depends on the length of the article, it's a single double-sided page. if the article is short you'll have extra space for writing at the end

thanks!! So before the start of the essay, we are allowed to take out our own notes and copy over to the article paper? or we have to copy over based on what we memorised?

How long does SUSS take to send offer letter upon interview?

It will take around 1 month to know your outcome. But there are some that got their outcome 2 weeks after interview too! so depends, I guess? Erm.. but do check the suss portal regularly (maybe like around 2-3 weeks after your interview?). Usually results will be released on the portal first. You will only get the email one day later.

Oh I see, then I think mine not yet. Barely 2weeks yet Thank you!!

Hi! Don't worry too much about the interview. It's more casual than I expected.

1. Essay - As long as you know your resources, and am manage to summarise the key points/ideas, you are good to go. I went the extra mile to source out other articles and stuff, but in the end, the essay only asked you to refer to the ones that you were given.

2. Cognitive test - this is nothing to worry about. It's easy and simple, and you just have to do as much as you can within the given time. Nobody completes this test. It requires basic maths and English.

3. Group interview - Giving an opposing view will make you stand out (with good support, ofc). Don't hog, let everyone talk, but at the same, don't be afraid to voice out. This is where additional information is useful (e.g. I manage to insert the knowledge I got from all the extensive research I did).

4. Individual interview - the questions are basic, but my biggest tip is to know the curriculum well. Don't ask things that you can already find on the website (e.g. CCA, holiday breaks). The question "why social work" is inevitable. They will also ask you about your extra curriculum activities, volunteer work etc because at this point GPA is no longer the factor. They want to see if you actually KNOW what you're getting yourself into. Basically, this is the time where you need to market yourself.

I hope this helps! All the best!

For the cognitive test just go with your instincts. Don’t think too much. If think too much don’t have enough time to complete. The cognitive test is 50 MCQ questions with 12 minutes time limit.

Hi there,

Anybody got accepted to Business Analytics with Minor? Can share what are your final gpa?

My gpa is 3.49 but was wondering whether I can accept the offer but at the same time appeal to other unis. Sutd rejected me without any interview but still awaiting results from smu (haven’t called me up for any interview as well). I applied for IT related schools for both uni.

Ps, looks like I have fat hopes but I am just asking a genuine question. Please do not bash me or reply me sarcastically.

Thanks!

Hey.

I was offered BA as well but have yet to accept the offer. My gpa is 3.59. I know SMU SIS is still in the midst of calling people up for interview as I just received a call from them last Thursday. My interview is scheduled in late May. I may accept the offer for BA first since you can change your choice at the JAP if other uni accepted you at a later period. I have confirmed with SMU and NTU via email that they will process our application even after accepting SUSS offer.

Hi, has anyone tried rescheduling an interview at the last minute? My interview is tomorrow but I'm feeling extremely unwell right now and don't know if I can recover in time. Am I supposed to drop them an email? (I don't really know where though as I got all details through the no-reply-sims one)

I don't mind if I don't receive an offer but I feel it would be rude and improper to just not turn up

 

[Raxxxxxx]

You could drop an email and call them tomorrow morning I guess
