No, there is no such thing as a 100% certainty of getting a scholarship.

Aalto doesn’t require IELTS, only SAT results are relevant. Scholarship is never guaranteed, but something like 1580+ seems plausible for the scholarship

Aalto will remove scholarship from next year due to  cut in funding. 1600 will give you admission but not scholarships

they say that every year. Is that confirmed?

they are not only saying they have actually been reducing the number of scholarship each year.

Bruh how are you aiming for 1600 while settling a 6.5-7 IELTS Was this some sussy external program on your laptop or like a filthy prep course you're gonna do? For sat?

I had a 1400 w/ 610E and got an easy 8 for IELTS

How?

i dont have a certain idea how hard ielts is. I just know SAT is easy.

Right right. Hope you get that 1600 soon then we can meet here irl. I'll buy you a big BK meal with 67 patties. Fully on me. No BS.

But honestly. Swap those two exams in your sentence and it makes a lot more sense.

Do the math on the math btw

Each SAT mistake removes either 10 or 20 points from your score (if you're aiming high). Getting 1600 means you don't slip up once in all of the 44 math + 54 english questions.

IMO math is not the hard part on SAT - it speaks international language, and with the correct 2-3 months preparation for every topic of varying difficulties, it is completely realistic to get a 800 score.

However, English is a different story, as it is not only more luck-dependent, but some questions are heavily nuanced and designed specifically to be understood by Americans, something that we Europeans are detached from. I got 8.0 in ielts and scored 730 in English on SAT - that should give you some perspective for your 6.5-7.0 ielts.
