[Golden_Fox]

I'm lucky this year, I didn't get such questions like how many emails will Singaporeans receive in a day, how many chicken rice stalls and how many bus stops.

Mine was how many people can enter a mrt during rush hour.

There are a few killer courses (Software Engi & IS480, anyone? ) but nothing you can't handle with some interest and consistent work. Admittedly, the increase in effort required for each step-up in grade is quite exponential.

anyone 27 apr interview. accepted?

 

[Amancia]

I thought I should give an update. I received my offer from SMU SIS yesterday evening and my interview was on the 29th April. I did not think I will be offered because I screwed up the estimation question. I was the only one in the group that failed to come up with an answer and my reasoning was rather off. The dean even corrected me several times while I was explaining.

For my year, we were asked to estimate the number of barrels of tar needed to maintain the roads in Singapore. I didn't have a number but only a small scribble of how I would estimate.
