[Golden_Fox]

NUS cop too high

 

[davsmiths]

SMU ISM sibeh jialats meh? U say like that, NUS IS dept course must be considered paradise liao.

(P.S Greeting from a student currently in NUS IS dept)

Noticed that I'm only comparing within SMU. Yup, jialat within SMU.
Your IS mods had varying grading component to determine your competency.
Besides dealing with IS modes, you have Business modules which have varying projects as well.

Individual + Group proj + mid-terms + final exams. your 100% can be split into 10 (class part, note that SMU requires u to be actively contributing in class ,20 (mid terms) ,35 (final exam),15(individual project) ,20 (group proj) percent for grading.

Now, take 5 modules each sem. You'll definitely need to manage your time because all 5 groups will want to grab hold of you.

hi, you received an email or something? What's your GPA/A Level results?

I checked the online portal. Btw I'm from a JC so my grade is ACC/B which is a little below average..

 

[miobox123]

omg.. so soon? when did u go for ur interview?
acc/b is like well above thier cop man

 

[blurry101]

I went for it on 19 apr.

 

[miobox123]

sry to hear abt that mate. you definitely stand a high chance for ur appeal. my grades are worse than urs. no words yet. did you perform well during ur interview?

 

[blurry101]

oh so u went for the interview already? I didn't do well at all.. Ok i'll appeal and see the outcome but actually i'm not very interested in this course, it's my backup plan haha

 

[miobox123]

oh hahah.. kinda same.. they asked me why put IS third choice huh, MR ....! but real surprise, acc/b rejected.. no idea how their adm works.

 

[blurry101]

so your first 2 choices are? hmm actually my rank points is pretty low because my h1 is an E .. Btw can anyone share some tips on how to write an appeal letter?

 

[miobox123]

if u'r wondering. i got like a double E for my h1. haha. bbc. my first two are econs/social science haha. i think appeal letter just write abt why smu should take you in/what can you contribute to the sch bah.

 

[blurry101]

Oh thx for the tip =) Hmm but after looking thru the comments left by IS students I don't feel very interested already and am thinking of applying for socio instead, which is my 2nd choice actually =X should i appeal for socio instead?

 

[miobox123]

not very certain too. but i think ss emphasize on gp grade. i believe ntu eng shouldn;t be any prob to you

 

[blurry101]

Eeks i never did like eng so i didnt choose that at all..

 

[miobox123]

hahah ok. neither do i. All the best for ur appeal mate!

 

[miobox123]

At least you all went for the interview. I've not even been called up for interview. Care to share what they ask during the interview?

articles. estimation questions, strengths/talents, why IS, Q and A haha that;s abt it mate.

 

[blurry101]

Thx Miobox i hope u get into the course that you want

Btw that pretty much summed up the whole interview. Rmb to memorise well for the article!
