[wiingx]

Hello all!

I’m a poly student graduating this year, applied for NUS Life Sciences and NTU Biological Sciences, already got offer for both but in a torturous dilemma of not knowing which to accept.

Some pros and cons I’ve been thinking about based on what I read:
NUS pros:
- better reputation (or so people say/think)
- a lot more interesting modules

NUS cons:
- scary bidding system
- competitive?
- Advanced placement credits tests for additional 20 MCs exemption
- tests is $50 per module applied for!
- highly focus on theory rather than lab skills?

NTU pros:
- Direct entry to second year!
- more focused on application and skills? (Not too sure how true this is..)
- newer facilities?
- less stressful and competitive compared to NUS?

NTU cons:
- So far! (And parents object to hall life )
- less modules to select from
- less reputable compared to nus?

Is there any seniors from either of the above mentioned program who can share their experiences and opinions on which to choose? Any other pros and cons would be greatly appreciated too!

Thanks so much!

Decent chance of getting into NTU CBC. NUS sci would be tough, unless you have a good portfolio for DA

Hi, thanks for the reply. Does anyone know why NTU CBC is not a popular course despite being a sci course?

Were you previously studying from the same major as poly? Since you granted an interview, just give it your best.

I just checked my NUS application status around 7.35pm today, it states my application has been processed.

What does it mean??? The chance of me getting either "offer" or "rejection" is the fifty-fifty??

Yes. Just wait until 12 midnight. If you can't lock into their portal tomorrow at 9.30, most likely you're rejected

Recently I went to check my NTU application online, I saw there is a new row asking me to indicate my minor preferences. It was not there when I submitted the application. Is there any chances means that I have been accepted?

i don’t think it does, i got it too. from my understanding it’s just for you to indicate, once you actually get accepted.

My friends also have the minor option which wasn’t there when we first applied to NTU...but none of them have received any offers including myself
