Poly or SIM??
-
I just ORDed and i have a partial A level certificate.. I intend to apply for SIM global (UOL or RMIT). My parents actually advise me to go poly take a longer route and get a local uni cert (NTU NUS) much better.. They tell me age is not a matter and ultimately is you reach ur destination.. How any comments? I am 23 next year..

just a note..from poly to local uni (NUS/NTU/SMU) u need a GPA of @ least 3.5 and above to get in.
I am 19 , just finished my poly..going to get into NS next year..will be going into SIM when i come out.
As for you, i think u better get into SIM(UOL or RMIT) first, then if ur grades are gd..can try for masters program in SMU..which i heard is possible, to boost ur degree. -
Hmmm..
No experince in ur topic.
but think of it this way, socially, peeps from poly, especially year 1, are of 17-19 years old.
Mixing around maybe a prob?
MAYBE onli.
About The GPA shiet, depending on wad course la.
If u take a course thats every1's a smart alex , den ur 3.5 would be as good as none , cos onli a certain percentage will be accepted to Uni from poly. . -
are u a boy or girl?
ur parents willing to support u for the next 6 to 7 years?
if ok.. then go poly... but den... u sure u can make it into NUS? NTU?
anyway... if i were u... i will go SIM.... -
the chances of local poly to uni, especially biz courses is as gd as none
unless u are top student... which i dun tink is possible -
The reqiurement stated is correct on the surface. But the actual stats begs to differ and is in fact higher for some of the Local Uni (Specifically am not going to name it). I have also seen Top Poly graduate of GPA 3.95 ended up quitting the Uni due to over hype competition and ended up in the workforce again. On contary, there are also sec five normal academic students who went through the poly path and then to the local uni and graduate with 2nd upper honors in NUS too and is currently taking PhD.Originally posted by online55:just a note..from poly to local uni (NUS/NTU/SMU) u need a GPA of @ least 3.5 and above to get in.

I am not saying this to discourage current poly grad from applying the local Uni but to make an awareness of the different teaching culture and learning curve. Thus, know your strenght, play the ball with the correct strategies and continuously improving it and you will be able to get through! -
Go throught SIM /ntu/NuS site..Originally posted by cosmocanyon1:I just ORDed and i have a partial A level certificate.. I intend to apply for SIM global (UOL or RMIT).

see which degree u ultimately want to get enroll into..
if all three uni have the degree u want..
check whether outside company recognise the SIM degree or not..
cause SIM degree mostly are Uni oversea like UOW/UOL...etc.
and if company recognise SIM degree..
i see no need to enroll for a longer route.. -
Since you already did your A levels why not retake it get full cert then go nus/ntu/smu

If you go poly now, Which school are you likely to go? As in IT, AS, Des, Eng or Biz?
Different schools would have different people. If you choose IT, Can you stand your classmates talking about games all the time? If you go Eng, No offence, You might find more people who you are able to communicate wtih better.
Business is also a fine choice.
But ultimately, I think taking a poly route is better but you must be prepared to bear the consequences should you be outcast by your class -
Why?? What's wrong with my suggestion?Originally posted by hiphop2009:u might as well nt say anything.... -

Already say ORDed.
+1 for SIM, do well and get a masters at SMU. -
I do have a few friends from SIM UOL whom has the same situation as TS,they find it very TOUGH to cope and end up going back to study in poly,don't think that SIM is just a uni that u pay money .u can get the paper,it easy to get in but it very hard to graduated.
If you think that you can cope,best is to save time and study in SIM. -
in the same situation with u .. and i guess im worst than u .. basically i still didnt check up on sim course or poly course .. live life through ns jus like a dream , slack n slack . Now ord liao, dream over , realised had a mount everest to climb .
. But im planning to get acca part time , n reapply some engineering course next yr to try luck cos its rabbit yr or something not like last yr . Any1 has any more advice for us

i am currently a NSF.. going to ord long way more.. March 2009.
I previously drop out from business IT from NP. i could not cope with the business modules in school and flunk them badly.. on the other hand.. i was getting average B+ on IT modules.. worse ever was a C+.
i was intending to start a few professional certs like CCNA/CCNP/CCIE and some other microsoft engineering certs during the 2 yrs of my army life. after which i thought of trying to appeal to NP to let me go back and finish my year 3.
i came across SIM and saw the available courses. which is at night 7-10pm..
bachelors in information technology..
which route should i take? route 1 or 2?
route 1 is to go back NP after NS (1 year after NS i get a local diploma)
route 2 is to take part time during NS and after NS.. (1 year after NS i get a AUS deg in IT)
route 2 seems better for me actually..
