Advice needed on which uni to go to

[tanglin10]

Hi People,
I was wondering if it would be a better idea to go to a private uni or go back to poly to pursue a degree in a field which i'm really interested in sadly my gpa is around 2.5 so i'm not sure if i can apply for SIM or UniSIM ? Thoughts & Comments much appreciated

I heard someone got rejected by unisim this year with a 2.8. Unisim is getting stricter and more popular due to being a public uni. Simge will still take you in though.

U have a dip but wanna get another diff field dip? If I'm u I'll go private uni to save time & opp cost. I don't think it's logical getting 2 dips if i can begin work faster & get exp.

Sorry if my pov is lousy just my 2 cents.

Unisim needs 2y working exp & u must be 21yo/above?

I think no harm in trying for both and i am above 21 , i think part time would be really beneficial as i would be working & studying at the same time .

Ya applying both is good, studying+working is difficult do think carefully!

Yes, studying part time and working full time is tough and this is on top of other commitments.

However, if u are able to get into a good university and do well, it does demonstrate your maturity, time management capability, perseverance etc.

Tanglin10, you didn't indicate what course you would like to do.

i think for unisim 2years NS still consider working experience, i heard one of my friends got provisional letter from unisim with GPA 2.0 local poly cert. so no harm trying of cos u need above 21
