I am a 14M and recently received a $2000 grant from a well-known organization in the USA. I provided my SBI bank account details, including the account number, account holder’s name, and the SWIFT code of SBI’s main Mumbai branch (as found online), but the account is not in Mumbai.

They processed the transfer on May 12, but I haven’t received it yet.

If the SWIFT code is incorrect, will the transaction still go through, or will it be rejected and returned? How long should I wait before following up, and what should I ask them to check?

Any help would be appreciated.

I don’t understand why Xavi still hasn’t gotten a top managerial job.

Considering the situation he inherited at Barcelona, financial chaos, an unbalanced squad, pressure from every direction, I honestly think he did a very good job. In just two full seasons, he won La Liga, and the Spanish Super Cup, and also beat Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabéu with an attack led by Aubameyang and Ferran Torres.

Beyond trophies, he also laid a lot of the groundwork that Flick is benefiting from now. Xavi trusted and promoted young players like Yamal, Cubarsí, Fermín and Gavi, and he arguably got the best version of Dembélé in a Barca shirt. Also, with a backline of Koundé, Araújo, Christensen and Balde, Barca kept 26 clean sheets in 38 league games, which was one of the biggest reasons they won La Liga.

Of course he had flaws, especially in Europe and with in-game management at times, but he did an excellent job. Maybe clubs are hesitant because of the messy ending to his tenure, but I still think he deserves a serious project at a big club. Personally, I think he could do wonders at Liverpool with proper backing and a stable structure around him.

I know I’m still a baby, but I attend a highly competitive international school and would really appreciate some guidance on what i should focus on each year of high school to build a strong application?

Hi! I’m a rising freshman preparing for the AP Computer Science A exam in May 2027, and I currently have no prior coding or programming experience. Do you have any good beginner-friendly resources, courses, or study plans that could help me get a 5?

Hi! I’m a rising high school freshman and recently got really interested in philosophy. I’d love to participate in some philosophy essay competitions, especially ones open to high school students. Does anyone know of any good philosophy essay contests that are currently open (or that will open soon)? I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice on where to look. Thanks!

My classmate won a Gold Medal! I'm so happy for him :) Although, I'm curious do AOs know about this?

Hi! I'm a rising high school freshman who's really passionate about math. For context on my background: I've completed AP Calculus BC and spent a good amount of time studying number theory under a Stanford professor. I've also worked through "A Friendly Introduction to Number Theory" by Silverman, so I feel fairly comfortable with the fundamentals.

I recently reached out to my Stanford professor about doing actual math research, and she agreed to mentor me! She asked me to go through the book "Unsolved Problems in Number Theory" by Richard K. Guy and get a feel for the landscape before we decide on a direction together.

I've been reading through the book and there's obviously a huge range of problems, from things that feel completely out of reach (Goldbach, twin primes) to others that seem more tractable for someone at my level. What problems from Guy's book do you think are genuinely accessible for someone with my background, where a high schooler could make meaningful contributions which can help me win awards at competitions like ISEF?

Hi! I’m an international student planning to take the following AP exams in May 2027:

1. AP Calculus BC
2. AP Physics C: Mechanics
3. AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism
4. AP Chemistry
5. AP Statistics
6. AP Computer Science A
7. AP Computer Science Principles
8. AP Psychology

I wanted to ask how difficult it would realistically be to score 5s in most (if not all) of them. For context, I’m a rising freshmen and study at Stanford OHS and took Linear Algebra & Multivariable Calculus in Grade 8. I also took AP Calc AB in Grade 7 and got a 5.
