To further studies or not?
-
Hi all...
i need some advice here regarding furthering my studies, especially from those who had face the same dilemma like me in e past.
Its like this:
i'm currently in the 3rd year of my poly business diploma, my results are so-so since year 1. All the modules i did pass without taking any supp paper.I can say that my overall results are average.my question is...would i be able to take up a Degree with my results?
btw,i'm going to enlist for NS next year.Besides, if i will to apply for SMU,i would be required to have a pass in A.Maths or equivalent and also a good SAT test score.Can anyone tell me more abt the SAT test? How long is it valid? FYI, I did not take A.Maths when i was in sec sch.will i be qualified then to apply for admission? i'm not too sure yet if i can make it to SMU with my average results.Do u think it's worth the try? i'm so confused right now on what to do with my future. Ultimately,i hope to get a Degree.
Actually,i thought of taking part-time Degree at SIM after i ORD but i'm afraid the degree may not be well-recognised as compared to those full-time courses of NUS, NTU or SMU. Furthermore, the reason why i intend to take part-time instead of full-time is that a part-time course would be more affordable for me.Besides,if i will to take full-time course, by the time i graduate and come out to work... i would reaching 30.isn that too old?
Hope u all can understand what i'm writing...cos i myself is in a blur now.haha! thanks for taking time to read.

I think alot depends on which university you're planning to study for your degree in.. Like now in Australia, I guess just about anyone with alright grades can get a degree.

Of course you could TRY applying to SMU... there's no worth or not worth trying... there's only NO HARM in trying
SAT scores ah, I can't remember.
