AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a graduate who completed a challenging International Baccalaureate (IB) program but is struggling to gain admission to top universities due to a high entry requirement of 38 points. The individual aimed for the London School of Economics (LSE) to study Math and Finance but is now seeking alternative universities that value their IB qualifications. They emphasize the need for institutions that offer strong programs in Math and Finance or Economics. Clarification is provided regarding LSE's admission criteria, which require a score of 7 in Higher Level Math and two other HL subjects with a score of 6.

I have a problem. I graduated with very hard combination from IB: natural sciences (except biology) all HLs, Economics HL, HL Math and two languages SL. In practise, I did 5 HLs but IBO allowed only 4. Yet, I cannot get to the best universities as the border is 38, despite my extra HL.

My plan was to study Math and Finance in LSE. Now, it seems I cannot. I desperately need recommendations of universities that appreciate my IB certificate. They can be anywhere, but they must the best ones. I need new challenges! Is there any other excellent university in finance and math than LSE in UK?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! You made me realize that I actually satisfy the minimum requirements. Where can I find other degrees in "Math & Finance/Economics"? I still wonder whether I can get to degrees with minimum requirements 38 points.

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
