An IB and AP Chemistry Student's Cambridge Acceptance: Predicted IB 45 and Eleven AP Scores of 5

Let me tell you about a student who studied IB and AP Chemistry with me and was accepted to the University of Cambridge.

This is a student I worked with for three years.

Student:

“Hello, teacher!

You heard about the Oxford acceptance around the time of our last lesson, right?

Cambridge released its decisions yesterday!

I got into Cambridge, haha! 😆”

“Both my friend and I are going to the UK now.”

JjangJi:

“Hahaha.

Wow, both of you are incredible.”

Student:

“Haha, it's thanks to you.”

“That's such

good news.

Really, haha.

Well done! I didn't help all that much, but

congratulations!”

Student:

“Thank you! 🙂”

JjangJi:

“By the way,

what subject are you going to study?”

“Engineering!”

“What's the score condition?”

“The condition is 42.

I think Cambridge Engineering has the same condition of 42 for everyone.”

“Come back for lessons with your friend once in a while, hahaha. That would be a fun class.”

“Yes, hahaha.”

“We need to prepare for the finals!”

“Wow, why is the condition so high?”

Student:

“Hahahaha.

The condition is high,

but compared with applying to Korean universities, 42 is a relief, haha.”

“If you're applying to Korea, the pressure to do well in the finals is huge.”

JjangJi:

“That's crazy. You still have to work really hard for a 42.”

“Hahaha, come on.

But yes, I won't get complacent. I'll prepare properly.

Anyway, thank you so, so much!”

“Yes, yes! Excellent!”

Let's look at these students' profiles. I'm not sure how useful the comparison is, but here they are.

A predicted IB total of 45, plus 5s in 11 AP subjects. That's incredibly high, isn't it?

I'll share more university results as I receive further details. Thank you. A little bow from me!
