[drowsy acorn]

computer science

[faint pulsar]

oh

then idk the Top 10 universities need at least AAA

[drowsy acorn]

Saint Andrew is at top of the list and the minimum requirement is AAB

[faint pulsar]

oh ok

check standard entry grades tho

usually offers are that only

[drowsy acorn]

A* A* A 💀

[faint pulsar]

Damn

f

[drowsy acorn]

which is why I ought to retake the exams (if i wish to enter top unis)

[faint pulsar]

But when will u apply then

[cedar hollow]

How's Malaysia ?

[drowsy acorn]

Most of the unis I have searched into have deadlines in Jan (Am I not sure how this will turn out with TAG grades since they are based on A2 100%)

I am finalising my personal statement for Ucas this Monday. I have filled out other factors such as personal experience such as work and volunteering

I still do not know my predicted grades, yet

[faint pulsar]

oh ok

[livid oracle]

Any good choices for me to consider for Universities in Japan for Robotics after Cambridge ALs? I'm studying the language but it'd be more convenient if its taught in English

[faint pulsar]

https://www.studyinjapan.go.jp/en/planning/by-style/english-program/

idt they have robotics but engineering is there

[vestal lava]

How is Carleton University for business?

[cedar hollow]

Decent

[vestal lava]

Hmm could you elaborate a bit

Any good business schools in Canada that don't have a level maths as a prerequisite?

[cedar hollow]

Most if not all do

You can probably find more reliable info online

Cause maths is a very common pre-req that's required for a lot of majors nowadays

[lime heart]

Do universities in the UK only care about your A level grades or also your school?

[round jacinth]

a levels predicted

or a levels if you already sat your exams

[tranquil summit]

^^

[faint pulsar]

The best ones are Queens Ivey UBC Mcgill I think

[jolly marsh]

the predicted grades r the final mock exams done in sxul?

[lime heart]

depends on ur school

[fair trail]

Is anyone here going to Georgia Tech 👀

[steel remnant]

does anyone know if universities in poland is better or worse than in hungary (for ex: medical uni of warsaw vs medical uni of pecs)

[round jacinth]

pecs lol

sorry

[faint pulsar]

Idk about hungary but ik quite a few people who're doing med in poland

[steel remnant]

can you tell me more about it

how is the studying there, is it good or is it bad or can be improved

[faint pulsar]

that idk

[dapper meteor]

any good universities who start in spring?

basically anything i could get into rn

[cedar hollow]

Hello is anyone familiar with MIT for economics?

[faint pulsar]

MiT as in the on the US? It's good for sure but ig Uchicago is the best in the US

[fair trail]

Anyone going to Georgia Tech this spring

[unreal tapir]

Hi everyone
I am studying igcse with 9 subjects currently (grade 9)
My bro is doing AS with 3 subjects (grade 11)
i wanna know what schools are there in rottordam which offer my brothers syllabus
from my findings i only found IBDP over there
for me i found RISS school which offers igcse for 10 subjects
pls help me and tell which school is there for my bro hope you guys can help

ik there are British schools in Rotterdam but they are really expensive
my bro can't do ib as the school said that you cant because you are not studying ib syllabus
also for him its really hard as there are more subjects and the overall syllabus is harder
some of his friends have directly taken admission in uni for bachelors after getting the ig result so is there something like that in Rotterdam

[faint pulsar]

he can get into uni of applied sciences

they accept 2 AS 4 IG subjects I think

[unreal tapir]

he wants to study in the field of computer science so is there a uni for that

are there any uni in rotterdam which offers CS for igcse students (7 subjects)

[maiden canopy]

Tf

Fuck you @lusty zephyr

[dense walrus]

So I’m left with 2 choices:

Complete the first year of the bachelor in India and then study the rest of possible in Germany( not sure if the credits transfer). During that time I’ll be learning German as well

Or

Work for a year, preferably in the Aerospace industry for experience or even an internship and learn German at the same time. I also would like to explore CS, I have a very brief idea of it but it looks interesting.

Not asking you guys to make this decision for me but insights would be helpful

[spark fjord]

My cousin does aerospace eng over there

[spark fjord]

tbh MIT is obv best known for engineering and tech so idk abt economics

[fair trail]

Cool! Which year?

[cedar hollow]

I do plan on applying to UChicago as well, but MIT holds a high prestige worldwide so not sure if I should go for it since it is very competitive

[cedar hollow]

It has come up as top 5 in the qs ranking for economics over the years so i’m considering it

[round jacinth]

for econ you should also consider wharton then

UPenn

LSE

in the UK

[cedar hollow]

I have thought about LSE but it’s expensive for international students

[faint pulsar]

I dont like LSE tbh they place too much weightage on the personal statement and they reject very qualified ppl coz of that

[faint pulsar]

Nice

Atb for Uchicago their prompts are insane

[modern frost]

Go through with 1 year india atm. Unless you have a job eaiting on you don't believe that anyone will hire you

People are having tough time getting jobs with just bachellors so like I would recommend staying in education

[spark fjord]

I think he started 2 years ago, not sure though

[spark fjord]

nothing wrong in applying right? Go for it, apply to both and then you can choose where to go according to where you get in. All the best!

[fair trail]

Oh

[dense walrus]

My bad I worded that wrongly, I meant in the gap year I would work then apply for Germany

[swift spruce]

does anyone know any good engineering school at like south india

[brittle tundra]

hey guys im planning to do an undergrad in US and currently im studying for igcse which i have this feb. the only subject which i feel is relatively weak is english first language. its not that i dont know english, infact i prefer speaking english as if it were my mother tongue and i do have decent vocab. However i realise EFL is quite challenging and requires a lot of studyand practise. Ahead i plan to study engineering where i wont have much use of professional english, so i was thinking a better option might be to do english as second language whr i dont need to study and instead focus on my sciences and math. Can anyone tell me whether IGCSE ESL is good enough for top US universities? Since anyways im gonna give SAT which is half english subject I thought it would be but i just wanted to hear anyone’s opinion. (feel free to ping/dm me)

[modern frost]

I think you can avoid english as a subject by taking ielts or toefl but you will have to check it out

[modern frost]

I got that. Unless you have a fixed plan for a gap year, stayin in education. I would say don't expect to get an internship or like a job right away. You might end up not getting any work at all so like I would stay in education. Look into private colleges and write to the admin staff about the pathway for transfer students.

It would be wiser to find an institue that would facilitate your transfer instead of getting a job imo

[tranquil summit]

I applied to the UK with English second language and IELTS and had no issues if that helps

[brittle tundra]

oh alright

so ielts and toefl are good enough right?

i mean along with english second language

[tranquil summit]

Should be yeah

[cedar hollow]

I applied last year and got rejected from there for the same reason as well, I have made progress with my cv since so i’m not sure if adding that while applying a second year will be worth it

[faint pulsar]

Idt they care much about that they care if it matches with their course in my case it didnt match

[cedar hollow]

Unless ure a math megamind and u interned for 2+ years tour chances of getting in are very slim tbh, the criteria is very disappointing

[faint pulsar]

lol

even oxbridge doesnt care abt all that

[verbal sorrel]

hi ! idk where to ask this but would you recommend someone to take **IELTS **to have a certificate of English proficiency (for applying to colleges abroad) or just having your AS / A-level records of the English subject is acceptable as well? does anyone here have an experience on this (esp applying to colleges abroad w your A level scores)

[fathom talon]

check eng lang requirement on course page

usually C in al eng lang is enough

[verbal sorrel]

thank youu!

[fathom talon]

(they even accepts gcse/igcses)

[modern frost]

Anyone have any idea of University of Alberta for Computing science with honours? (Feel free to ping me)

[faint pulsar]

I got in for computing science but not honours

[modern frost]

I am asking if you would recommend it

[faint pulsar]

Yes its top 5 for CS in canada

[fathom talon]

anyone applying to biomed here?
Im finding a ucas ins choice
Now i put Manchester B940 ins
My predicted grades are A*AAA + A epq

[tranquil summit]

Isn't Manchester's uni code M20?

[fathom talon]

b940 is the course code

[steel remnant]

does anyone know what is Europass CV? it looks like i need it for some unis in europe

[tranquil summit]

Ah mb

[fathom talon]

yeah

[tranquil summit]

im in uom tho, if you need anything

[fathom talon]

Great

[elder needle]

Guys what extracurriculars should I do to get an admission in Germany?

[round jacinth]

what you enjoy

[dense walrus]

Don’t do some 1 hour webinar for a certificate

An Olympiad at a state level and internships and apprenticeships for more than a month will be relevant

All these need to be relevant to your degree program

It differs by university and type of admission(No restriction, Aptitude test or NC)

You will need to find the statutes. This will show the formula for grade conversion and what arcs they consider

[elder needle]

Please explain this

Btw, I am targetting universities with the an acceptance rate greater than 20%

[dense walrus]

What level is your German? And what degree program are you looking for

[elder needle]

I am in AS Level and I am preparing for A1 Level German at the moment. My first priority is biomedical engineering. Then I would like to go for Neuroscience or bioinformatics . If I am unable to go for these programs I would go for a double major of Biochemistry with another similar course

[dense walrus]

What level are you going to study till? Do you want to study in English or is German fine as well

[elder needle]

B2 Level or if time permits C1

[elder needle]

Its better if its in English, if not German is fine

[dense walrus]

https://www2.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/

Use this to search for english courses

[dense walrus]

when do you give your exams for A2?

[elder needle]

I am currently preparing for A1 in end of January.

[dense walrus]

I meant For A levels, A2

[elder needle]

Oh that. It’s gonna be in May June 2023

[dense walrus]

Well the application deadline is July 15 for most unis. You would receive grades in august. And you can’t apply with predicted grades unfortunately

[void glen]

so they want everyone to take a gap year?

[dense walrus]

Yea, I don’t get it. I mean surely there’s a way that I don’t know of cause most of the world gives a levels in May june.

And also why is information is so scarce about admissions

[cedar hollow]

hello

[cedar hollow]

Yeah, but can't they apply with their AS grades next year?

[dense walrus]

No you can’t, it says you need A level in connection with AS

[elder needle]

Oh I see

But it is actually kinda worth it. Considering the low tution costs

[magic drum]

Guyzz

Did anyone get admission to cambridge?

[twilit mulch]

Some got interviews

[elder needle]

@dense walrus How are the Austrian Public universities? Are they good?

[magic drum]

Anyone we know?

[twilit mulch]

wdym

whos we

yeah i km

[magic drum]

Like we on the server

[twilit mulch]

in this server no

but in the oxbridge server + 6th form server ye

[magic drum]

Any clue which degrees

[twilit mulch]

computer science / linguistics

most are CS

[magic drum]

Ahh ok

[dense walrus]

I haven’t done much research but someone recommended me FH joanneum and Wiener Neustadt for Aerospace engineering so have a look for your degree course. Some courses are offered in English

[dense walrus]

Depends on your circumstance. For me yes it’s absolutely worth it because I can’t afford other unis

[dense walrus]

Does being a private student negatively impact university admission?

[robust veldt]

@cedar hollow help me brazar

idk what to do for apps and all

besides carleton and york the rest have high percentage and ecs needed

[void glen]

@robust veldt

if we're Canadian citizens living and attending schools outside Canada

[round jacinth]

what

isn't OUAC 105 for international students as well

cause that's what I have used

[unreal tapir]

are there any uni in rotterdam which offers CS for igcse students (7 subjects)

??

[robust veldt]

Yh

I need my lor im waiting for it

[robust veldt]

Yea

[elder needle]

Same

[cedar hollow]

Yeah

[cedar hollow]

Yeah we use the 105

[cedar hollow]

Wdym?

[unreal tapir]

anyone??

[thick marsh]

does any1 know the qualifications need to study microbiology

n can v do interior designing without maths

[elder needle]

You will be needing A Levels Chemistry and Biology for sure. Some selective universities require maths or physics alongside it so it depends upon which university you plan on applying to

[thick marsh]

oh ok, thx 🙏

[sick sierra]

ok

[dense walrus]

what would the first document be? how else would i prove that I have done A-levels without the grade certificates?

[faint pulsar]

I asked you have to take gap year and apply

[dense walrus]

Oh yea ik about that, university is aligned with the German secondary academic year. I guess it’s a price to pay for no tuition fees lol

[faint pulsar]

Yeah true

I mean its mainly coz CIE takes so much time f

IB comes early

so they can apply

[dense walrus]

Yea it hurts seeing IB friends applying this year

But I’m thinking of doing a year here in India. I doubt the credits transfer but my parents are opposed to me sitting at home for year learning German.

obviously I’d do other things, explore other fields for example

[faint pulsar]

ikr

[dense walrus]

So you’re applying to Germany?

[faint pulsar]

Ye

but 2023

spring entry ig

[dense walrus]

Yea I’m applying for 2023 as well but winter. Unfortunately the degree program only starts in the winter

[elder needle]

I wonder what are the admission policies for Austria

[spark fjord]

for us the school is making us do AS in may june and A in feb series so that we can apply in India as well

[dense walrus]

Yh I wish I knew about Germany at the start of AS, but I planned to do A2 in May June after O/N AS exams

What are India’s application deadlines btw

[spark fjord]

it's mostly entrance exams here that go on from around Feb to April

[faint pulsar]

Yeah my school has may/june as well.

[uncut umbra]

Hi guys, when applying for scholarships for universities. Do they look into the grades from school exams? Like semester exams?

[elder mantle]

Are any of you looking into Singapore universities? If so is math in as and a levels required?

[sudden sparrow]

some do

[full bridge]

pretty sure it depends on your major

i am, and singapore uni's are quite hard to get in especially NUS, Nanyang, so preferably if u take as and a level it will help

[round jacinth]

it's in April

you should be done with everything by then

also they give offers in may

anyone here have information about studying medicine in Germany for international A level students please ping me so that i Can dm you privately, its really urgent

[dense walrus]

Not medicine but maybe I can help

[uncut umbra]

hi could anyone explain how study abroad programs works

[hard basalt]

According to anabin

Wait

I think medical courses also have like high grade requirements from what I've read

[round jacinth]

Ik wrong channel

but how much prep is needed for ielts

to get 7.5+

I speak english I would say 80% of the time

since it's p much the only language I speak in school

or what I speak most of the time

[dapper meteor]

you dont always need ielts for every uni i think

some might even consider o/a level english grades as proof enough

[tranquil summit]

Very little prep

Just do two practice papers before and see how you feel

[round jacinth]

good to hear lmao

I have two weeks to do it💀

[round jacinth]

some of the ones i'm applying to need it unfortunately

cause it's my second language

[tranquil summit]

I did prep the weekend before dw

I did English second language for IG and the pattern is very similar

Just for the writing, read a couple of sample answers first because they have a specific style they like

[round jacinth]

Alright will do

[round jacinth]

btw

if you don't mind me asking did you do ielts academic or general?

[tranquil summit]

Academic

Unis ask for academic only

[round jacinth]

alright

[mellow venture]

Man i was sitting there doing the writings like how tf do i know if i did well or not

[tranquil summit]

Honestly you don't really know

I just tried to mimic the style as well as I could and hoped for the best

[mellow venture]

Thats what im doing too lmao

[tranquil summit]

The writing was ultimately my lowest score

[mellow venture]

Sometimes the fucking charts are so garbage

[tranquil summit]

Yeee

[mellow venture]

Welp i got listening and reading

[tranquil summit]

Listening is exactly the same as IG english

[mellow venture]

We never had it in e1l aishu

Ive had it in some other classes before tho

Fairly simple

[tranquil summit]

Ahh see benefits of doing second language 😂

It's very simple

[mellow venture]

Ikr

E1l deadass useless

[tranquil summit]

Just like my math Phys degree💀

[mellow venture]

[tranquil summit]

Don't learn enough math or enough physics

But go and get a dual degree

[mellow venture]

Its okay aishu

You can learn probability theory

[tranquil summit]

See that would be useful

[mellow venture]

And a harmonic approxillator

[tranquil summit]

It's not that I like prob and stats

[mellow venture]

[tranquil summit]

But I have no probability/ stats modules

[mellow venture]

Strange

[tranquil summit]

We don't have space for it

Next year idk if I'd be allowed to take an intro course

[mellow venture]

Go to your professors and question the “vigor” of the class

😏

[tranquil summit]

Which one 😂

[mellow venture]

All of them

[tranquil summit]

Wow

[mellow venture]

Bring all of them in a room

Jus start interrogating them

[tranquil summit]

Our Phys lecturers are too nice I can't do that

[mellow venture]

Aww

So u can do the maths ones instead

[tranquil summit]

True

[twilit mulch]

Interogate them.

Show no mercy.

hey anyone knows if i can take fashion designing course without an A level diploma?

[thorn garden]

hmm i believe the requirement is also high in terms of our results?

[thorn garden]

is math,physics,computer science the must subject to take the course? im little confused cuz now i need to select my classes

[swift prairie]

Heyy!!

Does anyone know if AS A Level is better or IB for choosing a course in Business or Business in Technology

[fleet vine]

Not really, the requirements usually range from A-B in the three A levels you pursue

[fleet vine]

Generally for most engineering courses, you do need chemistry as well. However, with these subject choices, you can go for Computer Engineering (though some universities may require chemistry as well for this one), or even software engineering.

[fleet vine]

Tbh, A level would suit better, as you have the freedom to pick just the commerce subjects, whereas in IB, you can only take one commerce subject, and 5 other unnecessary ones in your case (2 subjects from sciences, 1 math subject, 1 English and 1 second language). Though IB is universally recognized, its not really suited for Commerce students. IB better suits science students.

[swift prairie]

Ohhh!!

Thank youu so much !!

also, i thought i can only take 4 subjects in A level

my original option was - ECO HL or business management HL , IT HL and Eng lang and lit HL + Phy SL, Math AA SL and eco or business management SL

i want to keep my options open in just more than commerce

is that possible ??

[proven mulch]

Is it worth it doing MBBS from china ?

[cedar hollow]

You get the same degree

It's the Australian uni's branch

Hii guys i have a question i want to study engineering in uk so i took A Level Maths ,Physics and Biology . Maths results will be released this Monday wish me luck anyway I don’t know what type of engineering to specialise in . Is this a problem ? should i know i think it’s a-bit early to decide

[indigo pewter]

I think you will be in a better position to decide regarding specialisation once you are in the course and u can also explore further during uni with the help of professors/lecturers etc.

[devout mirage]

Engineering course in Cambridge the first two years are general engineering fundamentals then you specialise so I thought I could choose then

When I’m exposed to subjects and meet actual professors who have specialised in different fields

I just don’t like not knowing exactly what i want if h knw wht i mean

[ornate skiff]

I am assuming you are getting your AS results? If you are planning to apply to Cambridge for 2022 entry, you are too late as the deadline was back in 15th October 2021. If you are applying for 2022 entry, the UCAS deadline is very soon. Either that or you are taking a gap year?

[devout mirage]

Naah im in year 11

Im applying for 2023

But ik that I won’t finish all my subjects until June 2023 how will i apply then😅

[cedar hollow]

i need some assistance , im gonna apply for harvard the end of this year but i dont have any honors/awards , how do i get some , my school doesnt have clubs and stuff like that

[ornate skiff]

I'm a bit confused sorry haha

Maybe someone can assist you with this question?

[spark fjord]

do UK unis give scholarships?

bc i didn't find many ppl who got scholarships

[faint pulsar]

Search online

[cedar hollow]

thnx man i couldnt think to do that myself

[faint pulsar]

Ok I could suggest one competition

Check breakthrough junior challenge

And the waterloo math competitions

Euclid

[cedar hollow]

thanks i will check them out

[tranquil summit]

For international students not really, most places have a £2/3k if you get 3 A* or something on those lines which is automatic but other than that you're gonna have to look for specific region based scholarships

[spark fjord]

okay thanks

[ionic quarry]

hello

I was just wondering

are unconditional offers hard to get?

[tranquil summit]

As an international defo

[ionic quarry]

dang

cuz I got a conditonal offer just now from a not so good uni so I was wondering whether or not Im really that bad that I couldnt get an unconditional offer from a lower tier uni XD

[tranquil summit]

Nah they generally don't give them out to intls, don't overthink it

[fair acorn]

does caltech offer good cs subjects

[faint pulsar]

It should be fine if you know mandarin

[gaunt helm]

i can't afford to go to the uk for medicine cause they have an exorbitant fee. where do you guys suggest i apply for undergrad medicine (MBBS)? my home country is not an option

[elfin junco]

Manipal University has a really good campus in Malaysia

[gaunt helm]

thanks!

do you know someone there? or is there any uni you recommend? thank youu

[gaunt helm]

ohh thank you so much! i will definitely research

thanks : )

[lunar galleon]

lithuania could be interesting...i have a friend that goes there but im not too sure bout the price

look for unis in germany too tho. i heard that public ones are tution-free

[cedar hollow]

Need to know B1 level German

[gaunt helm]

oh okay thanks ill check it out!

[dense walrus]

yea for 99% of unis, there are a few English taught degree programs though

[lunar galleon]

well true but u can learn that and it should be cheaper than uk unis

[cedar hollow]

Yea

[dense walrus]

Actually I’m pretty sure that not all unis require B1, C1 is the preferred but unis that offer B1 also offer intensive language courses. I might be wrong on this
