Hi guys, wanna enquire between this 3 unis, which would be a wiser choice? I'm interested in accountancy and still pondering which uni to apply. What's stopping me to choose is due to financial and also the chance of getting in (reason being that I'm a non-business diploma) So far the info I know is that:

SIT
- requires interview
- a local uni
- full-time (full focus to study)
- able to get most financial assistance available
- planning to find part-time jobs to support myself
- 3-3.5 years (if i remembered correctly during the open house)

Unisim
- requires interview as well
- a local uni as well
- able to get the financial assistance available as well
- part-time (able to support myself financially and also own time own target)

SIM GE (RMIT)
- doesn't require interview but depends on the number of students applied
- not local uni
- part-time as well
- not much choices of financial assistance (bank loans)

Thanks for the help guys! 😊

Between SIT and UniSIM, either one will do. But try to choose the one nearest to your house. It will be easier for you transportation wise, and better incentive for you to wake up and go to school.

SIMGE RMIT can only give you some exemptions in singapore ca qualification foundation, but better than nothing.

If you didn't manage to get into any of your options, any 3 year degree will do, after that you can participate in singapore ca qualification foundation to get your accountancy education.

I see. Noted on the recognition of the cert :) I think should be fine for me if i were to take a longer time as i'm only mid 20s.

Haha I doubt the transportation would be easier for me for those 3 unis since i'm staying central and they're located at around dover and clementi. Seems like SIT's accountancy programme is better in the link that you provided. Thanks :)

sit better ba...

Thanks! :D seems like SIT is a wiser choice

Do take note that for SIT accountancy, it depends on which focus you intend to specialize in, as stated in the singapore ca website, applied finance, audit, management accounting and taxation focus are only eligible for foundation level.
But corporate accounting focus allows you to skip foundation and go straight to professional level,

IF you think of only considering SIM or unisim
I think SIT might be out of your league haha

SIT accountancy is now around GPA 3.6
SIT is now more like a "dumping ground" for NUS NTU SMU

In the sense that their GPA cut off is only around 0.2/3 below the big 3
(NTU accountancy is 3.80, SIT accountancy is around 3.6 for Non-Relevant dip, for relevant it's around 3.4)

Take Unisim for example, I got a friend 2.45 GPA got into biz management
2.45 is in NO WAY you can even get an interview from SIT LOL

Lol If given only 2 choices UniSIM FT programmes (fully/locally conferred degree as the 3 local Uni & not the SIM-GE) or SIT, i will most likely pick UniSIM as preferred choice LOL

I think you're massively confused, which is a shame considering that you probably are a student from SIT

Yes I am an SIT student that was accepted into SIT Accountancy last year. Now in NS and will be matriculating a year later
(But unsure if I wanna change course)

I graduated from NP with CGPA 3.64 from biz studies
I believe I can enter NUS but not in biz but only engineering courses which is not aligned to my vision to be an accountant as a career

I went for the tea reception for those accepted into SIT. I can tell you with relevant dip, min is 3.4x to go in. There is ALOT of 3.5s
Those that are irrelevant dip are mostly 3.6x

The lecturers there can even tell me HALF of the application were straight off rejection lol
(Like people with <3.2 GPA applied LOL)
Just because it's a new Uni and people thought it's "FREE TO ENTER"

People have the impression that SIT is "only" based on "portfolio" but never do they know that portfolio is only taken into consideration IF the applicant has hit the unreleased "cut off point"

SIT's vision is to be Singapore's University for Applied Learning meaning the forte here is to be where Theory Integrates with Application for students to gain a better understanding of what they have learnt compared to their peers in other AUs
It is a heavily Industry-Focused University
That is the direction that SIT wants to go into

If you think that it's the new SIM or uniSIM then I say, the direction of your understanding about SIT is entirely misaligned.

how much SIT pay you to write this?

So u got into sit acc?

I just don't get how am I "boasting"?
I am merely sharing my experience last year when I applied to SIT accountancy?

It's up to you whether to trust my words or not?
No gunpoint or whatsoever

Maybe you can go to SIT's admission forum page (2016 or later) and browse through their pages and you can roughly gauge the GPA for the respective courses
Some are high (acct) others not so high (those eng courses)
But bear this in mind, I can confidently say the GPA "COP" for SIT's degrees is only around 0.2 - 0.4 below NTUs/SMUs

LIKE I SAID, I AM NOT BOASTING AND YOU DONT HAVE TO BELIEVE ME
Go to their admission forum and gauge it yourself, then compare to NTUs IGP COP
