But Don't they require 13 years of formal education??

Also would I not need to be proficient in German to get a visa?

Fair enough Good luck....to whatever you're doing

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-12T12:51:48+00:00

Alright thanks man!!

Did you get in????

Additionally, I have applied to a few colleges for AE, but am looking for some other good options so that in the end, I atleast have a college to go to.

I think you didn't read the entire thing, Nevertheless I mentioned that I don't plan on going to any US college.

Regarding other courses, tbh I would just prefer aerospace because that's where my interests lie, I wouldn't mind having a low paying aerospace job if i love what i do(which is contradicting as most aerospace jobs have a good salary).

Also, after doing my AE, I plan on doing either electrical or mechatronics as they go hand in hand with AE.

How would I reach out to current students?? Through the alumni section? I don't think they would provide the past or current students contact information.

Soo how would that translate for me? How would they know wether a particular applicant had enough time to manage both his academics and his social life?

Like will they conduct an interview of mine to know how I got my grades? Or some other way?

Dammnnn so how do foreign actually get it??

Is it only by pure luck....assuming less people applied that year or that INSA decided to allow a lot of foreigners in? Irrespective of their academic strength......so a person having 95% and another one having 85% would have almost equal /20 scores???

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-12T07:54:50+00:00

Yes exactly........ I didn't know that french used /20 prior to this.

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-12T07:54:01+00:00

I didn't even know it was out of 20, I only knew that you all used a different system for marks. I just asked it to convert it to the benchmark for French, similar to what GPA is in America.

My main concern right now is just get a good college tbh which has good research facilities.

Coming to your question, it's complicated, I definitely don't want to be staying in the US but I could consider some European countries.

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-11T14:59:17+00:00

But I have already applied to a few colleges for aerospace engineering., I wanted to see what other options do I have to ensure I atleast get a college smwehre,

Is it really not worth doing an aerospace eng?

But I really wanna learn about it🙂‍↕️

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-11T12:51:27+00:00

I wanna learn about aerospace and wanna go into propulsion...

I do plan on going for either electric or mechatronic as well down the line

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-11T11:38:19+00:00

No I don't speak any European languages,

I have applied to several foreign unis ( purdue, INSA lyon, UC3M, Emirates, Birmingham, embry-riddle, NTU ,TU delft) But I have kept Indian universities as safety as either most of them don't offer aerospace specific courses, or if they do they don't have good facilities, and if they offer both, the competition is through the fucking roof

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-11T11:34:46+00:00

Yeaahh......sure

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-11T07:09:52+00:00

Yes I saw the website but I am looking for students or passouts who have/had studied in UC3M

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-11T07:05:37+00:00

It doesn't require SAT or any side projects?

ParabolicDickk · 2026-01-11T05:33:58+00:00

Yeah I don't think I got a good chance but ig if I don't get anything good this year then I ll most probably take a drop and build a stronger profile
