SMU Information Systems Interview

[direbmem]

now this course should be super hot after it reported the highest salaries for last batch of local grads....

 

[Bibby@SG]

Did anyone receive the offer from SMU ISM ?

 

[Ryuichi]

dont bother. smu is a piece of sh!t.. you're better off in the other two unis

Don't bother calling la, if they want you or not they will call..

A little update, everyone. I got a call from SMU today at around 5 PM for an interview on Thursday. I thought they were going to void my application as I applied a day before the deadline. I am pretty sure I am going for NUS FASS, but I want to keep my options open so I am going down for the interview!

[jervenne]

Hi!

just gotten my SIS acceptance letter.
interviewed on 19th apr.
I'm from a local poly, with gpa of 3.84

all the best for the rest!

just want to ask everyone although I've a strong attraction towards SIS;
what do you guys feel about NUS IS and SIS?

 

[junglegym]

My brother just got admitted into IS. His interview was on Saturday, 24th April. Took A levels, got straight Bs, has background in computing.

 

[random_person]

Both should (at least ISM does) give you ample opportunities for development albeit in different packages. I love what I got out of SMU but I do wonder what I'd have turned into if I went to SoC instead. It is a matter of what you want to do, in the end.

Really, it depends.

 

[Golden_Fox]

I just got admitted 18 hours ago!!!
NYP Dip in IT 3.50
This was my THIRD interview.

For those considering to take ISM, let me just share a few tips.

There are other degrees out there that don't require as much time and effort to complete.
ISM is the only degree in SMU that requires you to do a FYP (burnt one summer away, in fact for all your holidays, you'll be encourage to take up various courses) and does not allow you to re-take your CORE modules directly if you fail them because the school doesn't offer it.

An SIS student needs to be a consistent worker/mugger and must possess extreme tenacity in dealing with the heavy workload.

If you're up for the challenge, welcome to SIS. Really really think twice. Within my circle, I've known at least 3 who quit school, 4 who failed their fundamentals IS modules.

*This message serves as a reality check. My two cents worth.
