i’m taking maths, chemi, physics in alvls rn and im planning to study engineering related courses overseas once i’m done. And I come from a not so wealthy family so for me to go overseas i NEED a full ride scholarship. So i was wondering is 3 subjects are enough for that or should i do more

you most likely would go to the us, it is quite hard to get in as someone who needs a full ride
taking more subjects will not be the reason why you would get accepted

#

and taking more than 3 subjects wouldnt be the reason you would get in

#

full rides are also incredibly hard to get so make sure u have safeties in ur country

i think Hong Kong is a pretty good option if u want to get a scholarship with allowance money with just a levels

#

getting 3 As or 3As and 1A or 4A*s can easily get u a full-ride scholarship in HK with allowance money

#

if u want a full ride scholarship i personally dont think that the US is a good choice as it's already pretty difficult to get into top universities with only A levels in the US since they prioritize US community college and high school students as well as extracurriculars and volunteering which i doubt u'll be able to do much of in ur home country

#

from my experience anyway

#

im taking the 2+2 transfer program in the US

#

usually ppl do try to take 4 subjects though

#

prioritize US community college and high school students
false

#

only public schools do that

#

and you probably will not get any money from a public school

but not everyone wants to go to hong kong lol

#

in fact i think most people would rather go to the us than hong kong

indigo falcon
#

copper hatch
#

indigo falcon
#

i myself am going to the us
just telling them that hong kong is a choice yk

copper hatch
#

i dont really have experience with hong kong

indigo falcon
#

yeahhh

copper hatch
#

so thats the only thing i can really comment on

indigo falcon
#

my bad if smtg i said was wrong, just general things i heard ab universities there and a levels from a lot of people

#

i do have to say rhat im pretty sure that most merit based scholarships are based on GPA, SAT and / or ACT scores there

#

and grant rates are rly low
