duotiga83 SG

well i was thinking my luck wether this yr or nxt yr......dun have the $$ to go oversea yet, thats why i'm deciding to take sats to pull up my grades.... Neutral

Business admin! Smile

Or at SMU also.

gerrykoh SG

Don't waste your money doing SATS unless u intend to go overseas.
Now NUS, NTU, SMU don't need it.
Your chances of getting in local U with average grades in poly is very slim.
I suggest u work to earn money for part-time studies or get parents to sponsor u to Aust. U.

today went for the smu open house....really wanted to go there but y mom dont want to support me fiancally .......she told me to sign on saf which i dont want in order to get the $$$.......shld i work for a yr n apply or apply for nxt yr intake? i want to take a shot......sounds crazy but i'm aiming for double degree courses in smu.......

Neutral

courses want to take in smu is accountacy , econs or information system management

magnetgal SG

Haha, double degrees are not easy to get in, and also not easy to study leh dude...

duotiga83 SG

now is the query part of what degree to get......all along want accountancy but nfo system managment i can skip a few modules and greatly help me a lot in my diploma

Btw, just to warn those who are interested in taking up Information Systems Management (ISM) in SMU, ive an insider news abt this faculty.

My good friend, a 2nd year ISM student ( 1st batch) told me she really regretted her choice. The profs in the ISM dept are not v experienced in teaching, and worse still, being a new faculty in SMU, their syllabus are subjected to changes, and she says that the profs are stimes pretty unsure of what approach they are taking in this 4 yr course. Many of her profs are v poor teachers, most from overseas, have poor command of the english language, ( but i wld say that isnt UNCOMMON in NUS/NTU too).
Recently, i heard her faculty has to take up a compulsory 2nd major, which she said was probably due to that the faculty thinks the ISM degree may not be marketable and thus need a 2nd major to buck it up...

basically i want to take analyical with some mathathical degree…ask most of them most recommend econs but kinda stuck on choices….not really interested in business management…..

magnetgal SG

wah u want analytical + maths huh?
Makes me think of NTU actuarial science, or computational finance from NUS science, which are not really entirely maths or sci...haha...fun ?

duotiga83 SG

ok....... Rolling Eyes but my grades ain't that great to go to NUS NTU...can try but i'm trying my luck on SMU....is way higher than NUS/NTU......

magnetgal SG

Seriously...may i ask, u r choosing SMU now bcoz it accepts more poly grads than NTU/NUS isit?

Are u really keen on any of the biz, acc, ism , and social sciences that SMU offers?

duotiga83 SG

frankly speaking.....i find NTU accountancy is better than SMU and yes i'm keen on the SMU offers in their management modules......most of the questions i have doubts can be answered during the open house and i almost practically ask all the degree programs not just 1.......

keen wise....below in hierachy order for SMU

accountancy
info management
social science
econs
biz managment

If i arent wrong,u will need a merit to enter NTU or NUS.Of course,there are exceptions.If you got lots of As and Bs and you missed the mark for merit a little and get only a pass,chances are u will still be able to get in.

this is correct. Anyway do NOT believe if you need very good grades to get into NUS or NTU! Very Happy

me onli got A,C,C for As but managed to get into Mech. Engr. in NUS! Shocked

Now, ALWAYS apply and try out, no harm rite? and when you get in, just get a bank, NUS will help you with this, like DBS scholarship rental, they WILL PAY for your school fees, and you ONLY have to pay back like $500 per month AFTER you graduate, INTEREST FREE, untill you FULLY paid back. Smile

LIFE IS NOT AS DIFFICULT AS YOU THINK, JUST DO IT! Mr. Green

you will come back and thank me, trust me! Very Happy

Mr Chumpa Woompa SG

hmmm if you don't mind you can work first... until you're 25, and then apply to the universities as a mature applicant. that, of course, provided you get a proper job and excel at it, because your employment is going to matter alot in your application. Wink

nightzip SG

Chumpa is also correct. Very Happy

i thought scholarships is meant for those with gd grades.....

duotiga83 SG

i'm 22 this yr...ord nxt yr so thats 23........so you are suggesting me work for 1- 2yrs before i start applying? Confused i don't want to apply too late Neutral

Mr Chumpa Woompa SG

it's never too late to start studying... and the experience you'll be getting from work will make you look at your studies from a different... probably better point of view? Smile it could make studying more efficient.

and hmmm.. you've already got your diploma! so many jobs out there you can apply to...

duotiga83 SG

i'm now partly worry about the fiance part (sch fees) as i'm supporting myself if i want to study....... Neutral so logically speaking i shld work first instead of study? Confused

nightzip SG

NOPE!, in NUS anyone who want to apply all can wan, its NOT exactly a scholarship, its like a tuition loan. Very Happy
