My College Timeline




       Okay, so I just thought I would start off by sharing this timeline I kinda of stole off the internet with you guys. I altered it a little bit since I am an international student and I have to take extra tests (like TOEFL).

So there you go, feel free to copy/paste it .. I won't sue you.
**The schedule includes: 2 SATs, 2 ACTs, Subject tests, TOEFL
I, however, decided to not take the SAT and just stick with the ACT since my scores were pretty good.

Important Schedule & Deadlines:
Junior Year of High school: August 2014 - May 2015
  • August 2014: School Starts.
  • October 2014: Prepare for the SAT.

  • Feb- mar: Some acceptance letters may arrive. Notify those schools you have ruled out. Continue applying for appropriate scholarships.
  • April: Keep track of all acceptances, rejections, and waitlists.
  • May - June: AP Exams; Graduate! Congratulations, you made it.
  • July- August: Read all mailings from your college carefully. Often important registration and housing material is sent in the summer. Register for your classes as soon as possible. Classes often fill, and registration is usually on a first-come, first-served basis. If you get your housing assignment, take advantage of the summer to get to know your roommate (email, facebook, the phone, etc). Figure out who will bring what. You don't need two TVs and two microwaves in your tiny room.

☮ Off to college!

Cansbridge Fellowship - reflections and job search

Hello! Wow, it's been a long while since I have written on this blog. I guess a lot went down, and I got very carried away. Over the last months, I have gone through a few waves. Ups and downs. Downs were no different than the ones described in the last blog, but up's... I have got a lot to say. Around August, or September last year, I decided I was going to apply for the Cansbridge Fellowship as a "learning experience." I was 120% sure I wasn't going to get selected due to the fact that I am still a U1. It's not uncommon for them to want to select higher years, which makes sense, since they'd benefit more out of the internship in Asia given the skills that they have. But December rolled around, and after an application and three interviews, I was in. I was IN! I honestly couldn't believe it myself either. I was studying for my last final (Chee 231, which is Statistics) when I got the call from Ross Kelly. I was shocked, and I wanted to cry. I imm

CIMB ASEAN Scholarship - Khmer

Hello, everyone! ជំរាបសួរ។ I know. It has been a long time. However, I am back! As good as ever. In case you've been wondering why I haven't posted in sooo long what I have been up to, let me briefly describe. As you all know, I stopped my last post with a cliff hanger. And most of you are probably wondering-- did she end up getting that CIMB ASEAN Scholarship? I am happy to announce that I did! Here, I will link you to a Phnom Penh Post Interview about it: Besides from that, I might have not mentioned this in previous posts, however, I am currently pursuing a Bachelors of Engineering in Chemical Engineering with a (likely) minor in Finance. I will go into that a little later. During the course of my first year here at McGill, I have been involved with the Chemical Engineering Student Society as the U0 representative. I have also volunteered regularly with Promoting Opportunities for Women in Science and Engineering (conferences, etc). Last but not least, I was recentl

What about my PASSIONS? Here's how I have been trying to maintain them!

What about my PASSIONS? Here's how I have been trying to maintain them... Hello, and welcome back! I know, I know. I have been gone for quite a while now.. and even worse, I haven't even entered the blogs about my conferences I've promised. But here me out.. I've got some real good excuses-- or at least, I think. Hahaha. So here's what I was up to for my 2016 Summer. 1. First of all, I interned in the Risk Management Department for CIMB. I interned for a round a month, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I met a lotttt of really dedicated, lovely people, one of whom I have already started calling "mommy." Hhahah Bong Nita, you're hilarious. Thank you for the entertainment on the boring office days. Other than that, on the serious side, I actually sat down to read and understand a lot of the Group Policy, Credit Policy and Manual, etc. I also did many case studies on the credit loans, home loans, commercial loans. I'd like to think I have a pretty g
