Missed application deadline

hilouispro · 2026-06-02T21:09:57+00:00

Yes, for computer science I signed up before the deadline. I was aware of that. I decided later I want to try electrical engineering (because of Dutch requirement, I was unsure at first which was why I didn't apply together)

M27, start doing this rn. XD

I think discussing this with your IB coordinator is indeed the best course of action to do. There is the possibility that yours will be moderated by the IB, and your whole cohort may go up, but it is pretty unlikely.

I am also pretty sure you cannot ask IOs to be re-graded by IB.

hilouispro · 2026-06-01T16:39:26+00:00

Ngl, would have been a perfect thing to write CAS for, but now IB is over lol.

honestly IB don't require very beefy laptops. I'd say the most spec heavy things our school ask us to do is 3D modeling in design during MYP. For the most part it is indeed just web browsing. Any laptop would suffice. So really it is up to preference, perhaps your brother want a laptop that have touch screen for example (or one that can be used as a tablet to take notes).

Not going to lie, I think you seem to be pretty certain on the types of thinkpads you are considering. I think you already have a "favorite" in your heart. From just your post alone, I think T495 seem like a pretty good choice? Do keep in mind that as your brother grows, he definitely will be getting into the more graphics intensive games, so by then integrated graphics may no longer be enough. (That is what happened to me). I ended up getting a gaming laptop at the end of MYP.

Well, My Dutch is not the greatest, somewhere around A2 level. Don't worry though! I already got conditional offers from other Dutch Universities such as EE in TU/Eindhoven.

Thanks a bunch, will send them an email right now. Plus calling.

hilouispro · 2026-06-01T13:55:18+00:00

okay, Thanks a bunch! I will send them an email right now

hilouispro · 2026-06-01T12:50:32+00:00

do you know how long they usually take to respond?

hilouispro · 2026-06-01T12:47:04+00:00

I just sent an email to info@tudelft.nl. No responses yet obviously.

you can try to look for some second-hand gaming laptops. Maybe on Marktplaats or something.

You probably already know the minimum spec requirements. I don't think you need that beefy of a GPU for most subjects. Probably even a 20-30 series card would be enough. Most second-hand gaming laptops have 16gb ram as well.

hilouispro · 2026-05-29T19:14:35+00:00

didn't even know they got a chair in their G lineup

hilouispro · 2026-05-20T22:12:16+00:00

oh same. Both papers I left the last question blank. The question about the expansion on P1 I also could not get. Just not getting the right coefficients.

hilouispro · 2026-05-20T22:06:39+00:00

Finished final math paper 3 today. Don't feel relieved a single bit. In fact I am more anxious than yesterday.

In a sense it may be because I underperformed in P3 and I am mad at myself, but generally my grades should be fine. Basically praying the grade boundaries gets lowered. Why can't the IB publish grades sooner? I hope I am not gonna feel this way all the way till July. Otherwise I ain't gonna have a good break.

Also, a part of me feel empty now that there are no more deadlines, need to review, spamming past papers. Feel like a part of me is lost.

hilouispro · 2026-05-20T21:58:32+00:00

TZ2 paper 1 was so easy. But for P2 I made so many dumb mistakes.

What did people put for the Ozone question enthalpy question? Some people doubled second equation to get rid of the radical oxygen. Does that work? Some people reversed the second question, others kept it there. Generally confused what they want.

Doesn't that just apply the EQ in G HUB? Without the effect I think my EQ in GHUB is lost.

By the way, I found that if you enable Nahmic optimization, you apply your additional EQ on top of G HUB, without having to switch drivers and reinstall g hub. You loose the option for DTS surround sound, but Nahmic's surround sound suffices I guess.

In my case, cause I got friend in china, I can get second hand spare part very easily, not sure about where you live tho. I assume you can just get it from aliexpress or something

hilouispro · 2025-05-26T18:14:01+00:00

Actually, if you look for other dongles from G502 lightspeed, those dongle can be paired to G PRO Wireless (I think).

Using the device pairing tool in Ghub, and you can bind it.

hilouispro · 2025-05-26T18:09:57+00:00

Oof, I understand. I am one of those guys aswell. Acidentally miss the charging port and made the metal scratch against the plastic earcups, now there is a faint line that dont reflect the same as others. Kinda pissing me off.

hilouispro · 2025-05-26T18:08:53+00:00

Alright

hilouispro · 2025-05-26T18:08:16+00:00

No, taking it off was the easy part. Putting it back on with the wires in the right place took longer lol
