Dafuq😩

vague wagon
#

can i get into uni w just 2 a levels subjects

#

i wanna do bachelors in computer science soo is it cool if i just have math and physics or do i need ICT w it

round jacinth
#

depends where

#

and what unis you want to get into

vague wagon
#

my grades rnt good like

#

like C's and D's

vague wagon
round jacinth
#

Idk probably depends which ones ig

vague wagon
#

i see

round jacinth
#

USA i don't think it really does have formal requirements

#

but you're obvs gonna need good grades to get into good unis

#

especially for cs

vague wagon
#

im in AS rn

#

my math went well but ik failed physics and IT

round jacinth
#

sitting may/june?

vague wagon
#

yeah

round jacinth
#

ah

#

hmm idk

vague wagon
#

so ill probably resit phy and IT in oct/nov

#

ive heard aslong as u pass and have like C's ur good

round jacinth
#

Idk depends where

vague wagon
#

and u have money in ur pocket

#

my friend

#

is doing AS rn

#

his subjects are chem bio IT and math

#

he failed IT and probably math

#

he says hes gonna go for foundation w his IG degree in poland

round jacinth
#

i see

vague wagon
#

hes not going for A levels

#

is that a good idea

#

?

round jacinth
#

Idk

vague wagon
#

and the uni might give him admission

#

if unis can let a moron like him in

#

im pretty sure ive got a decent chance

#

idk

#

i might be wrong

tranquil summit
#

Poland and the US are very different

#

@vague wagon isn't foundation outside of the UK like a year or 6months

#

I think a foundation is rly rly skimmed out - my education counsellor recommended it if I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do

#

Therefore just having a narrower syllabus

#

And therefore needing less time to study it

#

Thus finsihing earlier

vague wagon
#

i see

#

yeah my friend doesnt really know what he wants to do

#

hes just going for bcs cause his brothers going for it

vague wagon
#

and a couple friends are moving there so hes just in it w them

#

he chose bio chem in AS planning on doing medical

#

but now hes going for computer science

candid torrent
vague wagon
candid torrent
candid torrent
vague wagon
#

but how can a uni let him in

candid torrent
#

He's got a fair chance if he gets like As and Bs

vague wagon
#

why would a uni care about chem and bio if hes going for bcs

#

dont unis require math phy and IT for that course

#

and hes going in w his IG degree

candid torrent
# vague wagon but how can a uni let him in

Nah m8 not all unis need top top grades..
At the end of the day fewer people get top grades - the majority fall to B's and below. That's a lot of people, therefore a larger market for unis to tap into

It's all business and even if someone doesn't have the right combo, they'd prolly find a way thru

#

@vague wagon some unis want you to do 2 sciences and math
I've seen guys pursue CS w/out even studying it

tranquil summit
#

IT isn't a requirement for CS

candid torrent
#

@tranquil summit even CS isn't a requirement🤣

tranquil summit
#

Neither is CS since not all schools offer it

#

Maths is the only real requirement

candid torrent
#

@tranquil summit yeah it's mainly math and physics

vague wagon
#

im quite good in math

hearty robin
vague wagon
#

i was thinking i drop either IT or phys in my a levels nd just focus on 2 subjects since it'll be easier to score good grades

hearty robin
#

Maths is the only requirement for computer science

vague wagon
#

but ion think unis let u in w 2 a levels

tranquil summit
hearty robin
vague wagon
#

my dad is totally against foundation

#

he thinks that ppl who go for it a retarted cuz they couldnt do a levels

tranquil summit
#

A lot of people in foundation have done a levels

#

It's quite useful I've heard

vague wagon
#

why do foundation if u have an A level degree

hearty robin
vague wagon
#

cuz its hard man

#

i suffer w phy and IT

hearty robin
vague wagon
#

i wanted to keep foundation as a third option incase i fail some of my alevels

#

instead of resiting them i could just get in thru foundation

#

but my dad doesnt like that plan

hearty robin
#

@vague wagon probably thinks foundation is like not as academic and is seen as a waste of time or something however I disagree tbh

vague wagon
#

yeah u right

#

also i hate the fact that math comes with stats or mech

#

like tf

#

anyways ty for the advices guys

twin sequoia
#

yw

vague wagon
#

idk i might keep IT and phy and resit them in oct/nov

candid torrent
#

@vague wagon When are your exams m8?

vague wagon
#

they're going on rn

#

stats is on 25th

#

and then physics mcqs on june 8

#

just these 2 exams left

@vague wagon as in 51,52 or 53?

Guys any cheap and affordable uni in the UK for CS

the good ones atleast are

Any1 here studies in Prague?

candid torrent
deft bolt
#

id not mind studying in the uk

#

but canada seems like a more attractive offer to me bcuz of their co-op system

livid kiln
#

whats the co-op system

round jacinth
#

Basically you get internship while at uni

#

For how many terms

#

Or how long

#

Depends which uni

livid kiln
#

oh

#

sounds fun

upper shore
#

I want to go to the UK on a high scholarship if possible for bachelor in computer science
I was thinking of giving IELTS after my AS English Language paper (obviously id have improved English writing by that time as a result of this)
does anyone know if this would increase scholarship or atleast prioritize an admission or so extra curriculars and stuff matter.more

#

also is AICE worth it?

round jacinth
#

Afaik difficult to get scholarships from uni in UK

tranquil summit
#

IELTS would not help you get a scholarship

faint pulsar
turbid zealot

#

im not sure some might have similar programs the canadian system of coop is more integrated and popular there

turbid zealot

Give experience

deft bolt
#

unfortunately tho canadas deadlines are out of phase with ppl taking a levels

turbid zealot
#

Like predicted grades for a 2

deft bolt
#

yes thats the only way

turbid zealot
#

Cause thats what many ppl do to prevent gap year

turbid zealot
#

Or you doing composite

turbid zealot
deft bolt

you can submit AS results + predicted A2 for early addmission

you're applying to waterloo?

some guys here go to some of those

#

or they will be attending

in september

tranquil summit
round jacinth
#

it's 4 years right?

tranquil summit
#

I'm not sure but you earn more than you pay for sure

#

I didn't have the option to on my degree so I didn't look it up too much

round jacinth
#

ah alright

tranquil summit
#

It isn't as much tho, it's capped at some percentage

#

20% of the tuition

deft bolt
round jacinth
#

yeah but reason i'm asking

#

is

tranquil summit
#

But placements are hard to get

round jacinth
#

if they don't help you with it

#

what are you paying the uni for

#

cause you won't be attending right?

tranquil summit
#

Dunno man😂

#

You'll still have access to student services

round jacinth
#

hmmm

tranquil summit
#

You can also just take a gap year and work if you want, that way you don't pay

#

But you also lose access to student services

round jacinth
#

I see

tranquil summit
#

Ik a guy who took a gap year because of covid and landed a nice placement at CERN

round jacinth
#

woow nice

tranquil summit
#

Every other physics person has been to CERN here 😭

#

And all the academics have a CERN email as well

#

Well a huge chunk of them anyway

round jacinth
#

idk much about career prospects for physics grads tbh

#

but it's the largest in europe right?

tranquil summit
#

Very versatile degree

round jacinth
#

Yeah

tranquil summit
round jacinth
#

just like math

tranquil summit
#

Not sure what you mean by that

#

Maths and physics are so different 😭 😭

round jacinth
#

it is a research facility right

#

ik

#

i;m saying

tranquil summit
round jacinth
#

in terms of versatility

#

not

tranquil summit
#

Ahh fair

round jacinth
#

what the degree actually is

tranquil summit
#

I'm biased but I think physics is better

#

Maths usually ends in either finance or academia

#

Or data science

round jacinth
#

or one of the biggest

tranquil summit
#

Dunno never looked it up

deft bolt
tranquil summit
#

But I'd say yes

round jacinth
#

fair

deft bolt
#

data science is the worse

round jacinth

Data science is painful

deft bolt
#

i hate it with a passion

round jacinth
#

what

#

couldn't math end up in computing as well?

#

like

#

most of those genius computer scienctists

#

don't wanna say most

#

but many

#

have a math background

deft bolt
#

yea but probably ull have to combine it with cs

#

CS courses contain math

#

math doesnt contain cs lessons

round jacinth
#

Depends where ig

#

some courses are more flexible that oothers

#

so you can

#

take cs classes

deft bolt
#

i need to look into these employment placement thing that uk unis have

#

never heard of it b4 now tbh

round jacinth
#

they have this 1 year in industry thing

#

idk much about it

#

but from what mushu said

#

seems kinda like a scam😂

deft bolt
#

you pay like 5k pounds for a job

#

society is down

#

horrendous

round jacinth
#

that you might not even get

deft bolt
#

nah man wth😭

tranquil summit
#

Well if you don't get a placement you just go on with the degree like normal

#

And you don't pay for it

As an Egyptian IGCSE/A level student, I want a uni (preferably in UK/USA) that's good with computer science that I can get financial aid for/provides free education.

round jacinth
#

masr um al dunya

#

UK doesn't really provide financial aid

#

although some unis have scholarships

#

like warwick for example

#

only 1 that ik of

#

but it's generally cheaper than US

#

in the US there are some which are need blind for international students

#

ones that I know of rn are

#

MIT and Harvard

#

there are also much more

#

do your own research for that

cedar hollow
round jacinth
#

Nope

#

doesn't matter if hard or not

#

you lose nothing by trying

cedar hollow
#

true

round jacinth
#

so you can try

cedar hollow
#

I will

round jacinth
#

worst goes to worst you just get rejected

#

which isn't much diff than where you are rn

cedar hollow
round jacinth
#

Ik

#

but they do give financial aid

#

and requesting financial aid

hearty robin
round jacinth
#

will not affect your chances of entry

#

that's what they say

cedar hollow
#

Feels good to be Egyptian

hearty robin
# cedar hollow lol there are 2 scholarships for my country and major in oxford

You do realize you need like 11A* in IGCSE to get into oxford for computer science and also need 3A* predicted for you at A-levels and also should be taking further maths A-level if your school offers it since they clearly state on there website they prefer for students if school offer it to take further maths A-levels

cedar hollow
#

I think I can at least be accepted in Oxford, not that confident with either of the scholarship tho, that's why I want alternative

hearty robin
hearty robin
#

Pay everything

#

Your living costs

cedar hollow
#

Yes both do

hearty robin
#

Your tuition fees

hearty robin
cedar hollow
#

What

hearty robin
# cedar hollow What

The computer science course is 3 years would this course in oxford cover the 3 yr tuition fees plus living costs

cedar hollow
#

Yes

#

Bro I just wanted another option lol

round jacinth
#

for what cs?

#

in UK

#

warwick has scholarship for intls

#

idt it's full ride though

#

US look which ones are need blind

#

and

#

you obvs gotta apply MIT

#

especially if it's need blind

#

for everyone

#

Yale I think is also need blind

hearty robin
#

This is oxford admission rating for computer science for 2020

#

Mans dedicated to let me give up

hearty robin

hearty robin
#

I don’t want you to give up

round jacinth
#

a realistic approach is also the fact that if he works hard

cedar hollow

exactly

round jacinth
#

there's a very good chance that he might be 1 of those 15

hearty robin
round jacinth
#

NO

cedar hollow
#

Lol

round jacinth
#

KCL very expensive

#

and their course is no different than like southampton or something

#

which is still good

#

but is cheaper

cedar hollow
#

I'll look at Glasgow too they provide scholarships with £10k

round jacinth
#

and lower entry requirements

#
  • KCL is in London
#

which isn't the place to live if you're tight on money

cedar hollow
round jacinth
#

which ig is normal for many students

hearty robin
#

What about Durham

round jacinth
#

Durham is good

hearty robin
#

And it’s a social science scholarship

#

Wait that’s means I am eligible

#

Then

#

Since I am from Italy and have Italian nationality or am I not cause my fee status is home lemme check

round jacinth
#

mamma mia

#

🤌🤌🤌🤌

#

Italy is a really nice country

#

My fav

#

after my country ofc

#

best country i've been to

hearty robin
#

Omg

#

Am I eligible though

round jacinth
#

my country

hearty robin
#

@tranquil summit if you have an Italian passport and your nationality is Italian and your an EU citizen does that mean your from Italy and would I be eligible for this scholarship or would the fact I have home fee status in England mean I am not eligible for it .... and it’s only if you have EU fee status

#

Would you know by any chance

round jacinth
#

they changed their laws no?

#

cause of brexit

hearty robin
round jacinth
#

so no idea if being EU citizen gives you home fees

hearty robin
#

Would I be eligible for the scholarship says as long as you are from

tranquil summit
round jacinth
#

ooooh

#

I see

hearty robin
tranquil summit
round jacinth
#

Ic ic

tranquil summit
tranquil summit
hearty robin
tranquil summit
#

but would recommend emailing them tho

#

because 10k makes sense for an intl

#

for home fee students, who only pay 9k it does not

hearty robin
hearty robin
hearty robin
round jacinth
#

for UK doing more cs related stuff probably helps more

#

than playing football

#

for your personal statement

tranquil summit
hearty robin
tranquil summit
round jacinth
#

yeah

hearty robin
#

or maybe do some internship in a technology company

round jacinth
#

he could

#

but an internship could also be useless

#

depends what type of work you do

tranquil summit
#

not really, interpersonal skills are v good to have

round jacinth
#

true

#

but there's many easier ways to do that

#

without an internship

tranquil summit
#

well yes but it's not a bad idea

round jacinth
#

Ofc

#

but me personally

#

I'd rather develop interpersonal skills while also improving my programming skills

hearty robin
#

do you think the reason the University of glasgow is offering that many scholarships is cause they want to attract more students to join there university since glasgow isn't a reputable university compared to some others

round jacinth
#

maybe depends which course ig

#

it's a possibility

hearty robin
# round jacinth maybe depends which course ig

yeah but that what I feel sometimes lower ranking universities offer international students a lower fee cause they want more students coming to there university to fill in the spaces for they courses and offer a lot of scholarships and bursaries cause of that reason as well

round jacinth
#

Hmm

hearty robin
# round jacinth Hmm

the thing is even though I was asking about the scholarship thing in glagow I have no intentions of going to University

round jacinth
#

But I mean

hearty robin
#

I was just interested in it

round jacinth
#

I'm still p sure Glasgow gets more applicants than it has seats

#

maybe not all courses

#

but for many if not most

#

that could be

#

there are endless reasons tbh

#

anything I say is speculation

#

can't really know their intent

hearty robin
#

why do people wanna study in scottish Universities is it cause they generally charge a lower fee for intel students than English Universities

hearty robin
hearty robin
#

so was thinking of doing an apprenticeship

round jacinth
#

nicer than many places in england

round jacinth
hearty robin
hearty robin
round jacinth
#

ah ok

#

googled it

#

I see

#

nice

#

Gl

#

hope you do well in that

hearty robin
#

nah I need to do more research

#

and alot of them

round jacinth
#

research about what

#

the job or

hearty robin
#

so need to find one closer to my house

round jacinth
#

hmmm

#

Wouldn't being in London help you though

#

career-wise

hearty robin
#

most likely I will go to one located in London as its near where I live and I live just outside of london

round jacinth
#

I se

#

e

hearty robin
hearty robin
# round jacinth career-wise

it would that's why I am considering London not only cause of the close proximity also cause of the good pay and recognition that comes with it

#

also another thing to note

#

I need to make my CV and cover letter competitive tbh

round jacinth
#

do you need to do that

#

like rn

#

in school i mean

#

before your course

hearty robin
#

so basicallly

#

I need a cover letter and CV

hearty robin
# round jacinth before your course

its not a course really its more like a 6 yr work placement where at the end you get A master degree's and bachelors degree and you get paid while working and don't have to ay any fees

#

so its a bonus for me

round jacinth
hearty robin
#

after I finish my AS exams

round jacinth
#

so then who offers such programmes, law firms?

hearty robin
#

and since only like some law firms offer its extremely competitive

round jacinth
#

understandable

hearty robin
tranquil summit
#

Oh wait that might be the difference between solicitors and barristers, idk my law shit

#

Although I'll live with a lawyer next year

hearty robin
hearty robin
tranquil summit
#

Fair enough

upper shore
#

I'm trying to find it but hard time understanding the intenrent

upper shore
hearty robin
#

the interviews and exams are the real challenge tbh

hearty robin
#

and also have a good personal statement

#

and school reference ready

upper shore
#

Yeah but in currently in PK

#

w/o scholarship im... hecked

upper shore
#

Now alot of uni's i see for comp make maths a compulsory requirement

#

and furthur maths a recommended one

#

I'm not great at maths (can manage it if I practice alot) so is it worth taking this subject (furthur maths) to bump up my application or should I devote my resources elsewhere like extra curriculars?

#

Also how related should one's extra curriculars be against their degree (in my case Bachelors in Computer Science)? I love graphic designing and the likes so would it count? Is there a way I could integrate it into graphic design?

#

Maybe like using code to create some patters or designs that are used in posts and stuff?

twin sequoia
#

you need maths for comp science

round jacinth
#

and further math helps

#

alot

#

and for me

#

My personal statement was mostly cs related stuff

#

and p much every other personal statement i've read

#

there was just 3 lines or something where I talked about some ecs

#

that i do for fun

#

and aren't related to cs

upper shore
#

seems oxford doesn't consider ecas and stuff as an admission cirteira IdeaBlob

upper shore
upper shore
round jacinth
#

wdym by you're not eccentric about it?

upper shore
#

its a subject that if I have to learn, I'll be able to do and score very well in

#

But it's not like I like coding in my free time and testing out new programs and the works

round jacinth
#

hmmm

twin sequoia
#

then dont do it...?

round jacinth
#

I mean

upper shore
round jacinth
#

As long as you enjoy coding

#

then shouldn't be a problem

#

even if it isn't

#

what you prefer to do most

#

cause coding isn't my fav thing to do either

#

But I do enjoy it

#

and i'm interested in it

#

so i like it

#

so i'm doing it

#

doing cs

upper shore
#

Well i'll keep that in mind
thank you.

#

also

#

Any idea if Global Prespectives and Research is a good subject to take?

round jacinth
#

idek what that is

upper shore
#

I mean Uni's often talk about how they like people to approach to diff situations and understanding and stuff

round jacinth
#

if you want to do cs

upper shore
round jacinth
#

the gotta have math

#

and if your school has it would be good idea if you have further math

upper shore
#

I was thinking for A levels
CS, Maths, Physics, Furhur Math/Global Prespective

#

this reminds me, is physics an important subject to keep? here in pk u can't pursue cs without it and my counsellor said physcis is needed for bachelors in cs abroad too although I haven't seen that

twin sequoia
#

wtf 4 A levels

#

5head

round jacinth
#

bruh why so many subjects

#

5

twin sequoia
#

wats pk

round jacinth
#

pakistan probbaly

#

probably

twin sequoia
#

ive never heard of a requirement of physics for cs

round jacinth
#

me neither

#

but idk how is it in pakistan

#

assuming that's what pk is

upper shore
upper shore
#

but in all cases physics is needed

upper shore
#

4
its also what our school recommends

#

the question is if its going to be furthur maths or global prespective

twin sequoia
#

AS or A2?

upper shore
#

m going to be starting as

#

in coming sept

twin sequoia
#

oh nvm

#

thats normal then

round jacinth
#

if you can do it

#

further math

#

no question about it

upper shore
#

I probs can if i work hard on it

round jacinth
#

if you wanna do cs

upper shore
#

are there topicals papst papers for it?

round jacinth
#

probably

upper shore
#

aight I'll go for that

#

its annoying af since I don't want physics

hearty robin
#

@upper shore taking global perspective is a waste of time if you are already doing 4 A-levels

#

and also

#

if you are applying to a UK uni

#

none of them accept global perspective as a qualification

#

including oxford

#

so you would be wasting ur time on a useless A-level

muted jackal
#

Is global perspective important for IGCSE?

round jacinth

wtf is global perspective now

Is Glasgow a good uni? I wonder if there are discords more specifically tagreted for such stuff

#

Oxford uni is out of the question 💀

#

Uni of Cambridge doesn't seem so kind in scholarships

round jacinth
upper shore
# round jacinth why

Its requirements are manageable if I end my social life and become a studying pshycopath

#

Oxford is hard no doubt bout it

#

Also extremely competitive, I don't think people apply unless they have a shot at that bad boi

round jacinth
#

nah

#

i'm p sure there is

#

I applied to stanford and mit just for the lolz

#

knew i didn't have a chance

#

still applied

#

there's deffo many people like me

upper shore
#

Possible
I am only seeing UK as a prospect though...m not interested in other foreign countries

upper shore
round jacinth
#

top uni

upper shore
#

I hate how life is step by step, good education means good uni, which means good job, which means good salary

round jacinth
#

i mean

upper shore
round jacinth
#

good uni doesn't necessarily mean good job

#

especially for cs

upper shore
#

Yeah alot of experience and stuff matters

#

but explain that to my parents why don't ya

round jacinth
#

i understand

upper shore
#

Not much one can do I suppose, just try

you don't lose much by trying

upper shore

Mom always says nothing is set in stone so do your best
But its hard

upper shore
round jacinth
#

lol

upper shore
#

Uhm

#

lets supppose

#

if just a maybe

#

a person gets a distinction in IGCSE or A level (unlikely) of a subject they intend to pursue as a degree .ex comp sci, how likely is a scholarship going to increase

round jacinth
#

idk

tranquil summit
#

Also scholarships vary widely based on your background, socioeconomic and geographical

#

So you'd be eligible for certain regional scholarships

#

Or in my case I wasn't because I was Indian but hadn't lived there for the past 5 years so I couldn't get the Indian ones

cedar hollow
#

So yeah I pretty much have good chances tbh, I hope so.
In my personal statement I'll mention the projects I made and the internships I worked on
And when it comes to a*aa for a levels, I can really just start studying now, even tho my exams are well—more than a year from now

upper shore
#

guys do u think teaching others counts as a very good extracurricular for the subject ur interested in

upper shore
#

btw which as/a level maths paper do comp sci. students give?

tranquil summit
#

I think they mean between stats and mech

upper shore
# round jacinth Wdym?

A Level mathematics has a few paper types
like p1, p2, probablity and statistics and so on

Guys I have a question regarding retakes,
Assume I get AAAD in May June
If I give retake of the D grade subject, in my final transcript will it jus tappear AAAA or A (of the subject I got D in ONLY)
Like will my final certificate show all my previous exams and the grades in them or just of that

If I apply to a certain uni, I do not want them to know I got a D in that subject in IGCSE.
So anything like this? please explain

figured I'd post here since people are probs done with their A levels or GCSEs so mght know better

university of texas at austin

there are a lot of universities out there, you should do your own research as well

velvet plover
#

Thank You

somber nacelle
# velvet plover Thank You

once again tho doing your own research is way better, take a look at the location of the university, the professors, graduation rate, how easy will it be for you to graduate, internships that they may offer or companies that they work with so it’s easier for you to find a job

#

as an example i know that university of boston works with google to create opportunities for their graduating students to get jobs

Yes, Lets see how this goes. They usually look for someone very influential. Candidates like Malala/Ahmed Nawaz are the ideal candidates for such universities. They have perfect grades, they have the perfect influential personality that the world looks up to. Literally every other candidate would have A*’s and A’s but why should they choose you over them. That’s what you have to convey.

indeed

i'm going to be giving like coding classes in my school for the next 3 years

one of my friends is graduating from school this year he did that too

my school is pretty helpful with that

Is there anything else you're doing?

and maybe i'll attend international math olympiad

# tranquil summit Is there anything else you're doing?

is there anything else you suggest me to do? well i can mention in my personal statement im currently developing in a non profit cross platform app, used linux for a while which gave me experience in langagues like lua and haskell

tranquil summit
#

You're gonna also have to talk about why you want to be at Oxford and not other places+ what you'd gain from that experience

#

Not just "I'm a really good developer"

cedar hollow
#

lol

#

yes

tranquil summit
#

And unfortunately also ace A levels and the entrance exams + 2 rounds of interviews

cedar hollow
#

true

#

thats why i want to have backup choices

#

so do you have any suggestions? pepehmmm

tranquil summit
#

What's your criteria?

#

Do you wanna be in a city?

cedar hollow
#

Yea that would be good

tranquil summit
#

Also the UK and funding is shit unless you're being externally funded

cedar hollow
#

ik lmao

#

there are 2 scholarship i can apply for, one called “reach oxford” and the other one is for a specific college which i'll be choosing

tranquil summit
#

So if you're looking for places with full funding that narrows it down a lot and you're gonna have to do the research tbh

#

I wasn't eligible for them and did not go down that path

cedar hollow
tranquil summit
#

If you're sure about your grades just work down the rankings lists?

tranquil summit
cedar hollow
#

Yeah

tranquil summit
#

Also for the US you'll need extra curriculars

cedar hollow

Or check the application questions for one or two US unis and you'll have a better idea

I'm a student in India looking to pursue my undergrad in a CS major in the US/Canada.
I'm on the right track - doing well on my SAT and IELTS, did badly on a subject in HS but working on rewriting to get that back on track, good extracurriculars (working at my dad's software solutions business, volunteering at a local temple) - but I wanted to see if anyone here had some advice for me - both general and situation-oriented advice could go a long way.

Right now I'm having trouble picking a college to study at, and I'm just not sure if I'll get accepted into the ones I've had my eye on (CMU, UI-UC). I can give more detail about my situation if required but I currently don't have enough information or experience with this to be confident about my trajectory, which is why I'm seeking advice.

Not sure if this is the right channel but it seemed relevant.

round jacinth
#

I'd say continue getting good grades and improve your extracurriculars

#

and dw whether you get into CMU, UIUC or any uni

#

just apply when it's time to apply and see what happens then

#

just if you're doing cs focus more on improving your skills rather than doing extracurriculars that you have no interest in and you're just doing it to make your app better

#

it's much more sustainable that way

#

and will help you both in your uni app and long term

#

and for extracurriculars i'd also advise you to get your own project going as well that will go a long way for sure

if ur fine with answering that question and also if possible can u suggest unis that i can contact now

Im not going to do med so i dont know any unis and you need complete A levels to apply for any uni in germany btw. universities have abysmal communication so you need to rely on whats been provided on the uni website, DAAD and Anabin.

Not to demotivate you, but med is extremely competitive, you need fluency and A*s.

Fees, cost of living, location and how hard it is to travel to (connectivity by train/ plane/ car etc), travel time, is it in a city or a smaller place (and what you prefer), general city/ uni vibes, societies available (some may be more sporty than others), any specialties in the department (you can look at the optional modules available), do you have any family nearby (if that's important to you in terms of emergencies etc), course structure (you can give it a slightly arbitrary rating to sort it), grade reqs
