Should be able to enter NTU com sci and SMU IS (provided you do well for the interview). Your chance for NUS might be lower since you do not have A.Math. Unless you have A2 for E.Math.

Although he does not have A.Maths, he has taken CACM - Certificate in Advanced Computing Mathematics.

There is a special agreement between Ngee Ann Poly & NUS. Students who have taken CACM will be considered as having met the Add. Maths requirement.

Source : NUS - Office of Admissions : Local Applicants

In fact, the CACM is even better than Add. Maths, as it also allows exemption from the MA1301 Maths Proficiency Test.

i even havent received my offer letter from both nus and ntu. my cgpa is 3.95 for 6 semesters and also awarded Diploma with merit. They will just reject me just because of i m non-local? i applied the following courses for both nus and ntu.
1st choice: Bioengineering
2nd choice: Mechanical Engineering.

So? I dont see how its better. Those who have Add. Maths wouldnt have to take the MA1301 in the first place. So isnt it the same?

Wrong...

Students with Add. Maths need to take MA1301 Proficiency Test.
Students with CACM are exempted from said test.

From the link I provided :
Note that students who have fulfilled the Mathematics requirement listed in (i), (ii) or (iii) are required to sit for MA1301 Maths Proficiency Test upon Admission.

iv) Applicants who do not fulfil the Mathematics requirements listed in (i), (ii) and (iii) but have obtained the following Diploma Plus Programme transcript would be deemed as having met the Mathematics requirements for the Computing courses and are not required to sit for MA1301 Maths Proficiency test:

Orhh. I thought they meant students who do not meet the criterias i through iii. Instead is do meet the criteria.

1. CS/IS has very good career prospect. Dun listen to those that tell u how ****ty the pay is in IT industry. Whether u get a gd pay or not, all depends on ur luck. BA is a relatively new major, but personally i feel that there will have a strong demand for this grp of grads in the finance sector.

2. In NUS CS, there are 4 math modules MA1301 Introdutory Math which is waived for JC students who took H2 Math. MA1101R Linear Algebra, MA1521 Calculus for computing, ST2334 Probability and statistics. Math modules in NUS are generally killer mods to computing students.

Thank you for your reply!

(As my reply is quite late, I'm not sure if you will see this, but...) I am interested in CS but I'm afraid that I may not do well... If you don't mind sharing, were you from JC or poly? I was from JC so I am a bit hesitant on taking CS as I feel it may be too difficult. Also, BA sounds interesting to me as well, but it's new so I'm quite hesitant to take it up for fear of inadequacies in the programme (e.g. planning/teaching).

[chewchun]

The reason is because both of u are applying for different admission year. ur coursemate is entering this yr and not 2 yrs later. so dont mistake that he/she is competing with u. Therefore, u actually have priority over foreign students. becuz u will be getting the place 2 yrs b4 any other ppl.

I need to clarify sometime 1st. Both of us are applying for this year admission because I finished my NS before I went into poly, haha.

Therefore don't you find it weird when I have the same gpa as her, applying for the same admission year on the same courses and she got her offer letter much earlier.

The only differences between us is, she has some CCA achievements whereas I have a academic awards for my final year project. Hence the achievements side is the same. She's a Malaysian and I am a Singaporean. That's all the differences.

Maybe its just that academically, your friend did much better. Is it the EXACT same gpa? I doubt it right? And probably her L1R4 was much better than yours. You mentioned your L1R4 was 25. Thats pretty bad. Imagine if your friends one was 10. Now, who do you think the uni would take in first? The uni also has to fill up the foreign student quota that is 20% of the uni cohort.

Hi bro, finally found someone on the same boat as me, haha. I am also waiting anxiously on the offer from NTU. My gpa is 3.82 for 6 semesters and O lvl's sux.

First thing I want to ask you, do you have any cert equivalent to Singapore O lvl's? If yes, what is your grades? My friends from other nationality, having the same gpa, received her offer much earlier then me because she has a SPM cert of 9 A's and 1 B's. Obviously your result is much better then us so applying for ENG course shdn't be a problem.

We can keep in touch with each other. In case whoever gt the offer can notify the other parties.

I sure u're right. She has gt SPM which is equivalent to O lvl's. And her SPM is very good. I can't imagine that if I cant get myself a place in NTU Mechanical ENG just because the mistake I made almost 5-6 years ago. **** my life!

No. Ngee Ann, Diploma with Merit in Accountancy.

Good Job clearing Add Maths hurdle over NS.

Because you had to go for the Add. Maths test + Interview 2 years ago - that tells me you didn't take it at O's.

I think you're a special case - perhaps your 2011 interview went well - just that Add Maths Test didn't.

Since you've proven yourself with at least a B3, perhaps they skipped over the interview for you.

Unfortunately, rather bleak by your GPA.

Did you apply through Discretionary Admission ?

Hi all,
my lecture wrote a testimonial for me, but i dont know where can i submit it. i applied both part time and full time degree for NTU, NUS only full time.
NTU Part time admission office said they not require testimonial submission.
anyone know how about full time application? only can submit during appeal?

thx~

FYI, You can only submit your testimonial for appeal purpose. Unless you are under the NAA/ discretionary section, then they will require your appraisal to submit the appraisal form online.

The link for NTU NAA/ discretionary testimonial submission is here

NUS i not sure. Btw both NAA admission for poly candidates have alr closed.
