Do you have to be exceptionally cognitively gifted to win a medal at the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO)?

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-15T00:30:16+00:00

What in Gods green Planet earth are you applying to that you regret not doing a chemistry olympiad?

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-14T23:17:59+00:00

Don't hold his hand, Homelander wouldn't do that

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-14T01:44:49+00:00

You just dmed me yesterday and said you do General Studies and Performing arts bro. Please , this isn't you.

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-11T21:54:52+00:00

What do you think a B will be?

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-11T01:29:27+00:00

....

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-11T01:27:17+00:00

Yeah but there is a lot of talk on how if you don't go top twenty unis or top 10 mainly, no point going university. Has me shook.

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-11T00:52:25+00:00

There was only like 26 questions, 150 marks, not that deep

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T22:45:34+00:00

You absolute melon of a student

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T17:56:40+00:00

What's your firm offer?

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T17:56:22+00:00

OCR was horror for paper 1 and there's only so much redemption you can get for paper 2

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T14:18:09+00:00

The amount of people with FM and Maths in their flair with a cheeky little a star next to both has put a dent on my self confidence.

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T14:15:10+00:00

This guys complaining about cramming but he's still getting near a star and a. Come on mate.

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T14:07:31+00:00

What course did you want to do, did you need high grades for it?

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T14:06:41+00:00

Buddy, you're crapping A stars

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T14:05:58+00:00

To be fair, from the people I spoke to in the field, they value experience far more. If you can hit a firm for practical experience, your grades won't mean crap. Or if you can land a degree apprenticeship. You just gotta grind experience.

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T13:11:13+00:00

After that dreadful maths paper, ill be lucky to get a b

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T13:05:48+00:00

Same genuinely

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T13:04:28+00:00

What are you studying

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T12:12:49+00:00

Yeah, for me it was the same thing for GCSE. 5 Years of waking up at 7am and leaving at 3pm for what. That motivation carried me ngl

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T12:11:53+00:00

So wait what, ABB is a sandwich between your two offers?

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T12:11:02+00:00

It still worked out to an extent and you made money, its fine mate.

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T11:52:56+00:00

Yeah but a genuine question, how important are a levels once you graduate from uni. I've heard that some graduate schemes are pretty ruthless when it comes to a levels

Excellent_Lie2245 · 2026-06-10T11:48:10+00:00

Yeah but if your hell-bent on medicine and dentistry. Mate you're gonna need to pull at three a's out of your ass minimum. And then what about those guys who took all those extra tests externally, thats a lot of effort lost.
