<p>heyy can anyone tell me what’s considered a ‘hooked’ applicant other than being a legacy? period, this term seems almost trite. someone who is exceptionally talented in the arts/music(won international competitions) considered a ‘hooked’ applicant?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To me, even being a legacy isn’t exactly a hook that will get you in any more. It might be an advantage but certainly not a hook. The only real “hooks” nowadays are developmental admits - where your parents or relatives donate (or have the potential to donate) millions of dollars to the school.</p>
<p>Sure, being exceptionally talented would be an advantage in your favor as they are trying to build a class - but it doesn’t guarantee admissions.</p>
<p>Hello, anyone here kind enough to read my college essay (for the uk)? Only for the already undergrads and above, thanks! :)</p>
<p>frankchn > Hey, just wanted to come back to thank you for your advice.</p>
<p>pfaocltd>> Haha are you a RJC '89 student?</p>
<p>Guys, do US colleges award credit for AO level Chinese? I know they award credit for A level subjects, but what about AO Chinese?</p>
<p>yes they do, or at least most do; vanderbilt gave me 5 credit hours.</p>
<p>Phew. All this while I was unaware they offered credit for AO Chinese. I thought it was A level Chinese. Think they forgot to post credits for me.</p>
<p>depends on your administration and faculty. talk to them, and show them the syllabus. they can be downloaded at [.:</a> Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board - Home :.](<a href=“http://www.seab.gov.sg%5D.:”>http://www.seab.gov.sg)</p>
<p>fiona: considering i’m RJC '08, i dont think pfaocltd is *that *old heh</p>
<p>Good luck to all ACS(I) '09-ers (who’re receiving their IB scores today)!</p>
<p>Who here’s willing to read my personal statement for UK? I need opinions on how to improve it</p>
<p>-thwacks 1234d- I meant RJC '07 lahhhh… Like born in '89. I’m sure you just are trying to make me feel uncomfy…</p>
<p>^ Meh. RJC '89 to me means RJC Class of '89 too XD</p>
<p>i predict i will be screwitlah '76… as in, 2076.</p>
<p>@fiona_</p>
<p>Lol your guess is quite off. I’m from VJC '91/'08/'09, whichever works, haha…</p>

<p>any idea where i can apply ? looking at purdue coz of the late deadline but i’m open to most engineering colleges in general. i know my grades are pretty poor (private candidate, self study) but i’ve gotta make do with them. i don’t think i’ll need financial assistance. anything else i need to post ??</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>^ You could try Purdue. Look at schools that has an average high school GPA of about 3.0 or slightly higher I guess?</p>
<p>but what are my chances of getting in ?? that’s actually my dream school. and how will they look at that nasty e8 on my cert ?? do i have to like explain it or something ?? </p>
<p>ps forgot to mention, i’m taking my SAT reasoning this coming jan. i take it i can apply to schools first and tell collegeboard to submit my scores when they’re released ?? or do i have to wait until the scores come out before i apply ?? coz that’s like another month of waiting…</p>
<p>thanks again mate, you’ve been really helpful</p>
<p>^ Sorry, not much of an idea what sort of standards Purdue imposes on international students so can’t really help you there.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You will have to check with individual schools about that. I believe the policies are all different.</p>
