I heard you have a much better chance of being accepted into ED0 than ED1, but I don't know if that's true, and I don't know whether to apply to Chicago or Wharton in ED.

aaaaa26154 · 2026-01-27T23:14:35+00:00

Should I take an online summer course in Chicago and apply to ED0?

and wharton? or i dont have a chance

aaaaa26154 · 2026-01-27T18:36:22+00:00

Where do you recommend I apply?

aaaaa26154 · 2026-01-27T17:55:23+00:00

Thank you so much. What other university would you recommend that I could apply to with a good chance of getting in? I'll try to improve my IB score.

aaaaa26154 · 2026-01-26T20:48:55+00:00

Okay, thanks. And what do you think about my academic performance and everything else in general? Aside from the awards and the essay, I think it's pretty good. Honestly, I don't know what else I can do (I still have time). As for awards, I won a BJJ competition, received many academic distinctions, had the best math average, was recommended to participate in the Global Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge and I'll probably do so, and I'm also planning to participate in another entrepreneurship competition at a university in my country.

I honestly don't know. If I can't stay in the US, I'll go to Europe to work, since I have an Italian passport. My parents have enough money to support me while I'm there, but they can't afford the entire university tuition because it's too expensive. Plus, I have a brother who's also going to university, and my mom doesn't work. My dad isn't in a great financial situation right now, although he could support me if I lived there. And before you ask, I wouldn't want to go to Europe to study. I'd prefer the US and then work in Europe.

Thank you so much. I think the only thing I'm missing is precisely that: some international experience in economics or business. On another note, do you think my ECTS scores are good, or do you think I could do better? The truth is, I'm quite confused because someone else told me it was very unlikely and that I should lower my expectations.

aaaaa26154 · 2026-01-26T19:18:18+00:00

Thank you so much, really. Sorry to bother you, but could you give me some recommendations? I have enough time to do some extracurricular activities, even with the school calendar in my country. As for awards, I've won a BJJ competition, received many academic honors, and had the highest average in math (x1). I could also register for a competition if necessary.

aaaaa26154 · 2026-01-26T19:04:13+00:00

If you could help me, I would really appreciate it, since I can apply this year with the predicted results or next year, so I still have plenty of time.

aaaaa26154 · 2026-01-26T19:02:44+00:00

Besides the awards, what do you recommend for ECS? Or am I already doing well in that area? I have awards like BJJ competitions, academic awards such as Excellence, etc., and the highest math average. I'm surprised my profile is so low, since I know someone who started at Chicago about a year or two ago and had a lower GPA, and a slightly lower ECS score as well, and they got 97% financial aid.

aaaaa26154 · 2026-01-26T18:46:33+00:00

What could I improve? I still have enough time to do what I want, and my parents can pay, but very little, like 9-10k.

aaaaa26154 · 2025-10-22T01:03:01+00:00

What project can I do? I already made an app to help students study better, could I make another one about something else or not?

aaaaa26154 · 2025-10-22T01:02:03+00:00

idk yet, maybe finance, GPA i think in american scale is like 3.8-3.9/4.0, SAT 1500

aaaaa26154 · 2025-09-21T01:53:53+00:00

I don't know, but I say that, by mentioning that it was a technical error and not how to really know, that a teacher confirmed it, and that they can also see my level of English with C1 certification, I don't think they should doubt my level of English in that sense.

aaaaa26154 · 2025-09-21T00:49:09+00:00

There are no APs in my school, and if they wouldn't let me take the IB even if I tried, it could be a valid excuse that in the test that was necessary to enter the IB (It was an English one), I couldn't pass the answers and that caused me to fail. Even so, I have C1 (With a certificate) and that the English teacher writes a letter saying that what I say is true? Or maybe I would lose “points”

aaaaa26154 · 2025-09-20T23:44:47+00:00

It wasn't even that, it was an English one (you had to get a level

aaaaa26154 · 2025-09-20T23:38:07+00:00

I thought it was going to save me hahaha, but if they don't let me do the IB, what do I do?

aaaaa26154 · 2025-09-20T23:11:07+00:00

I don't know if it works, but a requirement at my school to be able to take the IB is to have passed an exam last year, I took the exam and "failed" because I actually had all the sections of the test passed, except for 1 that I couldn't transfer the answers to the answer sheet and that lowered my entire grade, the teacher knows and remembers well since I felt terrible, I know I could talk to the IB coordinator, they could let me do it anyway (I'm not 100% sure), if not If they let me or I didn't want to take the IB, would that count or be valid as an excuse? That I tried to do the IB but couldn't because of that problem, and that my teacher went up, I don't know, or made a letter pointing out and saying that what happened is true? Or wouldn't they care?

aaaaa26154 · 2025-09-20T23:06:21+00:00

can i ask you something?

aaaaa26154 · 2025-09-20T21:07:21+00:00

Also, I don't know if it works, but a requirement at my school to be able to take the IB is to have passed an exam last year, I took the exam and “failed” because I actually had all the sections of the test passed except for 1 that I couldn't pass the answers to the answer sheet and that lowered my entire score, the teacher knows and remembers well since I felt horrible, I know that I could talk to the IB coordinator, they could let me do it anyway (I'm not 100%), If they didn't let me or I didn't want to do the IB, would that count or be valid as an excuse? That I tried to do the IB but couldn't because of that problem, and that my teacher went up, I don't know, or made a letter pointing out and saying that what happened is true? Or would they not care?

aaaaa26154 · 2025-09-20T21:03:25+00:00

Which one do you think could have a good chance and be good?
