NTU/NUS/SMU 2018-2019 Intake

[mozartbeks]

It’s very... eye-opening haha! If you get in, you’ll see what I mean. And yes, you can choose what modules you want but in your first sem they will choose for you.

I see! How big is the class size? Thanks so much for sharing really! HEHE will pray that I receive the offer!!

Rp 71!! But I'm a BCME student with O level Physics. So I'm quite afraid I will be disadvantaged

Sent you a PM

Hi, I received offers from both NTU & NUS mechanical engineering.
May I know why you opted for NUS?

Thanks!

I opted for NUS for now but my decision is not yet final as I have until 25 May to decide.
Why I'm still indecisive with my choice is due to a couple of reasons. Some of my friends chose to study engineering including electrical eng in NTU even though some of them have much higher GPA 3.9 above and can easily go NUS engineering. Their reasoning are that NTU is well known, better equipped and facilities in engineering and easier to score well than NUS.
However NUS is less distant to my home and has better overall branding to a lesser extent. That's why I'm still ambiguous with my decision for now.

i just got offered after yesterday interview at SMU

Mind sharing how’s the interview like?

Thank you so much!

Hi, may I ask if anyone has been called for any NUS Scholarship Interview (Global Merit/ Merit), NTU Scholarship and SMU Scholarship? If so, could state the specific type?

I applied for all 3 unis but have yet to receive any calls/emails/updates on the scholarship applications.

Admission wise, I've also already gotten offers from both NTU and SMU (through direct admission - discovery day) and am currently just waiting for NUS. Both NTU and SMU gave me double majors/double degrees, so I am not sure why there is such a discrepancy compared to scholarships. At least give me an interview???

Thank you so much!

There will be a discussion on a article.

It will be given before the interview takes place. 15 mins will be allocated for you to discuss in groups of 10.

Always try to answer as much as possible but not forgetting giving quality answer. They are looking at your thought process and critical thinking ability.

2 professor in 1 interview room
1 prof will be observing, the other will be facilitating the discussion.

Hi dude, I also chose NUS because it's nearer to my house and its slightly better reputation(I guess haha).Anyway, I have consulted my friends and doing my own research online before making this decision.
First of all, the quality of teaching for Mechanical Engineering is more or less the same as Singapore Universities tend to focus more on theory rather the practical learning for engineering degree courses(Consulted a NTU EEE year two friend and my internship boss who studied Mechanical engineering in Australia).
Secondly, NTU is no way easier than NUS. That NTU friend told me there are many-many-many foreign scholars studying engineering degrees at NTU. Many of them are just 18 years old and very smart of coz.. Hence, the bell curve is still taunting even we go NTU and study.
Thirdly, NTU ME intake is much more than NUS one. More people=more competition=more competitive to get a scholarship or hot demand intern position.
Hope my personal opinions can help some of our ME bros haha.

There will be lectures and tutorials. For the lectures, it’s the entire cohort. For tutorials, class size is about 15 - 20 people max. Good luck for your admissions, prospective junior!

I see! How big is the class size? Thanks so much for sharing really! HEHE will pray that I receive the offer!!

 

[lookatthesky]

Thanks for your response! We have roughly the same deadline haha.
I've been thinking about which uni to go to for a long time but I still cannot decide. However, I am offered Direct Entry to NTU (because relevant diploma) and I am not sure if I should choose NTU over NUS because of that.

Hi, I went to NTU's ME open house and they stated that there's no bell curve to which everyone cheered.
Maybe that will ease the competitive pressure a little bit? haha
Just wanna ask if you have heard of any kind of regrets from those that chose NUS instead of NTU?

Thanks!

i just got offered after yesterday interview at SMU

What timing was your interview slot? Went for yesterday interview as well but never received anything. If they release results chronically based on batch sequence, I guess I've already been rejected...

NUS also has module exemptions which allows you to graduate in 3 to 3.5 years if you have a relevant diploma from polytechnic. You can call the respective faculty to enquire more about this.

Hi, I recieved an email from SMU to attend biz interview on 14 April but I am enlisting on 12 April. Is it possible that I can get out of tekong to attend the interview?
