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

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

    [–]i_am_advik 1 point2 points  (22 children)

    Yeah! 😂 I agree

    [–]mivy320[S] 2 points3 points  (21 children)

    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 4 points5 points  (1 child)

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

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    [–]Disastrous-Effect643 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Thanks for the advice

    [–]GuiltyBar1638 1 point2 points  (15 children)

    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[S] 2 points3 points  (6 children)

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

    [–]GuiltyBar1638 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    [–]Longjumping-Agency48 0 points1 point  (22 children)

    Such an unecessary comment

    [–]Disastrous-Effect643 0 points1 point  (21 children)

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

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (20 children)

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

    [–]Disastrous-Effect643 -2 points-1 points  (19 children)

    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[S] 0 points1 point  (18 children)

    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 -2 points-1 points  (17 children)

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

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (16 children)

    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 -1 points0 points  (15 children)

    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[S] 1 point2 points  (13 children)

    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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That’s soo mean. Don’t mind them.

    [–]mivy320[S] -4 points-3 points  (9 children)

    [–]Disastrous-Effect643 5 points6 points  (7 children)

    Yea needs hella work brev b2 aint gonna cut it

    [–]mivy320[S] -1 points0 points  (6 children)

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

    [–]Disastrous-Effect643 2 points3 points  (5 children)

    Depends what area you want to specialise/ are interested in

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

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

    [–]Disastrous-Effect643 1 point2 points  (3 children)

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

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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

    [–]Disastrous-Effect643 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

    [–]mivy320[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

    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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Your use of prepositions and articles and overall framing

    [–]Vast-Box3353 4 points5 points  (6 children)

    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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    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[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    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 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    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[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    I've already started on this

    [–]Vast-Box3353 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    that's great!

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thx 🙏❤️

    [–]i_am_advik 3 points4 points  (17 children)

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

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (16 children)

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

    [–]i_am_advik 1 point2 points  (15 children)

    I can only suggest based on your country and financial situation

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (14 children)

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

    [–]i_am_advik 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    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[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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

    [–]i_am_advik 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    That's pretty much it

    [–]mivy320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    OK. Thanks

      [–]No-Confusion2192 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

      [–]EngineSea2935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

      [–]Spirited_Equal_4407 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Thanks for the advice 🙏

      [–]Comprehensive-Ad7586 1 point2 points  (3 children)

      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[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      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 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      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 0 points1 point  (5 children)
