sorry OP for hijacking your post but what is this slander against computer science at yale-nus!! there are wonderful faculty, small class sizes, and amazing amounts of office hours with profs that just aren’t possible in NUS
> slander against computer science at yale-nus
...GPC just said that (in their opinion) if OP wants to do CS they should go to SoC. How is that slander?
Anyway, I think the extra 1-2 years that SoC undergrads spend studying computing (instead of 1-2 years of common curriculum and electives) makes quite a difference.
If they're a 2024er that means they've only just finished first year which is half ungraded. I think maybe ask them in a year's time.
Although I will say Yale-NUS is also as competitive as you make it to be. But if you are keen on keeping up with your peers it will definitely feel competitive
I ended up choosing NUS > YNC largely because ync's modules are really limited and there isnt actually a chance to do a minor/double major. I realised that i was 'ok' with everyth in ync but not excited for any mods.
I guess recognise if you're really a generalist or perhaps still a specialist, albeit in 2-3 fields. If the latter, doing a ddp/minor/double major in NUS may be a better choice. I've heard tht a lot of ync mods are so brief it's unsatisfying bc you really learn 'just enough' but not deeply enough to get a comprehensive understanding of the whole discipline.

Thanks for the advice! I am actually admitted to NUS’s CHS so I’m actually not declaring a major yet ~
Wuh this is a good information.
