AI Thread Summary
An Indian student nearing high school graduation has applied for computer engineering at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. With a class 10 GPA of 9.6 and an expected 85% in class 12 boards, the student also achieved a 96.7 percentile in the JEE, India's engineering entrance exam, alongside notable extracurricular activities. However, the school is unwilling to provide an expected marksheet, citing rules from Indian education boards, which complicates the student's application process. The school does not maintain records for percentiles, and the student is concerned about explaining lower school scores, particularly in a challenging computer science curriculum. Despite these challenges, the student is confident about the application, as their parents support the decision to study abroad, aiming for a career in AI through computer science or computer engineering.

Good day everyone, I'm an Indian student about to complete high school and I've applied for computer engineering in Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. My class 10th GPA is 9.6 and I am expecting at least 85% in class 12th boards. This year the JEE (Indian SATs for engineering) was also early and I have a percentile of 96.7% in it along with a lot of extracurricular achievements as well. These are standard All-India results that the school has no control over.

The trouble is my school has refused to give an expected marksheet because they think its against the rules of Indian education boards-and are overall hesitant to make any official statements or claims. I asked them to at least have a percentile column so I don't come off as a weak student but they said they have no such records. The papers in my school are really tough, and especially so for computer science- last year's average score was 28/100- how do I explain my low scores and to whom? apart from the standard national results all other marks are from the school itself and most of them aren't numerically appealing. I'd appreciate some advice- thank you.

I forgot to mention- the school is willing to write me any number of recommendation letters I need from whoever I need.

Dude you'll easily get in, but I ned an idea as to where exactly do you want to apply ? Cos as far as uni's are concerned (excl. engineering institutes) the best ones open (or stay open) after the results come out.

yeah, they're totally onboard, Memorial is way better than anything I would get with JEE. I wanted to have a career in AI so comp. sci./comp. engineering. Although I haven't quite decided which one yet.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
