WAiting acceptance from NUS/NTU zip lai~~!!!

[expert128sg]

wah now sp chem eng so hard to get com liao ah haha. my time a 3.6+ abit would easily get you a com. There are certain advantage to com, including allowing you to apply for a non relevant course in university to allowing you to exempt certain modules in your course. A COM means you are top 10% of your course. When deciding between someone with a COM and someone without a COM, its very clear who the university will choose.

Mass comm entrance is more dependable on interview than result, as i know lots of friend in WKW that have lousy result in their A level but is good at speaking.

I agree to a certain extend....Non-COM can also change to non-relevant courses which doesnt require relevant diploma, like Biz school.

my frend got 3.92, COM holder, cant even get into Biz sch thru interview, so not necessarily that with COM u stand a better chance den sumone who doesnt have one.

I think COM advantage will only kicks in when there is maybe one slot left, and they will have to choose between one who is a COM compare to one who is not

Anyway, COM is Chem Engine do not gurantee a place in Chem Engine in NUS. Confirmed abt tht...my frend a COM holder, higher GPA, did not get into Chem Engine. Whereas one of them not a COM, GPA lower by 0.05 got in...

the only factor for that is still your O Lvl...strong O lvl, can help u beat ppl who got COM hahas

according to the page abv, its not true direct entry to yr2 is granted for all.some is depends on merit where COM/DWM is 100% given direct entry to yr 2 as for those without will be a case by case basis. more info can be found on individual faculty websites

for my cohort, as long as u get into uni and courses related to engr...all gotten direct 2nd yr... regardless whether u are COM or not... (applies to NTU)

whereas those in NUS, whether u are COM or not, u dun get direct 2nd yr...but exemptions..
but but....gals got more exemptions than guys...blame on army hahas

yes i agree that O lvl also needs to be taken into consideration. However if someone who has gd O lvl results and COM/DWM, i dun think he or she will lost to anyone without COM/DWM.

as for ur friend who didnt get into the course becuz he failed the interview. and biz course dun need COM/DWM in order to get in.. According to NUS/NTU websites, any dip can go to biz course... unlike other courses like bio med where a relevant dip is needed. in that case , COM/DWM will come into play.

I just send in my withdrawal email to SMU.
They have been quite hardworking, keep on calling me to remind me.
Dunno my withdrawal is it the right decision or not.
According to yesterday's newspaper, 1 out of 8 student in SMU is a scholarship holder, which means if I go SMU, i may get to study for free.

haiz..u makes it sounds so easy. The problem is hard to get good result.
When I just got into poly, I missed the scholarship by a little bit.
After year 1, i wasn't even called up for interviews coz my result is too lousy.
Forget it, no scholarship= no expectation.

Relax la. Most important is what you make out of your degree. Ultimately benefit > cost good enough

quite true...
Anyway I am not cut out to be a scholar, so I should stop myself dreaming from getting free education.
Gonna work harder to earn enough to pay for the fees.

this kind of scholarship, take it as bonus. have then have, dun have then dun have loh. no stress to apply ... i wouldnt even bothered to apply for those scholarships if my parents didnt pressurize me to. (didnt even get to go for interview)
