Good luck to all A Level Students!

Onelasttime SG

hi,
smu requires BBB/B for business management which I am interested in, but I only got ABC/C, what do you think my chances are? i heard that BBB is equivalent to ABC but am not sure about my h1… does it help that my gp is an A and pw B? I’m not sure if they consider gp and pw since it’s always stated that a C for both is assumed.

Hi! Do I look at IGP or UES to gauge if I can get into a particular course?

UltimaOnline SG

Yes, you stand a chance (not a high chance, but still got chance), because it's the Uni Admission Score they look at.

Both are related, because the IGP is estimated based on the Uni Admission Score cut off. So if you only look at one, look at your UAS.

FireIce SG

seems like SMU 门槛不高

i know some current students there, especially in biz

and i was also wondering how, with their results, can enter SMU

i thought should be UAS is based on IGP not the other way round???

Chicken and Egg. In practice, doesn't matter which is based on which. They're both just approximate gauges, as there are cohort fluctuations for every course in every year. Of course, the trend is that the popular courses keep getting more popular and thus tougher to get into, year on year.

Hey guys! glad to see a few of you did good. Even if you didn't be happy wince what's done is done. I wish all of you a good luck and for you guys to get the job/uni you wanted to go!

LOL if I not wrong engineering course require H2 relevant courses. Anw GP: E PCME(4h2):A， PW:B MtL:A, i hope i can get into NTU chem engineering. Since NTU is less competitive than NUS has a higher chance of getting First class honor too.

Cannot really decide on Aerospace engineering, Chem or NBS

Chihiro123 SG

I'm currently applying for sciences in both ntu and nus. So far, there are 2 particular courses that interest me: NTU CBC (Chemistry and Bio Chem), and NUS Faculty of Science (Probably Majoring in Chem/Bio/Phy i cant decide haha).

Thing is, I've always been thinking that NUS Science is the best, mainly because of the school’s (NUS) reputation. But no I was wrong. After doing some research, I found out that NTU is actually better in terms of chem and bio whereas NUS has a higher ranking for physics.

So now, I don’t know where to go anymore. NTU CBC or NUS FoS?

- NUS is much closer to my home than NTU (5 bus stops for NUS vs ~45 mins for NTU). I can even join my friends who are in hall for breakfast if i go to NUS :P

- As far as i know, those university rankings are based on employability and starting pay (Correct me if im wrong). I personally don’t really bother about post-graduate life though, what matters to me most is to have a fulfilling journey in my final years of study J. I look forward to making new friends and making friends with seniors (I hope they’re nice enough to give me advices on module choices etc). Basically to do things I rarely have the opportunity to, like going on an overseas trip or two.

- Does ntu have courses such as beginner jap or Korean? I’d like to pick up a third language J

- MOST IMPORTANTLY, My interest in science lies largely in Chem, but I do love physics and bio too. No interest in Food Sci Tech, computational science or environ science. Im fine with studying math, though im quite bad at it and i’d avoid it if possible. A course with 100% chem won’t appeal to me at all, I’m looking for a balance between the 3sciences but as far as i know, there’s no such thing :(((( so yup, a bit of physics and bio in my chemistry degree and i’ll be thankful.

- I’d like to know more about the quality lecturers and facilities provided to science students in both ntu and nus too.

Any Suggestions on which school should I enter?

Didn't do very well for A levels but fairly alright~

Physics C

Chem B

Maths C

Gp B

PW B

UAS 73.75

Initially I was targeting Undergraduate medicine in Australia,in which the common grades are ABB/B.However,I failed to achieve it and am now considering postgraduate medicine route or perhaps biomed Phd(yes,Bio was my passion but I chose to take physics instead,quite stupid~)

Should I retake A levels or International UK A levels? I have heard that international UK A levels are easier and also looked through several sample questions to find them rather manageable. However,I need to do this during NS,if not I will rather go for the 7 year postgrad medic route or biomed.

Another cause of concern is my application to biomed overseas/local. I am applying to NTU biological sciences and NUS FS(life sciences)

NTU

Pros:

More relaxed entry requisite,missed by 1.25(1 H1 away)

Mother went for open house and told me my grades are eligible

Cons:

Compulsory 4 years honours programme,I prefer flexibility. e.g. I did well in biomed in 3rd year,I can choose to apply to graduate med. However, NTU is inflexible to allow 3 years programme

NUS

Pros:

Flexiblity(3+1year programme),option to choose whether to do honours.

I know what I want in my mind(don't want to spend first year on covering general sciences)

Cons:

Higher entry requirement,that I am a little far off(2.5-3.75 URP away)

Higher competition required to excel.

Overseas biomedicine>Considering of going abroad to Australia to do my 3 years degree. Heard that it's easier to cope with academics there and the living environment will challenge me to be stronger~

I am eligible for 5-6 good biomedical sciences programme.

My target is at least 2nd upper honours equivalent GPA as that will allow me the opportunity to do a Phd/progress to graduate medicine.(credit average)

mabopoplop SG

is the QET hard? easy to pass for singaporean? Haha. And whats the point of a double degree? and can anyone try for it?

Hi , if you are considering coming to nus, you can still apply for double degree/ double major after your 1st year if you want. Double degree only helps if you want the degree to enhance your whole studying experience or you want to learn more or if they complement. For example , someone studying engineering with double degree in business is helpful because next ime he/ she can start up their own company , and the business aspect would come in handy. However , takin a double major or some extra courses( unrestricted electives outside of your major is also sufficient to have some biz knowledge).

If you have two degrees that dont really complement each other, you can choose either one to venture. So, it also helps to broaden the choices that you have if you are still unsure of which to do.

While double degree helps to broaden your choices , it may be good to specialise in an area or choose things that will complement well. ( if you cantreally multi-task). But if you really have passion in both areas , then by all means go ahead. Usually , if you just want to have more knowledge in one area , but dont want to pursue it as a career , taking a minor or major is more than sufficient. Minor in nus is an extra 6 modules. (which can be done in your 4 years) 2nd major is an extra 12 modules. ( usually might need to extend to 4.5 years if you dont overload) and 2nd degree is about twice of tha t modules.

Have anyone gotten their admission result? I heard some people have been offered by NTU, and NUS

on_echo SG

Are smu results out?

Aussiepizza SG

hello, anyone applying to nus mechanical engineering recieved the offer yet? me not yet. applied for nus mechanical engineering, SUTD EPD, and ntu chem and biomed engineering(first choice). 80 rank points, PCM h1 Econs subject combi. So far offered sutd admission + 1 yr scholarship. i heard some ppl already got offers from nus and ntu. is there a reason for the different offer times? isit bad if i get my offer late? also im in a huge dillema between SUTD and NUS , if i get offered a place there. SUTD seems to have a really fun and hands on curriculum, where i heard nus is mostly lectures and not much of creating stuff for engineering courses (is this really true? ). Is NUS mechanical engineering fun? really need advice here :(

EKZm SG

Hi people, I am in a dilemma in which course should i choose in for my degree study and i would wish they some of you can give me some guidance and advices. Firstly i did not fare well for my A-levels (BCC/U) thus local univeristy isn't accepting me.

I am thinking of studying psychology. I know that many do not quite support this decision of mine but it have always been my interest. I understand that if i do not get a master degreee i cannot really do anything with it. I thinking of SIMglobal's University at Buffalo, psychology and James Cook University psychology. Which is a better choice ? also i am quite interested in MDIS's Biomedical degree course. However my friends told me that MDIS isn't really a good school choice though.

HELPPPPPPP! :(

PrepMyClass SG

The rat race in Singapore is getting from bad to worse. It was not that long ago that students with triple C could still get into a life sciences course in NUS. That seems impossible today, going by the grades that you are getting and being rejected. If students must continually outperform their predecessors in schools year after year, how will the education system look like years to come? Will we be seeing full scorers in exams?

jason11167 SG

i am a malaysian and i am planning to study in singapore( my parent work here) however my cie result is very bad...(three subject all Cs) :( I think i cannt get a single chance to further my studies in public uni.... Can somebody can give some advice or information about the private one??? (interested in chemical engineering).. Degree is the priority... Really appreciate your guys help!!
