<p>i am applying for computer science... do i have a chance or what?
and btw to give you a vrief description about my garding system, they grade us according to our percentage in the exams as follows
A* = 100 %
A = 95 %
B = 85 %
C = 67.5 %</p>
<p>as for the AS ( advanced studies )" A " is the highest grade that can be given to a student which is eaual to 95 & and then multiplied by 1.5 .</p>
<p>Idk the requirements for that school. Do they ask for the SATs or any standardized test. If they do, did you take those already?
You seem to be a really good student and person. Your ECs are really good. You just need to make sure what is that they are asking for since I have no idea of their requirements.</p>
<p>It’s hard to say, seeing that Abu Dhabi is a new school. However, with NYU’s standards, you seem to have a good shot at it. Your EC’s will help. Do well on your SATs; that could be the deciding factor. </p>
<p>It’s hard to tell for 2 reasons. You didn’t provide an standardize test score, and it’s a brand new school. Because you don’t have an standardize test score, I can’t begin to compare you to the students that were admitted. And because it’s a new school, there hasn’t been anyone admitted yet, so I have no one to compare you to. Your basically throwing a dart at the wall.</p>
<p>Before you can even think whether or not you will get it, you have to take a standardize test.</p>
<p>i am planning on taking the sat exam…but beleive me the IGCSE is way harder … its a british system and the stuff they teach to the students is incredibly hard…can you actually beleive the the AS math is the same Math an engineering freshman takes !!!</p>
<p>guys…the thing i am telling you is that they dont need sat’s , my AS subjects are a test option that i can submit…my question is according to these results do u think i can get in??</p>
<p>btw i have excellent rec’s ( even more than excellent the teachers who wrote it are like my parents!! )</p>
<p>WOOOT…thanks for your chance :D…i am hoping so :D…btw just for curiosity, what is you status? are you a senior or a freshman or what?? nice to meet you :D</p>
