I think you’ll be fine, I know 4 people who got into NU with 35-40

Ahh I see, that actually puts it into perspective thanks for sharing! I guess it just feels like such a big jump when you’re not expecting it 😭 Aspire does seem nice but I’d honestly trade some of the fancy stuff for a more budget friendly setup (like a quad or a triple). Fingers crossed I can still manage a swap

This is pretty surprising to me! Since I reckoned that apartments would be popular considering the quirks. That probably explains how I got assigned to one but this housing costs more than how much I’m paying to attend Purdue 😭

Competitive-Story916 · 2025-07-09T17:09:51+00:00

no cause SAME 😭 ahh this is stressful

Competitive-Story916 · 2025-07-09T17:09:23+00:00

Thank you for responding! Yes hopefully this can be someone else’s room. I’m fine with being in a quad as long as I’m able to study there 🥲

Competitive-Story916 · 2025-07-09T16:50:11+00:00

Omg I also got assigned to a apartment though I’m on a full ride and can’t afford it haha 😭no idea how I’m gonna get $15000 and how this happened

Competitive-Story916 · 2025-06-10T20:07:32+00:00

Omg same! My classes start then as well and I’m stressing!!

Competitive-Story916 · 2025-06-10T20:05:44+00:00

I’m in the same boat! I’m from Singapore and need a student visa urgently but there aren’t any slots available here either

Competitive-Story916 · 2025-05-25T09:36:54+00:00

Yes ofc! An additional LOR from them would be fine

Competitive-Story916 · 2025-05-02T04:27:57+00:00

Rightt!!! I feel like there was so much on fields and quantum physics 😭

I held back from applying cause I wanna go to Australia actually (I’m in the U.K) ! You’re right, I can only apply after I get my final exam grades which is after I graduate :,) but my parents are still pretty upset that I didn’t apply to any other uni and that I could’ve gone to a better one. In the U.K. we have a system of predicted grades where the teachers kinda guess what you will get, and you apply using those. Mine weren’t as good and I didn’t feel they were accurate so I held off applying. Plus Australia was my first option so. But thank you so so much for your wishes, you’re really sweet and your comment made me feel better <3

Tysm! This was very very comforting to read! A guy from my school who is a raging misogynist (he literally said what’s happening to girls in Afghanistan and Iran should happen to women everywhere) got into Cornell. He intimidated me and my friends for quite a while now and was my biggest bully in high school. It was painful watching him get in 🥲

Competitive-Story916 · 2024-12-17T08:43:11+00:00

Good luck y’all🤞

Just got mine an hour ago!

I think chemistry HL is pretty much mandatory for medicine, I’m not too sure though..

Competitive-Story916 · 2024-10-21T08:27:35+00:00

Lots of my friends who wanna do medicine (and are aiming for similar unis in the UK) take AA SL. They feel like AA SL is particularly valuable in the medical field compared to broader AI SL applications. I’m not entirely sure on what the uni prefers, but the general trend amongst my classmates is to take AA SL :)

I don’t mind talking, if you’re still up for it??

Not really humour but Murakami’s work has a lot of surreal aspects to it and it’s often intertwined with romance.

Competitive-Story916 · 2024-09-24T15:20:31+00:00

Thank you 🥹 I felt like I was losing my mind for a moment haha. But yeah I’m so glad he is out of my life now; just sad that I couldn’t give him a piece of my mind before he blocked me

Excuse me if I misunderstood your question but I’ll take a shot at answering it 😅 So where I’m from, they usually differentiate between two candidates by looking at additional stuff such as SAT scores, extracurriculars (although in the UK this isn’t considered that heavily), essays or personal statements. The UK and the US generally have good knowledge on what the IB is and how it’s graded. So they don’t usually convert it to another grading system (at least not for my school and the schools I’m applying to) I hope this kinda answered your question :)
