I received the same email that veryveryvery & Louie got from NUS. I'll be accepting NTU's offer and following up with the freshmen procedure (matric number etc...) but in the event NUS does offer me, will I still be able to reject NTU?

IT issues may be a reason but I just think they are now considering students under DA.

Remember, intake increased to 15% so DA students need more time to be scrutinized. It's not like direct admissions where 90RP, ok offer, 88.75? Ok offer.

Need to consider the achievements and all I would say.

I think should not be a problem but may have to inform NTU and make sure to CONFIRM you get a place for NUS if you do get offered.

matric details will be sent from mid june, around the time NUS gets back to us it seems. Second window will also still be open as long as you accept promptly I think there shouldn't be a problem with rejecting NTU

Yeah, doesn't mean they're not considering you still :s13: There are also other students to consider and we don't know how many applications there are currently pending. Hard to gauge.

Someone was offered an interview on the 24th for Business? Not sure so it does explain why there are delays.

at least it seems to happen with every faculty, maybe a sudden increase/decrease in intended intakes? :s13:

Possible. Another explanation could be that they are awaiting people to accept or reject offers.

Then based on this, those borderline depending on the ranking will get offered and so on.

Perhaps rather than outright reject you, maybe they put you on a waiting list?

Do we just call up the admissions office to check the status of appeals or do we call the department directly?

Will NTU definitely send an outcome before 25 May, the deadline for 1st acceptance window, closes?

I think this year NUS also want to avoid the unpleasant situation of last year when they reject people only to offer them later. So they rather put the rest under consideration and waiting for slots to be freed up after 25May.
