NTU/NUS/SMU 2017-2018 Intake

[beta93]

Thanks for your advice, I will take it to heart.

i will give you some of my experience, took a levels in 2012, h2 grades DDE, relearn everything in 2016, 8 months, h2 grades CCC, if you want to commit, go ahead. No tuition, only have practical tuition from BMC center.

Sorry thought you meant the normal degree. Checked the part time degree out and it seems OK, lower school fees too. I'll try applying, thanks!

Please note that one condition to apply for SUSS part time is you must either have two yrs work experience or currently in full term employment. So if u thinking of applying for it, need to get a full time job first. I think there are people who quit after securing the course and just concentrate on the course or do part time instead. There is a hwz forum on pt suss. Go check out at that forum.

Hard work is the key to do well in private A levels. No one sees the hard work I put into doing well. Similarly you can too if you study consistently. Remember I studied 3 new subjects from scratch: biology physics and literature.

Lol first of all I hope you would stop assuming things about me, I've always been interested in English and know that is what I want to study. All of my choices for the local universities correlate with that fact, I'm not just choosing them just because they have low rp or whatever you think. Even my choice to not enter private universities have half to do with them not offering arts degrees that I'm interested in.

You're free to have an opinion on arts degrees but you don't have the right to shove your opinions down others' throats, they may be pretentious to you but they sure aren't pretentious to the hundreds who chose to major in them. And you sure as hell don't have the right to tell me what to do with my life.

Good and bye.

I'm just providing my opinion and point of view. You must be used to shoving things down your throat but no, I am not forcing you to listen to me, or shove anything ur throat.
Pretentious people won't feel they are pretentious. Arts and social sciences are the most useless degrees when it comes to careers. Die die also want to take an arts degree in a prestigious uni, even if it takes wasting 2 additional years trying to get it, esp when ur very financially disadvantaged, sounds very pretentious to me.
The choices u made are stupid. I'm providing you suggestions, and u say I'm shoving things down your throat. Even if u offered to, no thanks

I can only infer that the reason for u to die also wan to enter local uni, when there are priv degrees for similar courses, and when both degrees are about similar value, is just cause u want to enter a local uni for namesake.

People who are shoving their opinions down people's throats also don't tend to notice it.

Nope, I think razorlala is giving his sincere advice, not forcing someone to listen..But what he mentioned is definitely true that we should broaden our options, instead of being fixated or bent in getting into some university just merely because of its ranking.

Arts and social sciences are the most useless degrees when it comes to careers.

Many jobs can be replaced by technology and automation. But anything to do with the heart, soul and mind will never truly find a home in anything but a human.

That is all I have to say.

 

[faketom]

Application for ntu was pending during the first window, but I just gotten an offer from ntu business!
Good luck to all of you guys who's application is still pending!

May I know what's your RP/GPA?

Really depends on what course in arts and social science. I would say among the entire faculty, the course with the potential to have a higher pay would be Economics. (Finance-related). The other courses are really passion-based jobs, like Philisophy, History, English, Chinese, Sociology, Pschology, these courses most likely become teachers or community or welfare-services based jobs. Linguistic, communication studies and public policy could be slightly more useful as they can land you in a media, govt- sectors jobs. So I would say social sciences courses are more towards passion rather than looking at the possible salary you may earn.

Hey dude, when you mentioned that arts and social sciences degree are the most useless degrees out there, that's a pretty strong sweeping statement which I feel is an extremely narrow point of view. I've been in the government sector for two years and there are many (if not, nearly all) departments in the sector who are in need of arts and social sciences degrees because of their flair in writing and policy making. Many of the people working there possess arts degrees If you're referring to specialised jobs such as engineering and information security then the demand isn't there but when you said it is the most useless degree in careers, that is not true. Speaking from experience and I hope you can provide some statistics to prove your statements. If not, let's just focus on the topic of admissions.

Pretentious. Hope your heart, mind, and soul are self-sustainable.

May I know which areas of expertise do the government sector or which job positions do they require? And are they able to land in higher positions and higher pay in gov't sector due to their flair in writing? I guess you have to explicit say which course in the Arts and Social Sci, as different course teaches different stuffs. Not all courses are writing based courses, like Economics, it is very mathematical based in uni. Because I don't believe just good writing skills alone can land you in a very high position, without a "actual" strength or expertise. Just like engineering students are equipped with engineering skills, accountancy students have a set of accounting skills. Just merely writing skills is not a specialised set of skills to enable you far.,

With CDD/E grades can i get into SIM-UOL accounting&finance ? Or should i retake As if i get rejected again ? I really dont have a specific back up plan :-(

Actually I find you are extremely intelligent. You can study new A level subjects H2 Bio, Phy and Lit without attending classes in a JC or without any teacher's guidance. Everytime you retake A levels, you would challenge yourself by taking new subjects which you never encounter before. Care to share how you manage to study new subjects without lecture notes or tutorials, and do share how is your experience studying new subjects without knowing what is the exam format?

As long as you meet the minimum requirement, you'll be confirmed a place.
