*I didn't have a choice.

Er, treat you? Or you were really one? Actually I thought you took MMU Foundation and now trying to apply to NUS for your desired course. Maybe I had mistaken that. And which road do u mean is not easy?
I'm sorry I can't get your drift here probably because I'm not sure what situation you are currently in. (mind to share?)

Besides Form6 or A-level, there isn't any other way to get into NUS? @.@
(hopefully those seniors currently enrolling in NUS may provide me a better answer)

Yes, I'm no doubt a MMU foundation student but please treat me as someone who has taken A-level/STPM as a private candidate. I'm not applying to NUS with my MMU qualification.

STPM or A-level would be the ideal pre-u to get into NUS.

For those intending to do life sciences should apply under Science and you will get to declare your major after you get matriculated.

Also, I would like to highlight an interesting part of your life being a NUS student which is the UROPS project. It's basically a project that allows undergraduates to take up a research project and conduct the research under the supervision of a professor. It's great !!

You mean Prof Paul Matsudaira? He was my Freshman Seminar lecturer last semester! He's really good and our standard is really not up to his standard.

With those results, you should be able to. I have a few friends who scored 3.67 who got accepted for E&E. But then again, admission selection is quite unpredictable and it changes every year.

If I am not mistaken, some big companies such as Motorola have closed shop in Singapore.Think twice before choosing your course of study.

Just a word of advice.You can choose not to listen.

Yeah ! His expectation is damn high !!

I've went to him asking for a review of my UROPS Level 2000 research project and kena bombarded like hell...

Even so, don't worry, the outcome will be good. Last sem when I did my Freshman Sem final project, all of us had to do so many drafts until he was satisfied. He just wants us to know what he expects and how students in MIT are compared to here.

Good luck for UROPS

Anybody apply NUS financial aid?

2.5Explanation on how your family supports itself (applicable only to those with ‘$0’ income).
Please submit Declaration Form B and refer to Section B of the Application Summary Document (available after you have submitted your application) for the relevant documents required. [100 to 200 words]
does this mean only those 0 income need to submit Form B or all the applicants are required to do so?

[llbbss8149]

ZERO income only

For your information two years ago, I have one student with CGPA 3.92 Muet band 4 got rejected for Chemical Engineering but another student with CGPA 3.84 Muet band 5 managed to squeeze through and was offered the same course.

For chemical engineering this year, with the stiff competition, you have to be the best of the best going by the indicative grade profile given this year for local students

You may get a slot in E&E. Dont give up hope. Push your luck.
