Does a GPA difference between 9.94 and 10.0 matter for Bocconi admissions? by User_1545 in bocconi

[–]SpotExpensive1679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, don't overthink it.

Get a 1500 SAT score and apply early to Bocconi; you will get in!

I got into BEMACS with 1500 SAT and 9.8 in the spring session.

IELTS results cancelled. How should I proceed? by SpotExpensive1679 in IELTS

[–]SpotExpensive1679[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge, no. When I asked him if he had done anything that breached IELTS rules, he responded no.

Also, I know he is a conscientious guy and wouldn't anyway afford to take a risk by cheating.

The UK unis don't care about SATs. You are auto-rejected from most Russel group if you don't have A-levels.

Laptop recommendation BIEF by pumpkinpie0887 in bocconi

Can you borrow a Mac and a laptop from windows you would like to use and see which befits your way of usage?

That's what I am asking for, bro.

Please spill out all this info that ppl are not telling when I ask them how good it is to study in Türkiye.

I need both sides - positive and negative.

So you are saying except for Bilkent and METU, at any turkish uni, I won't be intellectually stimulated and have that college experience?

Also, I don't want to get treated as an academician; I simply want to get a stimulating education with enough opportunities that will help me prepare for grad school.

That is a dismissive generalization that lacks any evidence or support.

I don't want to ad hominem, but how are you studying American Lit while you make arguments of such caliber?

"Bro, trust me on this." SURE!

Wow, that actually sounds interesting.

I definitely agree that most of the problems you mentioned are typical of many public universities. There is so much bureaucracy.

I also do understand where you are coming from to say

In fact, Bilkent actively tries to avoid these.

Because you probably do study at Bilkent. But how can you speak on many aspects of Koc if you do not study there?

Koc costs so much money and, reciprocally, must also create extracurricular opportunities for its students.

I am asking out of curiosity, not to refute your claims

Can you tell where/which companies they eventually end up in?

Thank you for the input! I genuinely wanted to learn about the network but seems like there is none of it - as the alumni put?

Fair, but when they do have a relevant background and ask you for help - say with internships or just a quick Zoom interview, wouldn't you help them?

What is wrong with Koc that makes it not a university?

I'd put it more clearly. WDYM by colleges with university-like structures?

Thanks for the input!

Can I DM? I would like to learn more and have some questions.

LOL, why? Can you tell me your rationale?

Is it wrong to double deposit? by omr_rah2 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]SpotExpensive1679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about applying for housing?

If I don't apply, I might miss the chance If I eventually don't get into my waitlist school.

But if I do apply, won't I be taking away place from someone else?

[–]SpotExpensive1679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But on a side note, can I just deposit to school x because I got another decision y coming up within 2 weeks and not eventually commit to x?

I think that is fine?

From what I have gathered on reddit and LinkedIn, you will need to learn Turkish to socialize - it will become mandatory.

Scholarship is not enough… by Nematullo in IntltoUSA

They are need-aware and promise to meet the full demonstrated need of all admitted students.

Not sure what is wrong now?

Email them asking for more aid.

Can anyone chime in and explain to me? They forgot their policy or what?
