Uni Study Doubts
-
Well i left abt 1yr2mths to ord frm NS and i nw got a situation. Feel like study after NS but my family don't support me for my fees if i want to go study. I came from TP and grad with computer engineering. My marks is average with exception of 1st yr and i fail a module in yr 3 but manage a P with that module only but a gt a few Ds.
I want to study the following degree is it possible? But shld i work 1st for abt 2yrs then go study? Will i be able to enrol in with my grades?

Unfortunately a reality check, with ur grades, I don't think NTU or NUS will accept u. SIM accountancy, you will probably need to start from almost begining cos u don't have a basic biz/accounting dip.Originally posted by duotiga83:Well i left abt 1yr2mths to ord frm NS and i nw got a situation.

Advice, work first for 1 yr then study. If not, u will have a tough time trying to figure out how to get the school fees paid.
However, if u manage (by chance) to get a placing in NUS and NTU, just go ahead and sstudy. Get a student loan from there. They will allow u to pay once u start work. -
My same sentiments also....for my grades .....my CCA also average score and worse is i did not take SATS I test. For now is i'm tempting whether shld i apply now or later...Originally posted by icebaby0:Unfortunately a reality check, with ur grades, I don't think NTU or NUS will accept u.

shld i try and apply or after work for 1-2yrs?

I got another question: where do apply for SATS? thanks

i think its hard to get a placing in NUS or NTU. went to a talk conducted by NTU.. and they said that they only accept a few poly grads.. and those who wan to change course must get at least top 5-10%. Even for my grades with mostly Bs, think also hard to get in. Maybe SIM still got chance ba..Originally posted by duotiga83:Well i left abt 1yr2mths to ord frm NS and i nw got a situation.

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.

aerospace in ntu only take in ard 70 ppl according to a talk conducted by them a few weeks back...so it'll be quite hard...

NTU's aerospace is superhard to get in one....most likely u won't get in. com engine quite ok, can tryOriginally posted by duotiga83:Well i left abt 1yr2mths to ord frm NS and i nw got a situation.

it not possible. Once u fail a subject u can said bye bye to them. -

Go a enrolled for it, atleast got chance.
For SAT, don't need liao. NTU, NUS just scrapped it (due to the poor intake of poly grads when the SAT was in placed)
I do mentioned in another thread, poly grades is one thing but I don't think it is the full criteria. Cause got a pool of friends, some got normal grades can get in, some get quite good but was turn down
I also dunno why like that -
never never take engineering or IT..you'll loose your job to india or china sooner or later.

not pouring cold water but SMU is amongst the ranks of NTU and NUS.Originally posted by duotiga83:I think high chances of going in iseither smu/smi...is a miracle if can in nus/ntu
pls do not put smu together with sim... (not trying to discriminate anything here)
SIM is just like MDIS, etc... is open Uni, pass O level, got money, can study.
SMU is like ntu/nus... they got select the candidates one...
ok, back to topic, aerospace engin is a new course right? read in the newspaper sometime back that for jc ppl, they want AAA grades, for poly, i not sure heh.
i think it's better that you get a loan first then go study, then go work to pay back the loan.
so that when you start working, you can start building up your career, compared to if you work earn$ --study--work, there's a period in between which you gotta like er... stop for a few years, go back to work again, by that time quite "old" liao ah....
just my 3 cents.

what ranks of NTU and NUS?Originally posted by sh|t:not pouring cold water but SMU is amongst the ranks of NTU and NUS.

NUS ranks above NTU- NUS first tier
NTU ranks above SMU - NTU second tier
SMU is just one another third tier university which has no standard internationally - at best .... a singaporean third tier university . The reason they can pick and choose is because there is a big market out there
SIM - yeah open uni - third tier university shopping mall with modified degrees suited for local context.
Then again if your daddy is filthy rich and got alot of connections ( like a king or something), just donate a university building wing - you can get into any university.
What's the difference between a third tier and a third tier? -
If I were u , I might want to consider going overseas after saving money. Alternatively do Univerity of London external and do very well (top the class or something) - you might get into postgraduate courses in NUS or NTU- I heard some people did thatOriginally posted by duotiga83:Well i left abt 1yr2mths to ord frm NS and i nw got a situation.

Whether u apply now or later...does it make a difference?Originally posted by duotiga83:My same sentiments also....for my grades .....my CCA also average score and worse is i did not take SATS I test. For now is i'm tempting whether shld i apply now or later...
Student loan in NUS/NTU is very easy to get one lah...so no worries on that.
My choice is to apply now and see how ur "luck".
I know that when I tried, I couldn't get in at all though my grads was okay in poly.
Going to private or overseas university is very easy. It's whether anot they give u the exemptions which i doubt because of ur studies background. From Computer to business stream? -
well i was thinking my luck wether this yr or nxt yr......dun have the $$ to go oversea yet, thats why i'm deciding to take sats to pull up my grades....
-
Business admin!
Or at SMU also. -
Don't waste your money doing SATS unless u intend to go overseas.
Now NUS, NTU, SMU don't need it.
Your chances of getting in local U with average grades in poly is very slim.
I suggest u work to earn money for part-time studies or get parents to sponsor u to Aust. U. -
today went for the smu open house....really wanted to go there but y mom dont want to support me fiancally .......she told me to sign on saf which i dont want in order to get the $$$.......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.......
courses want to take in smu is accountacy , econs or information system management -
Haha, double degrees are not easy to get in, and also not easy to study leh dude...Originally posted by duotiga83: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.......
