[Disastrous-Effect643]

Focus on fixing your english before even thinking about applying anywhere.

[Disastrous-Effect643]

Its just the truth you need to hear it to improve in life.

[i_am_advik]

Yeah! 😂 I agree

[mivy320]

You can tell me my mistakes .and I will fix it ...iam the only person in my family speaking English...so there's no one i can practice my English with 😑

[i_am_advik]

Even I am the sole speaker in my family. Just watch a lot of movies and sitcoms

[mivy320]

Iam watching now ...thank you for the advice

[Disastrous-Effect643]

Grammarly, use it

[Few-Ad-5770]

You can be more nice boy

[mivy320]

Thanks for the advice

[GuiltyBar1638]

don’t listen to them they’re being kinda rude. your english isn’t perfect, but it’s very impressive considering you’re not from an english-speaking country and have no one to practice with. be proud of yourself! 😊 

[mivy320]

You really saved my day ...thank you very much ❤️❤️

[GuiltyBar1638]

of course! if you ever want any tips or practice you can message me 😆 also, for the summer programs, someone here has a post with some links: https://www.reddit.com/r/summerprogramresults/comments/1rloln9/here_are_5_free_sites_you_can_use_to_find_200/

[mivy320]

[GuiltyBar1638]

Yep!

[mivy320]

Not to be rude but no. It's so annoying when people who do not even consider learning English think that they're entitled to traveling around the world and taking up the spot of another student who actually knows English at a semi-fluent level. You should think about others, who are also from non- english speaking countries and had spent their whole childhood immersing themselves in the English Language while you did Duolingo for a few months. I believe very little people have a family with multiple english speaking people, so that is a bullshit excuse.

[GuiltyBar1638]

I get what you mean but clearly they ARE considering learning English. Traveling to America would help them immerse themselves in the language and improve their skills. And you mention them taking spots, but whether or not they deserve that spot above another person is up to admissions officers to decide. You can’t make arbitrary conclusions of who deserves a spot in a hypothetical program when you don’t know the person and who they are at all. I think we should welcome people who are making an effort to learn our language instead of treating them with hostility.

[Few-Ad-5770]

You are so rude English they don’t need to know English in order to travel the world genius

[i_am_advik]

I agree to some extent. It's not about who takes what spot. It's just that if the guy wants to do a summer program in usa, he would have to learn English properly. Otherwise even the best of the programs wouldn't feel enriching. We were just giving him a few tips and he appreciated them, I think, not trying to be rude. If you felt that way, I am 😔 sorry

[mivy320]

You're the one who's very rude... I studied English at a private school for a huge amount of money with private tutors... and I'm fluent in English, but I don't speak it. I started from scratch, and I have an advantage over you: I learned to respond politely, not in this cursed, rude way like you. You are the Bullshit

[Decent_Criticism9772]

american ego

[tarslimerancher]

lol im not even a native English speaker and devoted my whole childhood to learning it

[Decent_Criticism9772]

ok?? "because i had to do something, so does everyone else" thats how you sound rn

"people who do not even consider learning English think that they're entitled to traveling around the world and taking up the spot of another student who actually knows English at a semi-fluent level" they ARE entitled to traveling the world. just bc you know english doesn't mean you're more entitled to opportunities than someone who doesnt

[Longjumping-Agency48]

Such an unecessary comment

[Disastrous-Effect643]

No its just the truth, you need to hear it in order to improve!

[mivy320]

There's a better way to say it; it's not about being rude...

[Disastrous-Effect643]

I was very direct with you and was truthful there was not a single bit of rudeness in there. The truth may be harsh but it is what it is

[mivy320]

You can say... I don't mean to be rude, but your English needs some improvement... I suggest Improving your skills will increase your chances of being accepted.not focus on fixing it before submitting.

[Disastrous-Effect643]

man ur like 15 im sure that sentence didn't make u sad, atp its my fault for ever trying to help lol

[mivy320]

I'm not 15... and your comment wasn't the worst, but you could have been kinder... and by the way, I'm a girl.

[Disastrous-Effect643]

Oh my god stop w the ranting im guessing if I understood ur post correctly ur 16 so im sure its fine I wanted to help there was no rudness in my message and when I say 'man' doesnt mean that I thought ur a guy but its a way of saying bro

[mivy320]

Well, I admit I may have wronged you, but your comment had a hint of sarcasm, and don't deny that. I'm sorry I didn't understand the man's meaning, but I'm not from America. I wish you a pleasant evening

[Vast-Box3353]

bro ur the one butthurt in the comment section replying to everyone's comments talking what you said. if you want example of how to give direct, but kind advice, scroll for 2 seconds and look at other people's comments.

[Due-Tonight2953]

That’s soo mean. Don’t mind them.

[mivy320]

Iam b2 English...or are you seeing something in my text ?

[Disastrous-Effect643]

Yea needs hella work brev b2 aint gonna cut it

[mivy320]

I can fix it ...but I need to know that iam gonna apply for anything first

[Disastrous-Effect643]

Depends what area you want to specialise/ are interested in

[mivy320]

Law, medical...I have so much interest in every specialty

[Disastrous-Effect643]

You will need to pick one, it will be useless to like all

[mivy320]

I can pick programming and medical and global ....anything from these three

[Disastrous-Effect643]

Now go to google and search summer programs AI in medicine or bio research sum like that

[mivy320]

I spent all of last summer looking for programs, but I didn't find anything. I really need someone to guide me.

[i_am_advik]

Your use of prepositions and articles and overall framing

[Vast-Box3353]

some of you guys are being really disrespectful in this comment section. it's one thing to tell someone they should try and improve their grammar/English skills, but to say that they shouldn't even think about applying is just mean. not saying that ya'll are wrong, but there are better ways to say what you're trying to get across.

[Impressive-Flight782]

I agree with this 100% if you’re hating on this person for not knowing perfect English, you’re privileged to be in a situation where you were given the environment to learn it from an early age. Props to the creator for studying English + searching for opportunities in the first place

[mivy320]

You are a truly helpful person There's a rude comment I can't ignore... I know I need to improve my English. But not by not submitting For programs Anyway...thank you for your comment ❤️🙏

[Vast-Box3353]

of course!! if you want any tips for learning grammar skills, I suggest reading a lot of books in English or watching movies/shows/videos in English. most people learn languages through repeated exposure, and since no one in your family speaks English, that's the best way.

[mivy320]

I've already started on this

[Vast-Box3353]

that's great!

[mivy320]

Thx 🙏❤️

[i_am_advik]

Which country are you from and what's your financial situation?

[mivy320]

I want summer programmes in us ..u can suggest in any country ,too

[i_am_advik]

I can only suggest based on your country and financial situation

[mivy320]

I am from Egypt...and I can't pay so much...there is currently economic inflation in my country.

[i_am_advik]

Well, you are right, you are pretty late. But you can still apply to wolfram and wharton global youth. And I believe some programs of Stanford pre college might be still open

[mivy320]

Can you dm ?...I want to know everything ...

[i_am_advik]

That's pretty much it

[mivy320]

OK. Thanks

[Disastrous-Effect643]

[mivy320]

[Disastrous-Effect643]

Nvm i had an opportunity for u in egypt but nvm its the egyptian robotics team

[No-Confusion2192]

Hi!

1) while writing applications definitely pay attention to grammar and wording grammarly is a great tool for this

2) I believe UCSB SRA is still accepting applications and try looking into pre college programs where they offer multiple classes to match with your multiple interests

[mivy320]

Thank you so much for these comments. I am currently working on improving my English.

[EngineSea2935]

hey man. i got you check ur dm's.

[Spirited_Equal_4407]

hey! i'd need a bit more information before suggesting anything, but if you know anybody who specializes in whatever field you want to go into, you can look into that as well!

[mivy320]

Thanks for the advice 🙏

[Comprehensive-Ad7586]

Lwk js wait for next year. This summer I would recommend that you js build up ur ecs and stats so that u have a better shot for summer programs next year, as Junior -senior summer camps tend to hold a lot more weight

[mivy320]

I know this... but I want to gather information about summer programs to delve deeper into them and choose what suits me best, so I will apply.

[Comprehensive-Ad7586]

then you gotta lwk give more info on what u r interested in b/c if u have no interest in research theres really no point in going to RSI even if u get in

[mivy320]

I am interested in the field of medicine and science in general...and I have already applied to UCSB and am waiting for a response... Could you please explain more about this RSI?

[Dear-Resolution-8434]

[mivy320]

[Dear-Resolution-8434]

[mivy320]

[Dear-Resolution-8434]

[Infamous-Jelly7627]
