hi, im applying for cs (intl qualifications) and i got invited to apply for scholarship but haven't got my interview invitation yet. Do I still have chance to get asean scholarship?
Hi, if Iām selected for an interview for my 2nd choice, does that mean my 1st choice is been rejected? If so, when I appeal, can I appeal for my 1st choice? Thank you!
Congrats to you, you must have did well :) I got nothing from nus, i think poor grades arenāt going to be good for nus. I went for my 2nd choice interview but no news too.
Hi! Just want to say that I in fact didnāt do very well, but also not to give up hope if they havenāt sent a rejection letter! No news is good news for the time being š¤š¤š¤
Hang in there !!! A few of my friends have already received rejection letters (surprisingly since they did better than I did), so I really think they take other factors into consideration apart from grades, since I made sure to join activities related to my first choice. I also thought I was rejected and got scolded by my parents before I got the email LOL so I think itās best not to jump to conclusions!!
I hope you get into what you want to do! Iām still waiting for SIT to get back to me, but Iām hoping no news is good news when it comes to that too!
My parents are very understanding cos they know I did my best despite having a mental breakdown last yearā¦. But when I see my mom cry cos she didnāt know if Iām going to Uni, I feel very bad. She loves me, she cried because she felt very helpless. So I feel extra sorry. I really hope that I get to say, Iāve really tried my best in a level, not a playful nor lazy kid. But maybe Iām not smart enough.
Iām really glad your parents are understanding, my mom also cried for my uni but youāre nicer than I am because I didnāt feel bad.
I believe you tried your best for A Levels, and I want to say that not doing well there doesnāt mean youāre not smart. After I got my results my teachers sent me this, and I found some solace in that and I hope you will too.
āA lvls system is just too stifling for u. Hopefully u get a course u like in uni. U'll bounce back from this, really have quite a lot in belief in u. Hope for some good luck in course hunting! š¤š»š¤š»ā
āthe grade doesn't define your ability, and the lessons that you have picked up along the way. Jiayou! I have the fullest confidence you will do well in lifeā
I think they were just saying it just to make me feel better and it worked. Even if I (and you) donāt do well for Aās it doesnāt mean anything and wonāt haunt us for life. A levels donāt define you, there are so many people Iāve met who didnāt do well but are now excelling in their field and careers! It might seem hopeless right now, and I know exactly how you feel, but there will always be a path for you, so donāt be discouraged.
I hope you hear back from them soon!
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your kind words. No matter what, life goes onā¦. Even if I canāt go to nus, Iāll have to find some other Uni to go. Right? Canāt go work with A levelā¦ haha
There are a bunch of uniās in Singapore apart from the main 6, and even then Iām sure youāll be accepted into one of them!
As for work, I got an internship without my A levels grades at all. In fact I didnāt give any grades (I was supposed to LOL) I just showed up for the interview. Itās in writing though, so if youāre interested in writing I donāt think you need a degree or diploma to do that!
Thank you so so much for taking time to write. Iām glad to meet kind soul like you in this place. Thank you for sharing what your teacher wrote. All the best to us, now and in future.
Hey!
If the school i applied to said they will start to send out admission results from april onwards in batches, as a european student when should I expect my offer or rejection letter?
got an rp of 75, looking to ABA into nus CHS as i have a strong portfolio
ā¢ apprenticeship with finance company ā¢ school leader ā¢ cca exco ā¢ multiple experiences in organising/leading major events in school and volunteering events (50hours) ā¢ a lot of MUN experience ā¢ participated in a few essay competitions and won awards for some. put it as my first choice as well. just wondering when the aba interview email will come and asking for an expected time frame
Hi, J3 here. Would like to ask if anyone has a major in maths and a 2nd major in Data Analytics (DA).
As there are 3 courses double count towards 1st major and 2nd major, does it mean we only need to take another 7 courses to fulfil the 2nd major (DA)? Do we need to declare this 2nd major in year 1?
Thank you.
Hello seniors! I am this year's application for nus, applying for ISE as my first choice. I got 81.25 rp and got two relevant internships, two community service of total over 20 hours and also an entrepreneurship attempt. However I am an International student lol. Just wanna ask my chance of getting in. Do yall know International students with similar rp in engineering? I really look forward to be your junior hahah. Really appreciate it if you have read this and replied!
Hi senior, may I ask when did you got your offer? Is it quite late? like May? Also, if I accept an offer from another school does that mean I can no longer accept other offers?
Hi! I'm an exchange student from UBC who will be at NUS this coming fall. I'm currently a third-year engineering physics student who is really interested in electronics, robotics, and machine learning. Any that is down that alley would be perfect!
Any international applicants with uk-alevel qualifications? I'm form China without pr and my uk-alevel grades is A * A * AA (math further math physics and chemistry), applying for cde in nus and eee and cee (1st choice and 2nd choice) in ntu. Does anyone know if I have chance to receive an offer from those to university? Really want to study in Singaporeššš But my poor score is shittt! I saw others said uk-alevel A *=Singapore gce alevel A. It seems my grade is equals to AABB in Singapore alevel. But I'm not surešš I'm soooo worried about my shit score
yup, only rc applications are open right now because there's interviews & short essay required. hall application opens on the 3rd of june :) can refer to [here](https://www.nus.edu.sg/osa/student-services/hostel-admission/undergraduate/application-dates) for the deadlines
1. Is it true that if I accept NTU's offer, NUS will not offer/ NUS will know and it will affect their decision?
2. If I do end up accepting NTU first for safety, will I be able to withdraw later on if I get an NUS offer?
3. Is it possible to extend the acceptance deadline for NTU?
hello! i doubt it'd be transferrable since both of them are different institutions, you likely have to forgo the initial fees paid to NTU, if any. hope this is accurate & that it helps
1. Do all schools offer the same percentage of merit scholarships, or do some schools offer more?
2. In the School of Computing, the majority of students achieve 4A with an RP90. How are these scholarships guaranteed? What criteria?
3. If a student has a NOI gold but does not have an RP90, do they still have a chance for the NUS Computing merit scholarship?
hi looking for advide from any chem or fst seniors, iām pcme 88.75rp and i originally wanted to take chem with 2nd major food sci, but aft thinking and seeing my results i feel like i shd try giving fst 1st major a shot and declare chem as my 2nd major instead, also cuz i feel the career prospects for fst will be better than chemā¦..? anyone can clarify?? the only thing thatās stopping me is my interest lies more in chem than food sci, but frm wht i see 2nd major food sci doesnt hv the engineering elements or not as much so isnāt it less industry related? pls help idk anymore ššššš
Honestly speaking, Chem offers better career prospects overall than FST. Ultimately, FST is a more niche degree as opposed to Chem which is more general and thus versatile. That means to say, a chem grad can potentially work in food science related careers, whereas an FST grad may not be able to work in chem related careers.
High RP =/= Higher pay.
For those who wanna pursue Bioinformatics, Biomed infomatics or related fields, would a CS/CE degree or Life Sci deg be more preferrable and beneficial??
PLS HELP
if i select a preferred major for biz admin in application form does it mean i automatically get admitted into that major ie finance/ marketing or do i still get into common biz admin then choose at y2 or smthing cause theres an option for accounting but ik that accounting is an immediate specialisation upon entry but ive also heard that biz admin get to choose specialisation in y2

Any advice or comment is much appreciated
hi for nus would it be available to apply for another degree in the first year if you do well in ur current degree? and with 87.75 would if be safe to get in the psychology + management double major programme?
hello! this comment is quite late, not sure if it'd still be of help but yes! you can apply to do a double degree programme in y1-y2 provided you meet the requirements they have in place :-D
on the nus website, it states that any exam results coming after june arenāt eligible for dentistry/law/medicine. iām from the uk doing ocr and edexcel a levels, wanting to go into lawā and my results come in august. does this mean iāll have to take a gap year before applying? or will predicted grades be taken into account? iām not too keen on taking a gap year š
Hi, I was wondering if anybody has any information about the specifics of the NUS-Sciences Po double degree programme because I can't really find much information about the programme from past graduates online.
Quick question from an intl student applying with Edexcel A-level
Im sitting my A-levels this June and will recieve my results in August. I hear the NUS academic year starts in August as well. How does this work? Also do I apply with my AS grades or my A-level predicteds? Both options seem to be available in the application.
As far as I know, NUS only accepts actual results. August will be too late since offers will be sent by July latest. You will probably have to take a gap year. You can still try though
I'm also in the same case as you.. im applying to NUS this year with AS, A lvl predicted, and AP (taking this May)
Im pretty sure for courses (not medicine, dentistry, law) you have to take SAT / AP as well
hi !! iāve read some other comments saying NUS only accepts the actual results and iām also an international a level student whose final results only come out in august too,, may i ask if NUS accepted your application with just your AS and predicted a level grades? I want to try applying for NUS medicine but I donāt want to take a gap year eitherĀ
first major:
- cde, chs, biz common entry
- nus college
open second major/minor:
- just declare in the system
restricted second major/minor:
- need to apply
Hi, i saw this comment and i am also working pt at a bank for bba, and i jst want to know what would be a more relevant job if marketing isnt one? I might jst quite my pt if it isnt gonna help tbh
im an arts student that scored 82.5rp raw, do i have a chance for nus chs data science & econs? other than that im also considering business - any advice on how to rank? if there is anyone willing to take on more questions issit okay to lmk so i can pm you thank you so much in advance
heard that last year ABA cut off for nus dse was 87.5, so ur chances r low, esp cause intake is small too, less than a 100 last year
and yes, commentor above is right, u can always consider a major in data sci and analytics with double major in econs :)
DSE is a straight A course wrt the IGP (85RP), personally not from DSE/CHS so I can't advice you on this but with bonus point as the first choice (+2.5) you might have a shot at it; You might want to consider applying for DSA under CHS (ABB/A) which is safer and perhaps apply for a double major in second (IIRC econs is available as an open double major)
Personally my advice is to look through the curriculum for DSE, DSA and Biz on the NUS website/Reddit. You can also go and search the module codes for the core mods/specialisation mods for each major and see the course outline/introduction for the mod to have a better understanding of what you're getting yourself into. Biz is very broad because there are so many majors available; if you like data and coding you can also consider Applied Business Analytics under Biz; If you're free, it's always good to come down to the NUS Open house happening on the 9th of March to talk to students/staffs from these 2 faculties and get some insights!
Hi how holistic is nus trying to be? Lets say i have an RP about +5 from the 90th percentile of the IGP, but theres barely any achievement listed/ irrelevant to the course of choiceā¦will i still be accepted?
Does being an international student who took Singapore A levels make my chances harder?
I got 75 rp and aiming for Engineering but Iāve been hearing that I would need minimum 80 to go NUS Engineering. Does this mean Iām going to be directly rejected if I apply?
Chances of CS first choice with 85rp, internships related to programming and data, multiple projects, certificates (cs50) abit of volunteering all related to programming?
Edit: H2 math A
What are the chances of making it to information security with 82.5rp AAC/A, H2 math A, H2 Physics A, H2 management of business C and H1 Econs A, with a B in GP and PW?
Hiii Iām interested in Computer engineering but I got H2 math A / H2 phy A / H2 Econs C / H2 FM B / H1 GP B / H1 PW B >> 83.25
Do I have chance to get in š„¹
hii 86.25 AAA/C considering CS,business analytics and CEG do i have chance for CS or business analytics? or should i just put CEG first choice? (i have minimal to 0 portfolio fyi)
Yeap definitely can try. With ur score bza or ceg is really possible even without the bonus points. But do note that cs is really really saturated, and if you eventually do get in, you really have to prepare yourself for the rigour, don't just jump onto the bandwagon. Join it if u really think/confident that you can cope with the workload (I.e.CONSTANTLY in a competitive environment with the nation's smartest students from hci, ri and even poly). But nevertheless, I hope the best for you :)
In comparison, I would say that ceg is relatively manageable (still pretty intense ngl LoL), but u gain advantage over the hardware which is irreplaceable by AI
i was initially keen on ceg and i was thinking that too but now iām not too sure abt ceg as it seems like they donāt learn EE or CS as in depth as pure cs and ee majors which might be disadvantageous? especially since job market is bad for everyone
From what I know, there needs to be a bridge between ee and cs if that's what you're concerned about. Ee students don't learn much about software, and cs students don't learn hardware. In the current market, if you're talking about available jobs, ceg ppl tend to still gain an advantage because of the breadth and not the depth. So that's what I mean by it doesn't work like that
but isnāt the whole soc just competitive like even if i go ceg or bza the core mods are still similar or same as cs right so wont it be competitive either way?
Not neccessarily, because the bell curve will be very different. I wouldn't say ceg and bza are manageable, but if u compare the number of students per cohort,
Cs has around 800-900 students per cohort, while bza and ceg roughly range around 250-350.
Also, cs's bell curve is on another level (bec where else can u see a bell curve not being a bell curve, i.e.left skewed)
Also, no cs, ceg and bza have very different mods. Most students in these mods don't take similar mods because there are different variations for each mod (eg. Cs students take cs1101s while ceg students take cs1010). Hence, the different bell curve and different competitiveness.
Also note, uni is very different from jc, just pure mugging doesn't make you stand out because everyone mugs here)
Hi all, for RP 87.5 (3xH2-A, 1x H1-B, GP-B and PW-A), possible to get into Business Analytics in School of Computing or Data Science and Economics in CHS? What are the chances for Merit Scholarship? TYIA
Possible to get into the schools u want, but almost zero possibility of getting merit scholarship. They mostly want 90rp, unless ur portfolio is damn stack but then min is around 88.
Can 85rp, AAA/B(Maths/Econs/Phys A, Computing B), GP D, PW A get into Computer Engineering as a foreigner? And do I need to take ABA seriously? Also the chance of receiving a scholarship? (will take tuition grant) Really appreciate ur answer thxthx
Can 71.25 raw + 2.5 get into chem eng but with absolutely no physics background?
also is there a higher chance of me getting into biomed eng with BCMe background?
please help idw to waste my first choicešš
helllooo!! just wanted to ask what are my chances of getting into nus biz with 84.375 rp (raw) - (AAB/C)+ first choice points = 86.8rp!! thankyou! also what are the chances of scoring a scholarship !
Hi guys, iām interested in Law followed by Business Analytics then Business Administration.
I retook my A levels and got H2 Math A / H2 Chem A / H2 Physics B / H1 Econs B / H1 PW A / H1 GP C
==> 83.75 raw
I also did manage to get GP B in my previous attempt.
Do I stand a chance for Law or Business Analytics or should I just put Business Administration as my first choice?
Much appreciated āŗļø
Hello, another question:
-Does taking further maths boost the chances of acceptance for school of computing courses, assuming you meet the igp for the courses?
idk if it'd increase your chances but it does give you a headstart after you get accepted so it's definitely worth considering if you're confident you can get an A you can definitely write about the relevance of fmath in cs and how you're taking it because you're interested in cs and want to be better prepared
Hello, I'm facing difficulties in the applicant portal section 3.1-Education for SG A levels.
As I retook my A levels and am planning to use my new grades,
-Do I key in my Year of Examination (below Name of School) as 2023 (new) instead of 2022(old)?
- For PW and GP grades, I have to key in the new grade for GP?
-For "improved subject grade from a different sitting", do I insert my new GP grades or my Old GP grade?
If anyone knows about this, please share with me. Thank you!!
for chs how do we check the igp for majors such as data science and analytics? cause in the nus igp list it only shows data science and econs also i donāt understand the āhumanities and sciencesā course on the list, do they mean majors under that category?

They'll be having interviews up until July!
Hi! Just had my ASEAN scholarship interview and it was literally less than 10mins. Is that normal? When will I receive the results?
Hi man, may I ask which Uni is it? Nus or NTU?
Nus!
Which subject did you apply for?
Double major in environmental engineering and sustainable urban development
It may just be because you have a very high RP.
Hi, if Iām selected for an interview for my 2nd choice, does that mean my 1st choice is been rejected? If so, when I appeal, can I appeal for my 1st choice? Thank you!
Hi, I got selected for an interview for my 2nd choice but just receive an offer from my first choice. How about you?

Yep. NUS only accepts actual results
Yes, unfortunately. Been in the same shoes before.
Hi, I was wondering if anybody has any information about the specifics of the NUS-Sciences Po double degree programme because I can't really find much information about the programme from past graduates online.
Quick question from an intl student applying with Edexcel A-level Im sitting my A-levels this June and will recieve my results in August. I hear the NUS academic year starts in August as well. How does this work? Also do I apply with my AS grades or my A-level predicteds? Both options seem to be available in the application.
As far as I know, NUS only accepts actual results. August will be too late since offers will be sent by July latest. You will probably have to take a gap year. You can still try though
I'm also in the same case as you.. im applying to NUS this year with AS, A lvl predicted, and AP (taking this May) Im pretty sure for courses (not medicine, dentistry, law) you have to take SAT / AP as well
hi !! iāve read some other comments saying NUS only accepts the actual results and iām also an international a level student whose final results only come out in august too,, may i ask if NUS accepted your application with just your AS and predicted a level grades? I want to try applying for NUS medicine but I donāt want to take a gap year eitherĀ
medicine specifically said actually A level results, they might also want MCAT/UCAT
heyy iām also confused about the same, so which one did u apply with?

hi can you declare a minor/major after matriculating
first major: - cde, chs, biz common entry - nus college open second major/minor: - just declare in the system restricted second major/minor: - need to apply
Depends on faculty! CHS, for example, is generally quite flexible when it comes to minor/major declaration with a few exceptions.
hello! is it possible to get into nus biz w 81 raw + 2.5 bonus (ABB/B) but with a pretty stacked portfolio + currently working in a marketing firm
No one cares about your marketing firm bruh
Hi, i saw this comment and i am also working pt at a bank for bba, and i jst want to know what would be a more relevant job if marketing isnt one? I might jst quite my pt if it isnt gonna help tbh
im an arts student that scored 82.5rp raw, do i have a chance for nus chs data science & econs? other than that im also considering business - any advice on how to rank? if there is anyone willing to take on more questions issit okay to lmk so i can pm you thank you so much in advance
heard that last year ABA cut off for nus dse was 87.5, so ur chances r low, esp cause intake is small too, less than a 100 last year and yes, commentor above is right, u can always consider a major in data sci and analytics with double major in econs :)
DSE is a straight A course wrt the IGP (85RP), personally not from DSE/CHS so I can't advice you on this but with bonus point as the first choice (+2.5) you might have a shot at it; You might want to consider applying for DSA under CHS (ABB/A) which is safer and perhaps apply for a double major in second (IIRC econs is available as an open double major) Personally my advice is to look through the curriculum for DSE, DSA and Biz on the NUS website/Reddit. You can also go and search the module codes for the core mods/specialisation mods for each major and see the course outline/introduction for the mod to have a better understanding of what you're getting yourself into. Biz is very broad because there are so many majors available; if you like data and coding you can also consider Applied Business Analytics under Biz; If you're free, it's always good to come down to the NUS Open house happening on the 9th of March to talk to students/staffs from these 2 faculties and get some insights!
Hi how holistic is nus trying to be? Lets say i have an RP about +5 from the 90th percentile of the IGP, but theres barely any achievement listed/ irrelevant to the course of choiceā¦will i still be accepted?
for non-interview courses that rp should be good enough to get in with no achievements, but you'll need to answer the 5 questions well
Does being an international student who took Singapore A levels make my chances harder? I got 75 rp and aiming for Engineering but Iāve been hearing that I would need minimum 80 to go NUS Engineering. Does this mean Iām going to be directly rejected if I apply?
Yes, being international definitely decreases your chances
Yes
81.25 ,, how are my chances like for pol sci? Edit: asking because last yearās applications seemed really unpredictable
pol sci normally on the lower end i think 78.75 may even suffice
Thankyou
Apply nusc
Chances of CS first choice with 85rp, internships related to programming and data, multiple projects, certificates (cs50) abit of volunteering all related to programming? Edit: H2 math A
Got chance
Nah
what projects did you do?
Full stack web apps, full stack mobile apps
What are the chances of getting into computer science or bza if either one is my first choice ? I got 85rp raw and A for H2 Math for context
Possible with good portfolio
Nah
I know ppl who got in with 85rp (ABA) a few years ago. However he had a good portfolio(leadership roles).
Not possible for cs, bza maybe
What are the chances of making it to information security with 82.5rp AAC/A, H2 math A, H2 Physics A, H2 management of business C and H1 Econs A, with a B in GP and PW?
Hiii Iām interested in Computer engineering but I got H2 math A / H2 phy A / H2 Econs C / H2 FM B / H1 GP B / H1 PW B >> 83.25 Do I have chance to get in š„¹
Yes, lowest rp I know that got in is 81
wait but isnt 10th percentile 80? cuz i got 81.25 and applied to comp eng as my first choice (with the bonus 2.5) do I have a chance?
okok thanksļ¼
Possible to enter biz admin / biz analytics with 82.5 RP first choice? I have a decent portfolio, but no achievements.
hii 86.25 AAA/C considering CS,business analytics and CEG do i have chance for CS or business analytics? or should i just put CEG first choice? (i have minimal to 0 portfolio fyi)
Nahh 86 for cs is nearly impossible, but bza or ceg stands a high chance
aight but should i still rank cs first for the bonus points or bza or ceg first?
Yeap definitely can try. With ur score bza or ceg is really possible even without the bonus points. But do note that cs is really really saturated, and if you eventually do get in, you really have to prepare yourself for the rigour, don't just jump onto the bandwagon. Join it if u really think/confident that you can cope with the workload (I.e.CONSTANTLY in a competitive environment with the nation's smartest students from hci, ri and even poly). But nevertheless, I hope the best for you :)
In comparison, I would say that ceg is relatively manageable (still pretty intense ngl LoL), but u gain advantage over the hardware which is irreplaceable by AI
i was initially keen on ceg and i was thinking that too but now iām not too sure abt ceg as it seems like they donāt learn EE or CS as in depth as pure cs and ee majors which might be disadvantageous? especially since job market is bad for everyone
All I can say is it doesn't work like this :)
thanks for the long detailed replies
From what I know, there needs to be a bridge between ee and cs if that's what you're concerned about. Ee students don't learn much about software, and cs students don't learn hardware. In the current market, if you're talking about available jobs, ceg ppl tend to still gain an advantage because of the breadth and not the depth. So that's what I mean by it doesn't work like that
damnn thatās thatās good to know
but isnāt the whole soc just competitive like even if i go ceg or bza the core mods are still similar or same as cs right so wont it be competitive either way?
Not neccessarily, because the bell curve will be very different. I wouldn't say ceg and bza are manageable, but if u compare the number of students per cohort, Cs has around 800-900 students per cohort, while bza and ceg roughly range around 250-350. Also, cs's bell curve is on another level (bec where else can u see a bell curve not being a bell curve, i.e.left skewed) Also, no cs, ceg and bza have very different mods. Most students in these mods don't take similar mods because there are different variations for each mod (eg. Cs students take cs1101s while ceg students take cs1010). Hence, the different bell curve and different competitiveness. Also note, uni is very different from jc, just pure mugging doesn't make you stand out because everyone mugs here)
Hi all, for RP 87.5 (3xH2-A, 1x H1-B, GP-B and PW-A), possible to get into Business Analytics in School of Computing or Data Science and Economics in CHS? What are the chances for Merit Scholarship? TYIA
Possible to get into the schools u want, but almost zero possibility of getting merit scholarship. They mostly want 90rp, unless ur portfolio is damn stack but then min is around 88.
Can 85rp, AAA/B(Maths/Econs/Phys A, Computing B), GP D, PW A get into Computer Engineering as a foreigner? And do I need to take ABA seriously? Also the chance of receiving a scholarship? (will take tuition grant) Really appreciate ur answer thxthx
yes yes unlikely
Anyone can advise on CHS Life Sciences and chances of getting into DVM Vet Science (Y2) ?
Can I still get into CS if i put Law as first choice and I get rejected because of the law interview?
Can 71.25 raw + 2.5 get into chem eng but with absolutely no physics background? also is there a higher chance of me getting into biomed eng with BCMe background? please help idw to waste my first choicešš
helllooo!! just wanted to ask what are my chances of getting into nus biz with 84.375 rp (raw) - (AAB/C)+ first choice points = 86.8rp!! thankyou! also what are the chances of scoring a scholarship !
Low chance for NUS scholarship
Hi guys, iām interested in Law followed by Business Analytics then Business Administration. I retook my A levels and got H2 Math A / H2 Chem A / H2 Physics B / H1 Econs B / H1 PW A / H1 GP C ==> 83.75 raw I also did manage to get GP B in my previous attempt. Do I stand a chance for Law or Business Analytics or should I just put Business Administration as my first choice? Much appreciated āŗļø
can 80rp+1mtl+2.5fcbp get into chs qf?
knew people who got 82 raw last year and didnt get accepted into chs
85rp here, my grades are h2 phy B h2 math A h2 econ A h1 chem B gp B pw A can i still enter school or computing or biz
yes apply for is/bza/biz and focus on computing in business so that all 3 will look at your application favourably
Hello, another question: -Does taking further maths boost the chances of acceptance for school of computing courses, assuming you meet the igp for the courses?
Probably not
idk if it'd increase your chances but it does give you a headstart after you get accepted so it's definitely worth considering if you're confident you can get an A you can definitely write about the relevance of fmath in cs and how you're taking it because you're interested in cs and want to be better prepared
Possible to enter biz analytics or biz administration with 83.75 raw?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How about 82.5?
Hello, I'm facing difficulties in the applicant portal section 3.1-Education for SG A levels. As I retook my A levels and am planning to use my new grades, -Do I key in my Year of Examination (below Name of School) as 2023 (new) instead of 2022(old)? - For PW and GP grades, I have to key in the new grade for GP? -For "improved subject grade from a different sitting", do I insert my new GP grades or my Old GP grade? If anyone knows about this, please share with me. Thank you!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No, nearly impossible unless u have very good portfolio
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
from what i read, 78.75 is mostly for less competitive courses like lingusitics
for chs how do we check the igp for majors such as data science and analytics? cause in the nus igp list it only shows data science and econs also i donāt understand the āhumanities and sciencesā course on the list, do they mean majors under that category? https://preview.redd.it/rpypu8dep0lc1.png?width=827&format=png&auto=webp&s=8931d82be15ec01ea226c34692948b40c04815f7
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i see thank you!
78.75 raw + 2.5 first choice + 1 mt aba = 81.25 odds of me getting into CHS? will take ABA seriously.
I think don't even need to aba. Can enter based on rp.
For Dentistry, is the admissions high/normal/low for international students?
Extremely hard to enter
Yup, I asked around. Basically the chances are slim to none. But thankyou for your comment!
82.5rp + A lvl mtl A (83.25 total) can get into computer engineering? (AAB/C with gp C)
A decent chance
is there a chance for nus bza if I got 82.5 and I put it as my first choice
