Just got my rejection letter from NTU despite having a 3.9 cGPA with Leadership roles in CCA and from related diploma course.

Honestly, don’t understand how their selection process work when a friend with a lower cGPA with no CCAs got accepted. Downright unfair.

oh well, that’s life. But thankfully good news from NUS and SMU.

Based on the online posts I've seen so far, I'm starting to think that they have an entirely different rubrics for ABA that it might be beneficial for lower GPA students to just apply for regular admissions instead of ABA.

Hi, I just took the math and logic test with NUS for school of computing under ABA admission. I am pretty worried since i felt i did not do well in the test would not doing well in this test determine the outcome of the admission? my cGPA is 3.92

do you have at least B3 O lvl amath? If not then chances are quite low

Lots of questions about ABA aka Discretionary admissions in the last few pages, allow me to chip in:

Non-clear cut admits need to convince the University and faculty of your answers to 2 broad questions in order to be admitted:

1. Why you? Out of the many that want to be considered, what do you bring to the table that’s different or unique? It helps if you reframe the issue as - How much loss will it be to the faculty and classroom if you’re not part of it? Maybe you have very relevant work experience and can bring specific details to team discussions? Also, applying across different years consistently for the same courses does help to show sustained interest and focus.

2. Can you survive the programme? Most prospective students don’t address this when applying. The faculty needs to have some assurance that if they take a chance on you (maybe your grades are not stellar [mine were horrific to the point that I wouldn’t have made it to private colleges]), you’ll still be successful and graduate. Some ways to show that are the SATs (especially if you’ve been out of school for awhile), taking a advanced or specialist diploma.

3. For those that meet the criteria, do consider the mature admissions route. It helps that colleges do want to diversify the talent pool and value a range of experiences. Certainly at NUS business, that has been the case

Hope this helps, cheers

Hi sir, may I have a chat with you?

Hi, I dropped you a PM, not sure if you’ve seen it.

Could I clarify - you’re currently on a private degree pathway but you wish to ask how to get into NUS? Does this mean you intend to read another Bachelor’s after you finish the current one?

Also, what field of study are you currently on?

Is there a new similar thread for 2022-2023 intake?
