anyone has a BOSS guide for freshmen?

Nope. Haha. Tell you frankly, BOSS bidding is still one of the mysteries of SMU. Only thing seniors can advise are to check prior bids in the previous years, and make sure you clear enough mods to graduate in time. And oh, you may want to bid with friends since there are group work to be done for most mods.

Anyway, I don't recommend having a few friends to group till year 4. Afterall, when you graduate, most of them are not going to be with you anymore. Learning how to work with different kinds of people is a useful skill if you ask me.

Having said that, I'm looking for computational thinking team or classmates for year12/13 term 2.

Anyone? It'll be interesting to form team with random people off the net.

very true hahha.....plan ur bid wisely...account for inflation. Usually the e$ is more than enough if u spread ur bids correctly, its no rocket science.

As for bidding with friends, just an advise and note that good friends arent necessary good co-workers etc. So make sure you take extra care when working with friends, for relationships will sour one

no one has called me to inform me of ftb! It's the first run already :((

Me too!!! But I just sent in an email to them and they said only run 3 and 4 is available now so I requested for run 3 because i cant make it for run 4. Heard that run 4 has a lot of international students. Maybe you can email them too!

during my time. I've also heard a lot about run 4 having lots of international students, reason I guess is because most just arriving Singapore and thus unavailable for first few runs.

Anyway, I was from run 3 if I recall correctly. I think run 3 should be the best because it's toned down as compared to run 1 and 2.
