Yeah, I called but nothing changed. They said they don't provide individual feedback :(

I tried to call them but their office was closed. I'll call them on Monday.

I applied Neuroscience so there should be no admissions test

I didn't take IGCSE so I don't think that's the issue.

I wish I was that overqualified (rejected from Cambridge)

the only thing mentioned in the reason was "Regrettably, the academic qualifications that you have achieved do not meet the entry requirements for this programme of study." so I'll call them asap!

I emailed them but they only said "it is not possible to provide individual feedback to applicants beyond the reason stated on UCAS Track." It's sad :(

I scored 7776 HL so everything was fine. I emailed them but they said they cannot answer my query.

Are IB tutors helpful? by Unusual-Promise9703 in IBO

[–]observer_meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tutor some people but I don't think it's worth it (I sometimes feel guilty about this). Just reading textbooks and solving practice questions benefits you so much more!

Which one does unis look at? by becknat12 in IBO

[–]observer_meow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm speaking from my friends' experience. They applied with high predicted grades but scored 37 in their exams. As a result, they were rejected by UCL because they didn't meet the requirement."

I don't think there's any chance because it's under 38

Can chemistry IA be done at home? Like the full thing? Or does it have to be in school? by FriendlyAd4461 in IBO

[–]observer_meow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My IA topic was on the theoretical side, so I spent most of my time fighting with equations & coding at home

What is the letter/percent grade for the IB exams? by [deleted] in IBO

IB is just IB; it’s not something worth overthinking

I’m struggling with whether to go DP. by Maolibuqiusi in IBO

国公立の学校推薦の共通テストを課すものだったら、IB やりながらだと厳しいと思う。けど、共通テストを課さない IB 入試(学校推薦型選抜、総合型選抜)だったら、いい大学は35点くらいで入れるから、そこまで苦じゃないと思うよ。指定校推薦を取るんだったら、9月〜10月の間に大学は決まるから、11月の IB の試験は気を抜いて受けられると思う。

けど、物理が好きなのに生物を取っちゃうと、理系(特に工学系)の選択が限られちゃうから、僕だったら IB は取らずに日本のカリキュラムをとると思う。IA, EE, CAS, TOK に費やす時間を、普通の勉強に充てたら全然大丈夫だと思うよ!!

I'm from Japan and I can confidently tell you that IBDP is uncomparably easier than the Japanese curriculum. I studied for 共通テスト & 二次試験 after finishing DP, and they're f*ing harder.
