Currently I am about to ORD in august 14.
Used to take banking finance in ngee ann poly. Has a diploma but bad gpa. Never study... O levels l1r5 12 points.

Currently choosing between Biz admin , biz mgmt , marketing , banking finance.

Cant really decide. I want a course that requires more creativity. I hate dry stuff. Thus banking was a little tough for me as it was really dry.

Any recomendation.

Whats your GPA? Because they will first look at your GPA. Maybe you can give a range and we can try to recommend you a school?:)

Copenhagen biz sch seem to have quite good standing. Would I be able to get in?

I have no location preference. And I am definitely willing to take risk for a better uni. This is alr my last chance. I dont want to choose wrongly again like I did after Os

U didn't click on your EDMW thread to check?

No budget??
Risk taker then do CC and transfer!
Go Columbia college and see if u can ubc-sauder
Or
Foothills or de Anza and see if can transfer to UC or USC

If don't want that then try
Indiana gen college to transfer to kelly if u wanna read biz
Else that gives u the opportunity to decide a better suiting major

Your option is to read CC and transfer.
But U have to aim at doing real well scoring pretty well keeping GPA at ~3.7 or higher.

2yrs at CC here is ~CND$50k.
Columbia College | Estimated Living Expenses
transfer to UNC-Sauder - 2yrs ~ cnd$90K or a total of sgd$165k
Tuition adjustments for international students - Courses & Registration

SFU or Uni of Calgary a little cheaper 2yrs ~cnd$70K or a total of sgd$140k+
International - Financial Aid and Awards - Simon Fraser University
http://www.ucalgary.ca/pubs/calendar/current/assets/FEES_CHART.pdf

Go UMN-Morris for 2yrs at USD$40K, then transfer to UMN-Carlson for 2yrs at ~USD$70K.
at ~sgd$145K
University of Minnesota, Morris | Admissions | Tuition & Costs
Estimating your costs

don't want risk go MUN for all 4yrs will only cost U ~sgd$100K
Become an Undergraduate Student | Tuition & Fees
or go Uni like Curtin, UWS, RMIT for 3yrs. curtin is at aud$83K in tuition add living that might blow your budget.

Or try Finland/Norway no tuition but cost of living is ~eur$60K or sgd$100K
Study programme database search | Studyinfinland.fi
Study in Norway/What can I study?/Undergraduate studies/

or U could study at SIM-UB for 2yrs then transfer out to better uni.
