[@chandachalwe]

Do you know if Universities in South Africa accept international students?I really want to come study there but I’m hearing international students can’t come study medicine there

[@keodt2746]

It was so refreshing hearing someone talk about rejection thank you

[@TamandaXO]

We have to talk about the bad side of things as well 🥰

How many distinctions did you get?? Im in ! matric planning to study medicine next year ,,,and I just hope Stellenbosch will accept me as I wish to be accepted there

[@TamandaXO]

I made a video where I opened my final results on camera so I mentioned it there🥰 Please keep in mind, I didn't do NSC or IEB so it's slightly different. Continue working hard and I'm sure I'll see you here at SU in no time❤️

[@Nandi.silondiwe]

Hey tamanda, I've applied for medicine at stellenbosch and I was wondering how your SJ test was like

[@TamandaXO]

That test was only introduced in 2021 so I have no experience with it. I never wrote it. All the best with your application though! 🥺💜

[@Nandi.silondiwe]

@@TamandaXO oh okay, thank you💗

[@KamogeloMaponya]

Yaaaay👏👏👏

[@Blue686t]

Congratulations🙌 and thank you for the video, it was very useful. I just wanted to ask, how do you get your grade 11 or 12 results certified and do you know what would would happen if you submit uncertified results and how to fix that ?

[@TamandaXO]

Thank you for taking the time out to watch my video❤️ As for getting your results certified, you can go to the police station and tell them you want to certify your documents. You should take the original certificate and copies of the ceritificate. They will certify the copies xx I don't know how strict the universities are about certified documents but I'd rather play it safe and submit certified documents only.

[@Blue686t]

[@nathipako9013]

Not you smiling when telling us UFS rejected you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 that " annnndddd " had me hoping for some good news 😭🤣

[@TamandaXO]

tbh, i didn't care about the rejection anymore so that's why i was laughing about it 😹😹😹

[@azraawilliams7222]

Hi loved ur video. Did you apply to uni in grade 11 ? Since u said you thought u would know what uni u were going to before "the matric kids" ??

[@TamandaXO]

Thank you for watching 🥰 I applied in my final year of highschool but I got my results in early Jan whereas the other matric students who did NSC got theirs in Feb.

[@nolwazi_gumbi]

Hey Tamanda, is it true that for medicine, STELLENBOSCH no longer requires NBTs.

[@thelearningjourney6642]

Im not sure about that but I Know UP doesn't require NBTs for 2024 for medicine. But it has to be your first choice

[@kagomatshameko3549]

Hey there congratulations on your application..I wanted to ask that after doing your Alevels and your now applying...which results do they take both your matric results and Alevels results? And also even if you did Alevels are you still going to start all the way from first year or you going to do direct entry into second year... thanks

[@TamandaXO]

I'm really not sure which ones they consider but I think they'll look at the A Levels since it's your most recent results. Yes, you start all the way from first year. You can't skip to another year. Hope that helps 🥰

[@kagomatshameko3549]

@@TamandaXO thank you😊

[@nosiphomalaka1280]

Did you write the SJT and what is it actually about.Please help me.Im writing soon

[@TamandaXO]

The SJT didn't exist in 2020 when I was applying so I have no idea what it is and how to prepare for it, I'm sorry xx. I wish you all the best though 🥺🤍🌸

[@Maz-w2s]

Hi did you write the SJT test at stellies

[@TamandaXO]

Hey! I didn't write the SJT test as it wasn't a thing before 2021 applications. Sorry I can't help 💜

[@Nandi.silondiwe]

What happens if you don't get conditionally accepted 😥 or the uni keeps quiet

[@TamandaXO]

Sorry for the long reply! ❤️ My advice is to be patient and wait for all the unis to reply. They usually wait for the final Matric results to come out (in Jan/Feb) so you have to be really patient. If you don't get a response by then, I recommend calling/emailing to find out 🥺 All the best!

[@Evii0330]

I am a subscriber just cause of this video 💯🖤🤣

[@TamandaXO]

Awww, thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. 🥺💜

[@T_M93]

Hie, may I please ask I wrote Cambridge international last year I'm intending on applying for medicine , I am from one of the countries in Sadc, Hoping to apply to WITS, UCT, Stellenbosch university. Do I need to take the NBTs

[@nomthandazo_vilakazi]

Hi. What BSc can I apply to that will lead to Medicine at Stellenbosch?

[@TamandaXO]

I think you can apply with any BSc programme. I know a lot of students who didn't even do a BSc degree but they're doing medicine at Stellies now so they are not too strict about degrees (from what I've seen) ❤️

[@sizakhambule7886]

I got rejections left and right 😢✌🏿

[@TamandaXO]

I'm so sorry to hear that🥺 I know there are many other ways to get into medicine. Please don't give up until one day you get your very own acceptance letter! 🥺💜

[@sizakhambule7886]

What is Cambridge?🥺

[@TamandaXO]

I don't know how best to explain it lol. It's basically an internation school leaving curriculum. 💕

[@subhajay3156]

hi, how much percentage is a A* and a A+

[@TamandaXO]

A* is anything above 90%. A is anything between 80 - 89%.

[@mkhulekodlamini9340]

Is it possible to inbox you, I've got some questions

[@TamandaXO]

I try my best to answer my IG inbox but I get really busy sometimes! If you still need help, you can message me on IG @tamanda.xo ❤️

[@realekoma5358]

We should meet up some time 😭

[@TamandaXO]

Hit me up and we can discuss it😭💕

[@katlegomasotla7735]

What did you get for your grade 11 physics and maths ?

[@TamandaXO]

Im going to make a video soon discussing my grades. I did not do a SA qualification (IEB/NSC) so my marks won't make sense to you 💜

[@duduetsangcynthia2431]

So you applied in grade 12

[@TamandaXO]

Yes, I did. Sorry for the late reply ❤️

[@Andrea-ox9iz]

Do you mind sharing your grade 11 results?

[@TamandaXO]

Hey love 💜 I think I'll create a video discussing this since a lot of people have asked me about my grades. All I can tell you right not is that I did not do a South African qualification so my marks won't make sense to you if you're doing NSC/IEB.

[@nkuliziyanda8185]

Did you write NBT?

[@TamandaXO]

I didn't write the NBTs last year. It wasn't compulsory anymore because of covid & lockdown regulations.

[@katlegomasotla7735]

When you applied did you get provincially accepted? Did your grade 11 marks meet the minimum requirements? Please answer ..I am in matric I need help 😪

[@TamandaXO]

I'm so sorry I took so long to respond. My grade 11 marks did meet the requirements and I only got provisional acceptance at Stellenbosch. Hang in there. You'll get through matric❤️
