NIE admission anyone?

[cormet]

they phrased it along the lines of whether i reject teaching chinese rather than whether i want to teach chinese.

i thought they gave a green piece of paper abt ept. so nice ah, besides that, they still take the time to sms pple.

yarh have you got your sms??and i think i'm exempted from ept (b for gp),but still got the sms!they said "you won't even consider teaching chinese?"..

B3 exempted, B4 not exempted.

i don't turn on my phone usually... >.< i can't check my phone right now, but i haven't got any relevant smses up till today morning. i'm not required to take ept as well.

if the "you won't even consider teaching chinese" part is in the same sms as asking you to take ept, perhaps it's for chinese ept? maybe they hoped that if people take that it'd be easier to persuade them to go for chinese.

 

[cormet]

oh nono,the won't even consider teaching chinese part is during the interview.SMS is only about ept,but i guess i'm exempted from english and chinese tests i guess.

 

[facialcotton]

LOL, they're like, quite enthu (avoiding using another word) abt getting chinese teachers har..

i got the sms alr. from a liang xxxxxxxxxxxxx/moe yesterday. no way to verify, though i don't think anyone would pull a prank on me.

 

[cormet]

ya i was rather confused at first.i rcv ntu comp eng letter on 7may,but went for nie interview on 6may.NIE was my 3rd choice,comp eng 2nd choice.So i called NTU the next day to clarify,then the guy i spoke to said that NIE admission is given by MOE,so if i were to be accepted by NIE,the letter would come from MOE.

wah!i think that qn is quite tough!if u were offered a place in other unis,,which wld u pick?nie or other unis..what did u reply?gosh!sure sounds tough..

 

[cormet]

i said that i had been accepted into comp eng for nus,but i would be appealing to FASS as my original plan was to go there,perhaps major in a teaching subject then go into NIE.So at first it was comp eng VS nie,which would i pick,i said NIE.Next question was if my appeal is successful,then FASS VS NIE,which would i pick.HAHA actually in my heart of course i wanna take FASS,but i said NIE =X,but i said that because now that i want to be a teacher,i might as well go into teaching earlier anyway.
