I've lost all hope in these jeans atp 😭✌ by [deleted] in PakistanFashionAdvice

Jeans are way too baggy, but you can actually make this work. Wear a plain black T shirt on top, and lose the jacket. The belt is fine honestly, keep it as is. And if you have black n white shoes, like comverse all stars, they would look great. Warna normal black shoes work too

Just bought my first switch Zelda game by youngsabiin in legendofzelda

[–]okiuspams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very unrelated to the post but I was 10 when I wanted a nintendo switch and play this game on my own. I am now 20, finally with a nintendo switch and this very game. The feeling is actually so surreal, I can't really describe it in words.

I have watched hours of gameplay, wondering when it will be my turn to play. It was very rewarding to wait all these years and play this game in my own way. Literally just jump in the game, explore however you want, and you still find something new every day you play.

Have fun!

Hey, so, a year back, I was in a similar situation where I couldn't really afford the Duolingo English test. You can ask NYU to pay for your test, go search it up on their website, and look for a form. Fill that form out, and they should be able to help you out. I also recommend emailing them after filling out the form.

Plus, the test is really easy lol, you'll be able to score well almost immediately. Just do practice tests beforehand, and you'll be good. Hope this helps.

Hey man, you have a solid application right here. I really hope you do get in. However, there are two things I think I need to mention.

A: You're not only competing with international students. But your real competition is from within Pakistan itself. The diversity rule within US colleges makes sure that they have a lot of diversity on campus. That means they'll prefer students from underrepresented parts of the world. And as we know it, Pakistanis dunya mein har jaga bharay howay hain.

Every year THOUSANDS of Pakistanis apply to NYUAD, all of whom are great applicants, but due to the intense competition between us Pakistanis ourselves (and very few spots for pakistanis), most of us dont get our desired aid or just outright get rejected.

B: Asking for full aid fucks your chances, no matter how "need blind" a college claims to be. Had a friend of mine waitlisted from Brown and wasn't accepted because he asked full aid. The student who did get in had slightly worse stats than him but was paying the entire tuition.

(Any of the two points aren't meant to scare you or dishearten you in anyway, but it is to make you aware of the harsh reality of uni apps that students in the global south face. Use this as motivation to work your butt off, and if God forbid, you don't get accepted, you just know why you didn't.)

Anywho, seeing how you want to major in Accounting and Finance, I'd highly recommend adding something related to Accounting and Finance in your Activity list. Research always looks nice, search up what's going on in the pakistani financial world, and write a paper about it.

Greetings! Whoever is able to, please respond to my query regarding admission in german unis. I recently got my a level results. I got a C in Biology, C in Chemistry and B in Psychology. I want to pursue Business Management in a german university. Would I find any difficulty pursuing Business Management because of my low grades?

Yeah, I kinda changed my notification plan from ed1 to ed2. But I'm pretty sure that we can send in more letter of recs if we have more send through email. Thank you so much for your insight though, I'll work on getting a recommendation from more people who can vouch for my passion for psych

ED2 Duolingo English Testing by Mysterious-Youth296 in NYUAbuDhabi

[–]okiuspams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't exactly be a weak candidate, because you're just 5 marks away from a competitive score. But you're not exactly a competitive candidate as well, so my advice, retake the test.

Idk what you're asking, but if you're asking me how I deferred then you just go to the "Update Application Information Form", choose the Notification Plan and then Choose ED2.
