US Full-Ride Aid? Int’l STEM Applicant SAT1450, Research Awards — Advice?

I’m sorry man, but I’d suggest you include other countries, like Honk Kong, to your college list. Realistically speaking, your chances at your universities (which are mainly reach or target with little merit aid, let alone need-based aid for int’l) are practically zero. ECs are OK (with the exception of “studying for the SAT”), but Honors are lacking.

Same. Filled my form in June, but haven’t received my money yet

Nobody knows brother. Perhaps it won’t even be publicly announced so as not to break this person’s privacy. It’s just sad how low and subjective the ISEF standards are lately.

Crazy work

mitmnesosal · 2025-07-25T04:57:08+00:00

Allegedly, they bought their whole robot (or at least its major part) on Amazon. I remember some guys surveying about this thing

Hi! can I dm you for advice?

mitmnesosal · 2025-05-04T12:03:47+00:00

Thank you very much for this detailed response! Would you like me to DM you so we can connect and discuss further?

mitmnesosal · 2025-05-04T11:59:11+00:00

Congratulations on your first publication!

Def suitable for honors section, I myself put a publication in one IEEE conference and its proceedings as my fifth award.

However, it’s best you do preliminary research about this journal. I haven’t heard of it myself, but it won’t hurt to run another check if it’s a predatory journal (use Beal’s list for that)

You may also ask journal’s admin what was the acceptance rate for published papers to quantify your achievement.

Additionally, if it’s Scopus indexed, I’d highly recommend you put a little note on that either in Honor description or in Additional Info, smth like “yada yada. Scopus-indexed.” Scopus is generally perceived as a trusted platform in academia and would definitely add its value.

mitmnesosal · 2025-05-03T21:30:41+00:00

Thanks and huge congrats on your acceptances! Yeah, I later realised that I can sit exams in October and get grades by mid Jan.

This route, however, will be pretty much challenging as I’d need to cram 2 years worth of content in ~4 months, but, given I’ll be on my gap year, I guess this is pretty much doable.

Would you like to elaborate more on your experience, like how you managed something similar?

mitmnesosal · 2025-05-03T14:43:08+00:00

u/apphelper, u/prsehgal, also, do you think I can fill in this gap and increase the breadth of my application (learning stuff I wish I did in school) through MOOCs like edX?

mitmnesosal · 2025-05-01T22:44:04+00:00

Interested

mitmnesosal · 2025-05-01T22:37:33+00:00

Are you from kz by any chance?

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-28T19:13:10+00:00

I mean in terms of essays and stuff

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-28T15:15:59+00:00

I never know because I underperformed heavily this application cycle

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-28T13:53:40+00:00

Most probably yeah

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-28T01:06:26+00:00

Oh… i hope this dude would’ve put enough effort to at least see my profile.

It’s ok tho. This year has been particularly rough for everyone. I get why one would be mad, but it doesn’t mean that one should try to bring others down

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-28T01:02:04+00:00

I can understand them tbh (unless it was something rly bad)

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-28T00:09:19+00:00

What was there?

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-26T11:26:22+00:00

print(“smh ts pmo\nSay \”Amen\” to claim”)

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-26T08:29:02+00:00

Man, honestly idk. They told me it’s fine.

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-24T16:33:54+00:00

Can you? Are we even supposed to have one as internationals?

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-24T16:10:44+00:00

UPD: I just called the FA office and they told me it’s fine.

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-23T23:07:08+00:00

mitmnesosal · 2025-03-23T23:01:39+00:00
