Pre-law international student

[versed ice]

Bro idfk why the formatting is all shitty

[gleaming brook]

So one thing to remember is that law is an undergraduate course of study in the UK. It is also good to remember that moving a law education around can be hard

[lament furnace]

bro howd u take 12 a levels and 23 igcses wtf

did u actually sit the exams or mocks at home?

[lost pike]

Penn

NYU

NYU probably won’t give you aid

USC probably won’t give you aid

Emory is good too but idk their aid

Same with georgetown

[shrewd ingot]

12 A Levels? Are you joking?

And who the hell takes 23 subjects for the IGCSEs?

[lament furnace]

ikr

[versed ice]

Actually sit exams ofc

[versed ice]

no, like fr

took them over 3 sessions

just because.. i wanted to

private exams and some, whcih have coursework, i took with a tutor

[versed ice]

me lmao

i did it to see what i liked, what i enjoyed, and what i would want to pursue

i had a lot of free time, as you can tell.

[versed ice]

How so?

[versed ice]

Alright. ive heard georgetown is good for law school tho idk

[versed ice]

also, i took quite a few lang subjects so

[versed ice]

idk why but i don't really like upenn

something is off about it in my opinion

[shrewd ingot]

Are all of your exams, including SAT and ACT accredited though? Don't want to sound rude but a majority of applicants apply with 5-6 A Levels maximum so your profile is definitely going to make schools raise eyebrows

[versed ice]

yes, definitely

applied for all my exams through the british council

got my results through the british council

[shrewd ingot]

Ok that's fair

[versed ice]

for alelvels and igcse of course

mhm

ive gotten that a lot though, so, its fine T-T

so, do you have any suggestions? sorry for sounding very curt

[versed ice]

definitely going to make schools raise eyebrows
in a good way?

[shrewd ingot]

Well idk, considering you took double the number of subjects a usual person applies with, they might ask questions, but not in a bad way I suppose

[lament furnace]

if youre actually serious about taking all those subjects, give ur self a pat on the back cos wow

and you def made the british council rich cos exams aint cheap

but with those grades and number of subjects, you can probably get in almost anywhere in the UK

[lament furnace]

what a levels did u take out of curiousity

[versed ice]

ah alright

[versed ice]

ty lmao

[versed ice]

frfr

[versed ice]

really?

law
english lit
world lit
english lang
history
business
classical studies
french lang and lit
sociology
econ
accounting
information tech

very academia

[lament furnace]

probably yes, because theyre more grades-focused. You should apply soon though cos apparently some are rolling

[lament furnace]

yahh lots og humanities

just wow

i still cant tell if ur serious but damn

[versed ice]

lmaoo a lot of people are like that

[versed ice]

yeah i have a ✨ passion ✨

[lament furnace]

all the ivy leagues will give you aid if accepted, theyre famous for it, so take a look

Yale has good food and I heard they have halal options, nice libraries with good resources. Not in a city

Upenn has the best business school in the states, wharton, so take a look at that. Its located in a city and has a nice campus

I think you should aim for the ivy league and oxbridge with your grades tbh. Especially ivy as they give full aid especially if you are low income

[versed ice]

oh? thats good

[versed ice]

slay, i will need halal options, and good libraries is a great plus

[versed ice]

i honestly, as said before, dont like upenn. a college i will not be applying to, for no said reason lmao dfkjsd but ill think about it frfr /gen

[versed ice]

im definitely low income so thats good

[versed ice]

really? bro, thats great. tysm for the recommendations, i really appreciate it

im so happy i have a chance at the ivies

[lament furnace]

yes you do but make sure you write good essays. US is very essay-dependant so even if u have good grades, ur chances are very low if u have bad essays

[lament furnace]

npp

[versed ice]

pog, got that. thank you.

[lament furnace]

also ucla has REALLY good dining hall as well, with halal options. theyre very stingy with aid for international students so its not a great option then

[versed ice]

honestly in terms of income im pretty open since i have a sponsor and other scholarships coming in so ill definitely consider it

and really good dining halls is great

[lament furnace]

and very gorgeous campus and libraries

[lament furnace]

yeah

[versed ice]

||if i didnt have an ed lmao||

[versed ice]

oh? ive always thought oxford had the best campus, but this seems really good

[lament furnace]

STOP

[versed ice]

most of the demographic in ucla is asian though, and gives of very undergrad vibe- am i right?

[versed ice]

WHAT

[lament furnace]

inshallah youll be better in one year

[versed ice]

inshallah

[lament furnace]

i think so

[versed ice]

yeh, its very chill from what i can tell

studyquill goes to college there lmao

[lament furnace]

i also saw some vids on tiktok of nyu hosting suhoors in ramadan that looked very fun, so u can check them out. idk about aid though.

[versed ice]

omg slay

[lament furnace]

[versed ice]

iftar will be so sad without family though

[versed ice]

[versed ice]

[versed ice]

[versed ice]

you're def right

[versed ice]

Getting into the Ivy Leagues as an international student is like trying to run a marathon while wearing a backpack filled with bricks. It’s hard enough to run 26 miles but doing it while weighted down must seem impossible.
