Too lousy for NUS

hello. i just got an offer from ntu. they offered me engineering.actually i was already quite decided on taking engineering since after results. but theres a...

hello. i got ACC for my h2s. i applied to both nus and ntu’s common engineering. it has the lowest requirements for engineering. besides, i dont know which engineering discipline i want to specialise in yet.

i think i should be able to get a place in NTU. as for NUS, im not confident at all. but i do prefer NUS over NTU.

nursing was my third choice for NUS and i got called for an interview. ok, im disappointed because i havent heard from ntu yet. and i dont know if i still stand a chance to get into NUS engineering. my question is, does NUS offer only one course to a student? or do the different faculties offer places to students, then the students pick which they want to reject and accept. (but that kinda defits the purpose of ranking your course choice right?)

and regarding appealing, if i really want to try it, when do i do it??

thanksthanksthanks for any answers and advice.

haiiii, troubled.

dkcx SG

Each uni will only offer you 1 choice.

Regarding appeals, go check the uni websites.

jaydunkfull SG

oh shoot.

it means ACC isnt good enough for even common engineering and FASS?? thats damn sad. cos if i didnt even put nursing, i wouldnt have gotten into nus at all?? cos after my third choice, theres nothing else.

dkcx SG

Uni posting results are sent out in waves, until the day you get the rejection letter, don't give up hope. U male or female?

Rednano SG

oh shoot.

u choose nursing due to grades and just for the sake of a place in a local uni and not for the interest?

then maybe maybe drop out in the 1st or 2nd year...

jaydunkfull SG

im damn depressed now. so my only hope to do engineering is at NTU, i guess. although i do prefer NUS. they do send rejection letters?? i thought it means you dont get in as long as there are no letters.

but according to what you say, it means theres no chance that NUS engineering will offer me a place too.

im female by the way.

i chose nursing due to grades and mild interest. that is only if i totally cant get into engineering at nus and ntu at all.

they will send u a letter via post regardless of success/ reject as an official correspondence to u.

dun worry TS, ACC is actually quite good results!

I think you have at least 90% chance of getting into common engineering

cheer up

I'm not too sure but if I did remember based on last yr's grade profile... most of e courses cut off hardly had any C

candiz SG

I said that becos I have a fren with BCC who got into NUS mechanical engineering.

of course for chem engine it'll be unlikely, but for common engine ACC should be no prob

NUS's admission criteria (looking at the 10th percentile) seems to be on the high side

it's ok if you can't go NUS, NTU not bad too

jaydunkfull SG

i thought so too, but since im offered nursing, guess not.. haii. have to wait for NTU.

ntu very fun. got this handsome boy.. i think his nick in sgforums is.... sinicker.

dkcx SG

Quite rare that females like engineering.

Anyway just wait for letter from NTU. Rejected or accepted they will give u a letter. As long as you have not got a rejection letter it means they are still putting you on hold and you have a chance to get in on a later wave.

how come never consider the NIE teacher one?
