IE Segovia Campus Tour and 4 Student Interviews | IE University Segovia

Imagine saying you take clases in a UNESCO heritage building 😅 that is actually a flex

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

Right? That's what I'm saying! It feels like you're at some ancient ruin in Italy and yet it's actually your freakin university

[@laeum1433]

I am going to take the tour of both campuses on a same day. What method of transportation do you recommend? We are taking advantage that we are going to Madrid for holiday. We need to get to Segovia before 11 and then back to Madrid for the 4 p.m. tour. Any advice will be appreciated

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

So from Madrid to Segovia you can take the "cercanía" train which leaves out of Chamartin station in Madrid. There's a few each day so you can definitely get in before 11 and be back to Madrid by the afternoon. It takes about an hour. You can get to Chamartin from a bunch of metro lines. My one tip is don't book cercanía tickets in advance. We thought we were smart by buying them the day before, and apparently they're only good for same-day use, so just get to the station a little before and use the machines there to get your tickets. If you're on board 10-20 minutes before departure you're totally fine. Once you get into Segovia there are buses that'll take you straight from the train station into town. There are bus stops for IE university and Convento Santa Cruz that'll drop you off right at the door, although we got off at the Acueducto station just to walk up the hill a bit and take in the neighborhood. It's like a 20 minute walk if you do that. I did almost the exact same itinerary. Got into Segovia at like 9 something in the morning, left after lunch, got to Madrid around 4, and spent the rest of the afternoon at the IE Tower.

Is that the name of the line or the station? Here in Germany where I live, there is an app with all the trains, schedules etc. is there an equivalent in Spain? Thank you

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

Chamartin is the station you depart from in Madrid. Cercanias are like a specific kind of intercity train so there are cercanías for a bunch of places, when you buy the tickets you need to type in the destination so you get the correct fare and platform. I didn't really use any local apps, just Google Maps. You can get directions with public transportation there and it tells you exactly what stations and platforms to go to, so that's all I needed.

What is a Satellite campus? I have that doubt

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

Love this question! Satellite campus usually means a secondary campus that belongs to the same university. For example, Purdue has several satellite campuses in Indiana, such as the Fort Wayne campus. A diploma from a satellite campus is still just as valid as one from the main campus, and it's usually easier to get into a satellite campus because there is typically less demand for them. It's also usually possible to enter the satellite campus and transfer to the main one later.

Hi SCORE. How's UC3M for an international student who don't know Spanish?

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

So they have an English business program, but pretty much everything else on campus is going to be in Spanish so you're going to want to learn. English level in Spain overall is okay, but nothing like Germany, NL, Nordic countries. So you'd definitely want to start learning so you can get around and be comfortable

[@shafinrahman2199]

Thanks man@@score-yourcollegecounselor

[@pabloeralp]

what is the minimum average grade required

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

So they generally want above average grades. They like 34-35 in IB in our experience.

do i need to send my sat scores to all universities that I want to apply . I want to apply 9 universities. Plz make video about send sat scores and application process

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

Nice idea! You don't have to send your scores before you see them by the way! You can usually "self-report" the scores in Common App first, then when you apply to the universities they will ask you to send the official scores later on after you've been admitted. Sometimes you still have to send the official ones before your application can be processed, but generally it's okay to self-report and then send the official ones later. But if you want to save on the fee, that's understandable.

The first comment😁👍👏

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

You love to see it

[@LiMjfk]

@@score-yourcollegecounselor I've watched almost all of your free SAT classes. I wanted to thank you for everything🤗 it helped me a lot

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

You're welcome! I'm really glad it's helping, I know it's hard right now with the new format and not having a lot of material to use. I've got more stuff coming for the May SAT so we can do even better on the next one. And let me know when you get results!

[@water8garden]

digital sat scores will release 2 weeks later and they r saying I have to send my scores within 20 march if I want to send without fee of 4 varieties. So, I'm sending my scores without seeing my scores😅😆

[@score-yourcollegecounselor]

And this right here is why I hate College Board.
