Depends on your CCA portfolio as well... It is extremely hard for poly grads to gain admission to the DDP... Your GPA alone would not be enough...

Please tell us why you said that "Ït is extremely hard for poly grads to gain admission to the DDP". Thank you in anticipation.

An acquaintance from poly tried to apply for the programme but was told that the DDP is not offered to poly grads... Out of the people I know, only 1 in the programme was from poly... And that was with near perfect GPA and stellar CCA achievements and contributions... So yeah...

ex anot ah?? the aircon hall need pay for electric card right?

Moi ish NUS. I think NTU got different scheme but price range should be similar.

For moi RC, double room cost me about 2.2K, single room will cost about 3.1K

A/C room definitely cost more and need a pay per use system for the A/C so probably electric card.

For moi, the fan is already damn strong so no need for A/C :s13:

Thing is, RC costs more compared to halls in NUS because of the meal plan. Room prices are similar but for halls, meal plans costs 360 or so. For RCs, it cost 800+ :<

Does representing my course in various competitions and obtained 2 awards helped? I even held leadership role too. Tks

20% O Level Requirement for Poly students

Does anyone knows the 20% O Level requirement for Poly students. Is it L1B4 or L1R4? Kind of confuse

Ah! Maybe they are regretting their bias and repenting with changes. These couple of days, with release of early admission offers, I counted 4 poly fellows and 1 gal (so far) offered DDP. Good of them. Cool.

I really want to get into NUS Computer Science so badly and I'm very passionate about continue learning IT related stuffs and programming, but I'm so scare that my results might not be good enough to land me into this course and school that I want :(

Previously I was told by my lecturer that I stand a very low chance of even getting into NUS Comp Sci and that NTU suits me better as it is very competitive & I do not have A-Math. How !!! It's really making me feel very upset about it ...

Will I stand a better chance if i go for DA or something ?

I have 2 internship, one Overseas Internship in Beijing, China and the other local internship at a Government Agency, both as a Software Developer. And the reason why I can have 2 internship was because I'm awarded a Scholarship in my final year and so I'm eligible to change my FYP to Overseas Internship. And I have just finished my overseas internship, currently performing my local one.

Also I don't really have a fixed CCA group but I did join some school events help out that gives CCA points and participated in some competition like NTU Hackathon, DSTA Cyber Defenders Discovery Camp. Also joined a 5-mth leadership overseas exchange programme. And I have 3 director's list cert, 1 certification for Python Essential course, & some other certification of participation for some other IT related competition. Oh & I also took up 2 Diploma + modules

+ I'm a girl ! (Idk if this helps due to the gender ratio gap that SoC is suffering)

Do I still stand a chance to get into NUS Comp Sci ? :(

I think you may have a chance at NTU School of Computer Sceince and Engineering (SCSE). Smile .. I was at CDDC too.
