Hey, i was wondering abt something similar. Would it be a good or bad thing for my college application if my yr 8/9/10 grades were average but I improved really quickly in the last two years? like 3.5 to 3.9

Do most people who get into Ivy League go study there, even if the tuition is very expensive for their families?

my family income is like 35k aud lol. So the grant isn't just provided at T10 unis? what about for international students?

I've heard that Northwestern University is really good.

I've heard that top US colleges give a lot of grants to poor students, that doesn't happen in the UK right?

Thanks

Is there any advantage to applying for Ivy League (as a new student) at the end of my first year at another uni?
 in  r/ApplyingToCollege  4d ago

oh, the policy says if I completed less than one full academic year I will be treated as a first-year, if I completed one or more academic year I will be treated as a transfer student.

I'll try think of a way to not do any courses in the 3rd term in the current uni.

My high school IB grades are supposed to be valid for up to 2 years after graduation.

I went to a relatively unknown uni UNSW

Maybe, only below 3-5 people in Australia get into any single ivy league / Oxbridge unis per year.

Yeah, I just realized that. So for Oxford and Cambridge, I apply between September and October, and then the results come out next year?

For other UK Unis applications start in January and the year starts around September?

Thank you

If I got only 3 small test marks off a 44 in IB (I got 42), is there any way to mention in my application how close I was to a 44, without sounding too petty?
 in  r/ApplyingIvyLeague  5d ago

the IB transcript of my grade also shows how many points are needed for the next grade so I'm fine.

It does sound quite petty but I want to maximise my chance.

Thank you

Is this just for the top 8-10 unis in the US? What about the top 20? If I don't get in.

What do you call the title for being ranked 1st in one of your courses? (in high school)
 in  r/ApplyingIvyLeague  6d ago

oh ok, thank you. What if I get #1 in math or English certificates from my high school? I can still submit them to the uni, right?

 in  r/ApplyingIvyLeague  6d ago

I thought these terms refer to number 1 and 2 in the entire graduating class (year level).

Or can they be used for number 1 in Maths or English in the graduating class as well?

Same for international students? The universities in Australia don't give a cent.

unsw is underrated on that list, unsw should be just behind usyd overall.
But we're better at engineering / commerce stuff I think
