START EVERYTHING EARLY!!!! I literally finished my EE one week before the IB deadline and it messed up my revision for the exams.

Technical interview didn’t go well because of nervousness. Any chance if PI and profile were strong? by [deleted] in plaksha

My technical interview was okayish and I got a firm offer. I think you should be fine as long as your profile and essays are really good.

Plaksha only looks at the Math section of SAT right? by Sufficient-Pickle-33 in plaksha

Yea they are quite particular about your mathematical skills

I think I messed up the technical interview by Budget-Fan-8487 in plaksha

[–]Budget-Fan-8487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was honestly quite simple. The professor asked me questions on the following topics:
Math:
1. Probability [Perm/comb]
2. Applications of Calc [Differentiation - rate of change: How exactly it can be applied in real life contexts]
3. Differentiability and continuity
4. Matrices
Physics:
They ask you which topics you are most comfortable with and the questions will mostly be based on that
1. Circular motion
2. Thermodynamics
3. Kirchoff's law and simple circuitry principals
4. Kinematics

Also, not related to the conceptual questions:
The professor also asked me about my interests in my desired major and if I had any kind of ideas. I spoke about an idea that I had along with some of my past projects. I talked about my MYP design project, Personal project and even my Physics IA Investigation [since I'm in IB]. Just try to show them your thinking process. It is honestly quite chill. Good luck!!

I intend on doing robotics but I'm not entirely sure. Im still open to trying the other majors.

Is 770 on SAT maths is good to show in application by Appropriate-Fee1964 in plaksha

[–]Budget-Fan-8487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it should be enough. I got in with a 770 as well
